THE CONGRESS LOCATION
Prague
Prague, the "hundred-spired city", has enjoyed an exhilarating cultural renaissance in the years since the old Communist regime collapsed in 1989. Amid cobblestone streets and gold-tip spires, new galleries, cafés, and clubs teem with young Czechs and members of the city's colony of "expatriates." New shops and, perhaps most noticeably, scads of new restaurants have opened, expanding the city's culinary reach far beyond the traditional roast pork and dumplings. All of this frenetic activity plays well against a stunning backdrop of towering churches and centuries-old bridges and alleyways.LANGUAGE
