Prague is a picturesque city with a well preserved historic centre. There are buildings here by Adolf Loos, Steven Holl (design interior – a reconstruction), Eva Jiricna and Frank Gehry. Some 200 km to the south-east (in Brno) is a classic building by Mies van der Rohe, one of his best works – Villa Tugendhat. There are some intriguing Cubist buildings dotted around the city and an enclave of Modernist buildings to the west.
