The city that nurtured Smetana, Dvořák and Janáček, and saw performances in
his prime by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, has a place in musical history alongside
that of Vienna. Two major festivals of classical music - Prague Spring and Strings of

thriving live music scene that spans genres from hard rock to electronica.
