Prague welcomed almost 8 million tourists last year

Hi everyone!

I was pleased to find out that Prague, the capital city of my beautiful homeland, has been further strengthening its position among the most popular and visited cities in Europe.

Last year, the Czech metropolis was visited by 7.9 million tourists, which represents a 3.2% increase compared to the previous year. Traditionally, the vast majority of these arrivals was made up by international visitors but there is actually been a significant increase (12%) in the number of domestic tourists traveling to Prague.
