The Marionette (Puppet) & The Black Light Theaters The Marionette or Puppet theatre enjoys a long tradition in popular entertainment in Prague and around the Czech Republic. The master puppeteers’ creations are true gems of artistic craftsmanship. The National Marionette Theatre presents the finest puppet shows in the country. Performances include puppet versions of Mozart’s famous “Opera of operas”, Don Giovanni, and the enchanting story of the Magic Flute. Both are extraordinary productions, employing very tall puppets clothed in period costumes, set against 18th century stage sets. The story is recounted visually, with little or no spoken words. This makes the shows ideal for an international audience, of both adults and children. The Black Light Theater or simply Black Theater is a per- formance characterized by the use of black box theatre augmented by black light illusion. The distinctive characteristics of “The black theatre” are the use of black curtains, a darkened stage, and “black lighting” (UV light), paired with fluorescent costumes in order to create intricate visual illusions. The technique, paired with the expressive artistry of dance, mime and acrobatics of the performers is able to create remarkable spectacles. The Black Theater is known throughout the Czech Republic, and many Czechs usually want to bring their families to a show at least once. This ensures a mixed audience of Czech people and tourists.

Budapest, a famous “City of Spas” One of the reasons the Romans first colonized the area and established their regional capital at Aquincum (now in northern Budapest) is so that they could enjoy the thermal springs. The new baths that were constructed during the Turkish period (1541–1686) served both for bathing and medicinal purposes, and some of these are still in use to this day. Budapest gained its reputation as a “City of Spas” in the 1920s, following the first realization of the economic potential of the thermal waters. Construction of the Király Baths started in 1565, and most of the present-day building dates from the Turkish period. The are centrally placed and also an outstanding example of architecture during Turkish period. The prestigious Gellért Baths and Hotel (1918) have a well-preserved Art Nouveau interior including colourful mosaics, marble columns, stained glass windows and statues. The Lukács Baths are also in Buda and are also Turkish in origin. The Széchenyi Baths (1913) are one of the largest bathing complexes in all Europe with 15 indoor pools, 3 outdoor pools and 10 saunas and steam chambers. There is an atmosphere of grandeur about the whole place with the largest pools resembling Roman baths and the smaller bath tubs reminding one of the bathing culture of the Greeks.

Vienna offers rich museums, major art galleries, beautiful palaces and imposing churches, as well as fine restaurants and charming cafes, all involved with romantic memories of the beautiful Sissi “, her most famous empress, which are still visible at every corner of the city. Furthermore, in no other place in the old continent have worked so many great musicians and composers, whose homes and studios have been converted into museums, and have earned Vienna the title “Music City”.

Vienna, the Romantic “City of Music” & the Empress Sisi The capital of Austria is regarded as the “City of Music” due to its very important musical legacy. Musical prodigies such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg have worked there. Art and culture had a long tradition in Vienna, including theatre, opera, classical music and fine arts. Vienna is also home to a number of opera houses, including the Theater an der Wien, the Staatsoper and the Volksoper, the latter being devoted to the typical Viennese operetta. The Vienna Hofburg is a must for anybody wanting to explore the world of the Habsburgs. You can visit the Imperial Treasury, holding the imperial jewels of the Habsburg dynasty. The Sisi Museum, devoted to Empress Elisa- beth of Austria (Sisi), conveys a complex image of Empress Elisabeth with numerous personal objects on display. Here as in no other place the legend of Sisi becomes tangible. At the Imperial Apartments visitors will gain an insight into the world of Austria’s most illustrious imperial couple. The 19 rooms of the apartments occupied by Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Elisabeth (Sisi), enclose studies, residential suites and reception rooms. The famous Imperial Silver Collection, which includes magnificent dining services, centrepieces measuring up to 30 metres in length and exquisite napery, give an impression of the lavish pomp of imperial banquets.

Discover the Prussian pomp and splendor, a heritage of great architects and scholars, and a focal point during the Cold War: Potsdam offers a breathtaking panorama of culture and history. 300 years ago, the garrison outpost of Potsdam was transfor- med into one of Europe’s most splendid royal cities. The Prussian kings, in particular Frederick William I and his son Frederick the Great, created a baroque dream in Potsdam and the surrounding area, to which their successors added great monuments to classicism. In 1990 the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam were awarded UNESCO World Heritage status – at that time still at the request of the two rival German states. The original site comprised the parks and palaces of Sanssouci, Neuer Garten, Babelsberg, Glienicke and Peacock Island. In 1992 the UNESCO site was extended to include Sacrow Palace and park and Sa- viour’s Church, while in 1999 another 14 monuments joined the list, including Lindstedt Palace and park, Belvedere Palace on Pfingstberg hill, Kaiserbahnhof station.

Introducing Munich GERMANY The third largest German city, Munich, is today’s capital of Bavaria State. Despite all its sophistication, Munich still retains a touch of provincialism that visitors find so charming. The city is an inspiring mix of historic buildings and impressive architecture where four grand royal avenues of the 19th century with magnificent official buildings connect the inner city with the suburbs. 3 Two large baroque palaces in Nymphenburg and Oberschleissheim are reminders of Bavaria’s royal past. During the Oktoberfest representatives of the entire planet arrive in town. In Munich, folklore and age-old traditions exist side by side with tidy BMWs, Munich designer boutiques and high-powered industry. Nearby you can discover the wonderful castles of King Ludwig II: the solid Ho- henschwangau, his boyhood home; the nearby and fanciful Neuschwanstein, his dream escape; and Linderhof, his final retreat.
