Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic, bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Prague's bid was considered a trial bid to warm up for future Olympic campaigns. Prague's bid came to an end on 4 June 2008, when it failed to make the Candidate city shortlist.

After initial enthusiasm, Prague's bid became troubled, and the city considered canceling their bid. Nevertheless, the government went forward with its bid to become an applicant city on 14 January 2008.

If it had been chosen, Prague would have staged the Games between 29 July and 14 August.[2] The subsequent Paralympics were to be held between 1 and 13 September.
