The audio guide was launched as part of the initiative of First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, Ukrinform reports, referring to the presidential press service.
“Due to audio guides, we open new cultural sites around the world for Ukrainians, and give those who want to learn our language the opportunity to hear it. We continue to expand our borders!” Olena Zelenska stressed.
According to the President’s Office, Prague Castle was founded around the year 880 by Prince Bořivoj of the Premyslid Dynasty. Since then, it has served as the residence of the Czech rulers, and since 1918 – the country’s presidents.
