The most visual architecture guide to Prague ever published – more than 60 buildings, designed by some of the world’s greatest architects, presented on a beautifully illustrated map to accompany you on your next trip to “The City of a Hundred Spires”.

Prague is a living museum of architectural styles spanning centuries. From its medieval roots to its flourishing as a cultural and political hub of Central Europe, Prague has developed a unique architectural tapestry that reflects its rich history and vibrant present. Its skyline, adorned with Gothic spires, Baroque domes, and modern marvels, offers endless inspiration to architects and travelers alike.

The city’s historic architecture is unparalleled, particularly in the Old Town (Staré Město), where landmarks like the Gothic Church of Our Lady Before Týn and the ornate Powder Gate Tower evoke Prague’s medieval splendor. Crossing the Charles Bridge into Malá Strana (Lesser Town), visitors are greeted by the Lesser Town Bridge Tower, a majestic gateway to Prague Castle, one of the largest ancient castles in the world. This iconic ensemble of Gothic, Romanesque, and Baroque structures stands as a symbol of the city’s enduring legacy.

Prague’s embrace of modernism is equally remarkable. The New Stage National Theatre, designed by Karel Prager and Zdeněk Kuna, blends bold geometric forms with a distinctive glass curtain wall. Jaroslav Rössler’s Federal Assembly, with its striking cantilevered structure, and the futuristic Žižkov Television Tower by Václav Aulický and Jiří Kozák, exemplify Prague’s mid-20th-century architectural ambitions.

Contemporary architecture in Prague continues to push boundaries. The Dancing House, affectionately known as Fred & Ginger, by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić, is a playful yet iconic addition to the Vltava Riverbank. The Masaryčka Building by Zaha Hadid Architects introduces dynamic curves to the urban fabric, while Zlatý Anděl (Golden Angel) by Ateliers Jean Nouvel revitalizes Smíchov with its sleek, modern aesthetic. Together, these works ensure Prague remains at the forefront of architectural innovation.
