Prague is one of the most beautiful capitals in Europe. For more than one century it has been attracting tourists from all over the world with its mystery and grandeur. It simply cannot be otherwise, because even the name of the Czech capital means “threshold to the stars”. There are many amazing places in this city. Having visited Prague, you will be captivated overnight by its enchanting atmosphere, which seems to be permeated with threads of romance and love.
The capital of the Czech Republic captivates its guests with the coziness of medieval cobbled streets and bridges, lovely houses with red tiled roofs, the mystery of ancient castles in the Gothic style, the grandeur of numerous spiers supporting the sky. To all this, it is worth adding an abundance of interesting museums and galleries. You can start your walk through the fascinating places of Prague from the Old Town Square or from the Prague Castle. These places are considered the visiting cards of the city. Prague Castle is the historical heart of the Czech capital and the pride of its inhabitants. This is a unique architectural ensemble that consists of many galleries and gardens, palaces, various buildings and courtyards. He, despite his rather venerable age, is still magnificent. At the front gate of the Castle there is a changing of the guard every hour. At noon, this ceremony takes place to the sound of fanfare. Old Town Square is located in the Old Town - this is the name of one of the districts of modern Prague, where the oldest cultural and architectural monuments of Czech history are located. In the depths of the square, there is a monument to the reformer Jan Hus, who was burned at the stake for heresy in the 15th century. The buildings of the Old Town Square are a successful collage of architectural styles. Here, Gothic buildings follow Cubist and Baroque buildings. The Baroque Church, St. Mary's Cathedral, the Town Hall - everything here has a solemn look. During the day, the square is always filled with tourists who come to admire the beauty over which time has no control. Your visit to Zlata Prague will be incomplete if you do not walk along the Charles Bridge. Its both ends are crowned with towers, and there are three dozen Baroque statues of saints and sculptural compositions from the 18th century. It is always bustling here thanks to artists, street musicians, souvenir sellers and numerous tourists. Another great place is Petřín Mountain. This is not the only or even the tallest mountain in the city, but it is definitely the most famous. You can get to it by cable car. At the very top of the hill there is an observation tower - a miniature copy of the Eiffel tower. However, the mountain is most famous for its amazing gardens, each of which has its own history. If you are a fan of Franz Kafka's talent, visit the museum dedicated to the work of this great Czech writer. You should definitely get to the local wax museum, where you can see the figures of popular figures of world culture and politics. It would be a real crime to visit Prague and not visit local pubs. Czechs are proud of their foamy drink. Be sure to check out the Prague taverns. Just do it on an empty stomach, as the portions are impressive. There you can taste duck with potato dumplings, rabbit goulash, pickled sausages.
