Origin of Prague

How to get to Prague? The history of Prague originates in ancient times, in the 7th century, and is associated with the name of the Slavic princess Libushe, a beautiful and wise woman with the gift of foresight. Libushe and her husband, Prince Přemysl, peacefully ruled the Czech lands from the Visegrád Hill. According to legend, once on Либуше the vision has descended. She stood on top of the cliff, looking at the Vltava and the wooded slopes of the river, and proclaimed: "I behold the great hail whose glory will reach heaven." She ordered her people to go and build a castle in the place where a certain person was building a threshold (in Czech práh) of a new house. "And since even a noble nobleman must bow low before the threshold, call this castle Prague". Her orders were executed, and after two hundred years the city of Prague became the seat of the Přemyslid dynasty.
