Czech Philharmonic Concert Hall - Rudolfinum
The neo-renaissance Rudolfinum building was constructed in 1884 by the architects Joseph Zitek and Joseph Schulz, and it soon became the second important object of the national culture after the National Theatre. Behind the conductor’s stand, have stood such great composers as Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Grig, Kubelik and many others. Since 1946, the famous international music festival “Prague Spring” is regularly held in Rudolfinum.

Municipal House
The
Municipal House (Obecni Dum to the Czechs) is considered the finest example
of Art Nouveau architecture in Prague. The architects Antonin Balshanek
and Oswald Polivka built it in 1911. The lavish interiors, by masters
of the Czech Secession such as Ladislav Saloun and Alphons Mucha, were
entirely refurbished in the late 1990s and will take your breath away.
You can enjoy an expresso in the gorgeous café, or sample a traditional
Czech meal in the extravagantly appointed restaurant.
Obecni Dum’s spacious concert hall, named for the Czechs’
favorite composer, Bedrich Smetana, has the finest acoustics in Prague,
and offers a wide range of classical music concerts and other cultural
events.

Villa Bertramka
During the 18th century, Villa Bertramka was the country home of the Dušek family. Today it lies in the fast-growing Prague neighborhood of Smichov. Its fame rests on the fact that the Duseks were friends of the great composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Dušeks put the Maestro up during his 1787 and 1791 visits to Prague, and it was here, in Villa Bertramka’s idyllic setting, that Mozart finished the score to his opera, Don Giovanni. The Villa houses a museum dedicated to Mozart, and presents concerts of his Chamber music.

St Nicolas Church in Mala Strana
This church, the creation of father and son architects, Krystof and Kilian Ignacio Dienzenhofer, is considered the crown jewel of Czech Baroque architecture. The massive copper dome and the rich Baroque interiors have been immortalized by many Czech writers and poets. Kafka said of the dome, “…it’s a huge umbrella flying away…” Saint Nicholas regularly offers classical music concerts featuring the work of Mozart and Vivaldi.
