Falling in love with Prague

Prague was one of the most beautiful,charming and colorful European cities since the middle Ages and has had many nicknames as "City of 100 towers", "Heart of the Europe" or "Golden Prague". It was a crossroad, where many merchant, artists and scientists met. Some of them were Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, British Queen Elisabeth II, Pope John Paul II and many others. 

This magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, has been mirrored in the surface of the swan-filled Vltava River for more than ten centuries. Prague's medieval centre remains a wonderful mixture of cobbled lanes, walled courtyards, cathedrals and countless church spires all in the shadow of her majestic 9th century castle, the biggest ancient castle in the world with an area of 45 hectares. 

Prague is also a modern and vibrant city full of energy, music, cultural art, fine dining and special events catering to the independent traveller's thirst for adventure. 

Everywhere you look there’s a first class restaurant. If you are yet to discover the charm of dumplings with roast pork and sauerkraut or sirloin in a creamy vegetable sauce with six dumplings, now’s the time to do so! Not to mention that golden national treasure – THE BEER! It is the best in Europe! 

Do not Miss in Prague

St. Vitus Cathedral
Located within the walls of Prague Castle, St. Vitus is a gothic cathedral that contains the tombs of many of the Bohemian Kings and Holy Roman Emperors. One of the most unique aspects of this cathedral is that some of the stained glass windows were designed in the Art Nouveau style by Alphonse Mucha. If you visit the cathedral at the right time of day, you’ll find that the light streaming in through the stained glass lights up the surrounding walls which are covered in tiny mosaics. It truly is a sight to behold.
Charles Bridge
Another classic spot in Prague – Charles Bridge, or Karluv Most in Czech. IF you’ve seen postcards from Prague, you have probably seen the view here. The bridge is built in the 14th century by Kaiser Karl IV, and it’s about 520 metres long.
Along the bridge you can also see some beautiful sculptures that was finished in the 1700s-1800s.
Prague Castle
The largest ancient castle in the world, as well as one of the most gorgeous, Prague Castle has been home to all the different Czech heads of state ever since the 9th century.
Charles Bridge
600 years old, Charles Bridge is one of Prague's most iconic landmarks. Beautifully decorated with rows of 30 baroque-style statues, it's a perfect spot for a romantic stroll.
Vltava River
The Vltava River cuts across Prague's centre. Jump aboard one of the many tour boats and take in the wonderful sights on both sides of the river while sipping a delicious Czech beer.
The Dancing house
A building with a new and modern styled architecture that has gotten big attention in social media. But despite that, not everyone who visit Prage knows about this incredible building. If you like unique buildings, then this is a great place to visit in Prague!

Old Town Square is a popular spot in Prague, with travelers flocking here in droves for its beautiful architecture, colorful history and vibrant atmosphere. The square hasn't changed much since it was established in the 12th century when it functioned as the city's original marketplace.
The square is home to some of the most historic attractions in the city, including the Old Town Hall, one of the best places to get a bird's-eye view of the city and the Prague Astronomical Clock, a beautiful timepiece dating back to the 1400s. The newest additions to the square include a monument erected in 1915 for the religious reformer Jan Hus. There are also several restaurants here that spill out onto the square during the warmer months as locals and travelers alike enjoy a coffee or a beer on the patios.
