Narodni Ave and Theatre
We start at the footsteps of Most Legií, a historic bridge that crosses the Vltava River and connects the city center with the Smíchov district. It's one of the many iconic bridges in Prague and is known for its stunning architectural design and picturesque views of the river and the city.

The bridge was originally built between 1901 and 1908 and was named to honor the Czechoslovak legions who fought in World War I. It features Art Nouveau and Baroque Revival architectural elements, making it a unique and beautiful landmark in the city.

Most Legií is an important transportation route in Prague, connecting the historical and cultural center of the city with the area around the National Theatre and the Prague Castle complex. Its central location means it's often used by both pedestrians and vehicles.

Follow your navigation as we make our way down Narodni Avenue, also known as National Avenue.

Národní has played a significant role in the history of Czechoslovakia, particularly during the events of the Velvet Revolution in 1989. The Velvet Revolution was a non-violent uprising that led to the end of communist rule in Czechoslovakia. The street was a site of large-scale protests and demonstrations during this period, which eventually led to the downfall of the communist government.

Národní is also an important commercial and cultural hub in Prague. The street is lined with various shops, restaurants, theaters, and other establishments. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a mix of historical architecture and modern amenities. The avenue is also home to several important theaters and cultural institutions.

On our right is The Národní divadlo (National Theatre) one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic. It's a prominent historical building and a symbol of Czech national identity and cultural heritage. The idea for a national theatre in Prague emerged during the Czech National Revival in the 19th century, a period when the Czech nation sought to affirm its identity and culture. The foundation stone was laid in 1868, and the theatre was opened in 1881 with a performance of Bedřich Smetana's opera Libuše. Shortly after its opening, the theatre was heavily damaged by a fire. This event was a national tragedy, but it also galvanized public support. Funds were rapidly raised for its restoration, and the theatre reopened in 1883.

The original building was designed by architect Josef Zítek. After the fire, the reconstruction was led by Josef Schulz, who preserved the Neo-Renaissance style. The interior features rich decorations, including paintings, sculptures, and frescoes by leading Czech artists of the time, such as Mikoláš Aleš, František Ženíšek, and Vojtěch Hynais, whose curtain painting is particularly famous.

The theatre is noted for its richly decorated façade and interior, showcasing elements of Czech art and symbolism. The building's distinctive gold-topped roof and the majestic allegorical statue of Apollo and the Muses are iconic.

The Národní divadlo is a key venue for drama, opera, and ballet. It has played a vital role in the cultural and national life of the Czech people, hosting premieres of works by important Czech composers and playwrights. It remains a central institution in Czech culture, attracting both local audiences and international visitors.

The museum provides a deep dive into the history of Lego, from its early beginnings as wooden toys in the 1930s to the development of the first plastic Lego bricks in the 1950s. Vintage sets from different eras are displayed, showing how the designs have evolved over the decades.

In addition to the exhibits, the museum offers interactive areas where visitors can build their own Lego creations. This hands-on experience is a favorite among children and encourages creativity.
