Hi everyone!
Most of you know that I love promoting my beautiful homeland, the Czech Republic, and its spectacular capital city, the city of Prague.
With that said, I was really pleased to read in the news today that tourism keeps flourishing in Prague. Last year, the Czech metropolis was visited by whooping 7.65 million visitors (both domestic and international), more than ever before.

I was also happy to find out that a vast majority of those visits (6.55 million, to be precise) were made by tourists from other countries.
As for the percentage of visits by individual nations, the rank remains unchanged with most international tourists visiting Prague coming from Germany, United States, Great Britain, Italy and Russia. However, this rank might change soon as there is an increasing interest in Prague among tourists from China, South Korea, India, Taiwan and several other Asian countries.

Yes I have been there plenty of times.
My girl lived there quite some time and showed me lots of nice places.
Glad to hear that! I hope you had a fab time during your trips. Tomas
When I get enough money from steem, I think Prague will be the destination of choice. Thank you for the good content, the pictures are spectacularly beautiful.
I wish you the best of luck so you can realize your dream! I am sure with a lot of hard work, passion and dedication that will come in no time. Tomas
Prague is one of my favorite European capitals. I'm there two to three times a year. I love this city
Feel free to participate in my photo sharing challnenge if you have some good pics from Prague. Tomas
Good idea :) Thanks
Thanks for the post. We are going to be visiting Prague over the easter holidays. It truly looks like a beautiful pkace to visit. Are there any specific sites you reccomend visiting? I like to explore the less 'touristy' attractions. Also what can we expect their over easter?
I would suggest following my daily photo sharing challenge where other Steemians post their picture from Prague and other locations around the country giving a description of the place or their experience... You will definitely find a lot of inspiration from those post... Also, make sure to take some good pics while there so you can participate after your return. Tomas
Great thanks! I will follow that and will definetly share some photos when we return as I have a nice camera and am learning how to use it.
I live in Prague for more than 10 years and it seems to me that every year less tourists are coming to Prague. A lot of places being cool once are now vanished and lead by strange managers who do not realize the specific. A lot of my friends from travel industry are out of the business now. So the statistic looks strange to me, but I hope to be wrong.
Wow, I am really surprised by your comments since the number of tourists has been on the rise year after year. Even though I do not reside in Prague I do come here fairly frequently and I have not noticed that it would be lacking the tourists.... Oh well, maybe just a difference of the opinions which is just fine.... Thank you for your note and have a great day. Tomas
I live in Prague since birth. It is interesting to see how the city has changed since communism to the present.
Yep, a huge transformation which I have been lucky to witness as well. Have a good one. Tomas
I'm looking to head to Berlin in a couple months and now since following you perhaps Prague!
Makes a perfect sense to visit Prague out of Berlin since it is a short train ride..... Have a good one. Tomas
