Prague has been called 'the Rome of the North'--and rightly so. Rome was built on seven hills, and Prague was built on nine hills: Letna, Vitkov, Opys, Vetrov, Skalka, Emauzy, Vysehrad, Karlov and the highest of all, Petrin. The mountains, forests and lakes surrounding Prague are enchanting and ideal for outdoor holidays as well as winter sports.

Mozart may have been from Austria, but Prague gave him his greatest successes as a composer, and was the city closest to his heart. On the many times he visited, the composer often stayed at this villa owned by the Dusavek family. Now a museum, it contains displays with his written work and his harpsichord

There's also a lock of Mozart's hair, encased in a cube of glass. Much of the Bertramka villa was destroyed by fire in the 1870s--but Mozart's rooms, where he finished composing the opera Don Giovanni, have miraculously remained untouched.

Chamber concerts are often held here, usually starting at 5 PM. Tickets are available on site or at the Prague Information Service.
