Prague in the 1990s was a city in transition, re𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 from decades of communist rule into a vibrant center of culture, tourism, and democracy. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989 and the peaceful split of Czechoslovakia in 1993, Prague emerged as the capital of the newly independent Czech Republic.
The city’s rich architectural heritage—Gothic spires, Baroque churches, and Art Nouveau facades—drew growing numbers of international visitors. At the same time, a youthful energy transformed its streets: cafés, clubs, and galleries flourished, while local artists and entrepreneurs began shaping a new cultural identity.
The decade marked a blending of old-world charm and post-communist renewal, making Prague one of Europe’s most captivating capitals of the era. These fascinating photos, uncovered by David Pirmann, offer a glimpse into the streets of Prague in 1995.
