Hi everyone!
Most of you know that I love promoting my beautiful homeland, the Czech Republic, and its spectacular capital city, the city of Prague.
With that said, I was really pleased to read in the news today that tourism keeps flourishing in Prague. Last year, the Czech metropolis was visited by whooping 7.65 million visitors (both domestic and international), more than ever before.

I was also happy to find out that a vast majority of those visits (6.55 million, to be precise) were made by tourists from other countries.
As for the percentage of visits by individual nations, the rank remains unchanged with most international tourists visiting Prague coming from Germany, United States, Great Britain, Italy and Russia. However, this rank might change soon as there is an increasing interest in Prague among tourists from China, South Korea, India, Taiwan and several other Asian countries.
