Prague

Prague is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world.  The historic centre of Prague is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.  Its exquisitely preserved historical centre is also known as the “Golden City” and the “City of a Hundred Spires”.

The city built along the meanders of the Vltava River and on the surrounding seven hills has always been and continues to be a thriving living city with an unusual number of theatres, galleries, museums and exhibitions.

Suggested Prague visits:

• Old Town Square – at the heart of the historical centre you will find the gothic spires of the Tyn Church that tower over the square and the Astronomical Clock
• The Jewish Quarter – known as Josefov, is located between the Old Town Square and the Vltava River.  Its history dates back to the 13th century when the Jewish community were ordered to vacate their homes and settle in one area
• Charles Bridge – a stone gothic bridge that connects the Old Town and Mala Shana.  Its construction was commissioned by Czech king and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in 1357
