Prague Congress Centre is one of the dominant points of the City of Prague. Its range of conference, banquet and exhibition areas, including the assurance of accompanying services, makes it one of the largest and most comprehensive suppliers of these services and not only on the Czech market. The high technical quality, variability of internal areas and the exclusive view from the congress foyers and neighbouring halls makes this modern complex one of the most sought after congress localities. The fact that it is located in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe also undoubtedly contributes to this. The pride of the Prague Congress Centre is the Congress Hall, which due to its excellent acoustics is one of the thirteen best concert halls in the world. Its parameters are comparable to London’s Royal Albert Hall, Montreal’s Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier and Boston’s Symphony Hall. Website in Czech and English.
