Prague was a the capital city of a country[1] in the Bohemia region of Europe in Lyra's world.[2] The first alethiometer was constructed in Prague during the reign of King Rudolf II.[3]

Later, Lyra met an alchemist in Prague.[4] There was a steamboat that sailed between here and Hamburg which Olivier Bonneville boarded when trying to find Pantalaimon.[5]

In Prague there was a junction of the Central European Railway Company. At this junction, lines of one gauge went north and east towards Kiev and Muscovy respectively, while another went south through Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria towards Constantinople.[2]

Prague sat next to the river Vltava, across from the Malá Strana.[2]
