Prague

With its tapered roofs, ancient castles and cathedrals, sprawling gardens, quaint towns and picturesque bridges, the city of Prague has become known as a "golden city."

This Czech Republic capital is a favorite destination, which is visited by hundreds of tourists from the world over. The city is populated with local Czechs, Jewish and German citizens.

The ‘dark history’ of the city when it was occupied by Nazis in 1939 stirs the curiosity of travelers from different countries, but it further adds to the mystery of the place. Prague has kept its original buildings and architecture despite the destruction brought about by World War I and II. Thus, it has become one of Europe’s most popular tourist spots.

Whether you are a backpacker out on a European adventure with your friends, or a professional jetsetter, make sure that you will not miss these world famous spots while you are in Prague:

Any tourist worth his salt cannot find fault in the lovely little shops, cafes, and galleries scattered within the breadth of Prague’s Old Town Square. From the tenth century to the present time, this colorful place has been considered as the heart of the city.

Your visit to Prague will not be complete without visiting the world’s largest castle. Prague is otherwise known as the city of spires because of the tapered roofs that can be seen on the magnificent buildings surrounding the castle.


Just like the world famous San Francisco Bridge in the United States, Charles Bridge in Prague is one of the must-sees in the city. The bridge is home to thousands of visitors, artists and residents, set amid a background of the magnificent Prague Castle.

You also cannot resist the temptation of other places to visit like the Prague Zoo, St. Vitus Tower, the Lobkowicz and Sternberg Palace, and other shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes in the city.

If you are a lover of old movies or historical novels, visiting Prague is like a step back in time, literally, as the structures and architecture of this precious city have witnessed the darkest - and greatest - moments in European history.
