A Little History
Six words or six centuries — the story first.
Opened in 1885 and home of the Czech Philharmonic, the Rudolfinum is Prague's temple of music. The square before it is named for Jan Palach, and the river terrace behind looks straight at the castle.
Why It's Romantic
The atmosphere you're proposing into.
Columns, statues of composers, wide stone stairs — it feels like proposing inside a symphony. The square is strangely calm even in high season, and the riverside behind is calmer still.
