Where music and beauty meet.
If you've ever wanted to introduce someone to stunning architectural styles, you take them to the Rudolfinum in all its neo-renaissance glory, sitting on the bank of the Vltava River. The building was inaugurated in the late 19th century, and currently houses the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. This gem of architecture leaves an impression at first sight: from its many arched glass windows and sculptures sitting on the curved roof to the grandiose interior, you're bound to be captivated. You can find almost a thousand rooms here, if you're brave enough to explore them all! With excellent acoustics and stunning venue, it's no wonder that it is renowned.
Art lovers (of the visual sort), fear not! You can delight in the Galerie Rudolfinum, an art gallery that celebrates contemporary art, housed within this very building. Let it not be said that the gallery is any less than a musical performance, for there have been exhibitions here by famous artists like Cindy Sherman and Gottfried Helnwein. With so much to do, see and hear (of course), you definitely can’t pass up on a visit to the Rudolfinum while in Prague.
