Tell us about three must-do things in the Czech Republic.

The Czech Republic brings together impressive natural landscapes, and a complex history, that attracts tourists and professionals from all over the world who come to visit, live, work or study in this beautiful country. It is very difficult to describe only three things which are must-do things in the Czech Republic. But let me try. First, I recommend to visit some ancient castles. The architecture and historical buildings provide cultural sites to explore, also the surrounding natural environment offers plenty to awe you as well. Second, you should try Czech beer. It has long-lasting taste and always excellent quality, therefore it is considered one of the best beers in the world. Third, definitely, Prague, the capital. Walk through the historical centre or take a hot-air balloon ride.

Prague, the historic centre of Prague is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Comment.

The historic centre of Prague was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1992, and includes the Průhonice Park, a unique example of garden design and landscaping. Prague belongs to the group of historic cities which have preserved the structure of their development until the present times. Historic centre of Prague built between the 11th and 18th centuries, the Old Town, the Lesser Town, and the New Town speak of the great architectural and cultural influence enjoyed by this city since the Middle Ages. The many magnificent monuments, such as Hradcany Castle, St Vitus Cathedral, Charles Bridge, and numerous churches and palaces, were built mostly in the 14th century, under the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles IV.

What do you like the most about India and why?

India is a second home for me. I spent in India 12 years of my life. I have many friends here and beautiful memories from different places, events, and occasions. India means a lot to me and I know that one day when I will have to leave India, I will miss India very much.
