Old Town Square
Where is the true center of Prahy (Prague)? The answer is at the Old Town Square. The winding old town streets leading to Prague's most beautiful square converge here. Equipped with the world-famous orlojem (astronomical clock) on the Town Hall Tower, the Týn Church, the majestic kostel sv. Mikuláše (St. Nicholas Church), and countless colorful buildings, this place becomes a unique attraction that leaves all visitors in awe of its unique charm.
Prague Jewish Quarter
Few cities in Europe can compare to the perfectly preserved Jewish Quarter of Prague. Here, you will find six synagogues, the Jewish Town Hall, the Jewish Cemetery, and the unique and magical home of a genius ethnic group. All these elements make up the Josefov district of Prague, a place you absolutely should not miss when visiting this golden city. Discover and learn about the turbulent history of Prague's Jews, their architecture, traditions, customs, and stories, which belong to the most tragic era of the 20th century.
Charles Bridge
Charles Bridge has always been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists, photographers, and poets, whose works invariably reflect their respect for this bridge. The first rays of dawn shine on the cold cobblestones, and as the sun gradually illuminates the earth, the majestic Gothic bridge towers at both ends of the bridge reflect each other, creating a uniquely romantic scene. The silhouette of Prague Castle is clearly visible in the distance, and the Baroque sculptures on the bridge railings on both sides are lifelike. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
Vyšehrad
Established on the basis of ancient legends and myths, this Czech historical monument is the residence of the legendary Duke Premysl of the Czech Republic; the final resting place of the greatest Czech artists, and one of the symbols of the founding of the Czech nation. This mythical large 'high castle' is situated on a high rock, forming the most distinctive silhouette in the southern part of Prague, with its slender dark spires overlooking the Vltava River.
This is an overall art with intricate details, beautiful natural ornaments, and finely crafted everyday items. The so-called Art Nouveau style—a new fashion at the turn of the century—swept the entire world. It was reflected not only in art but also in fashion and daily life. Let's return to that magical era, in front of a magnificent town hall, back to the century of steam. The People's Palace is astonishing in its scale and unique preservation. Under the roof of this Art Deco treasure, in the Smetana Hall, you can hear the music of Dvořák and Mozart, not only allowing your eyes to enjoy the beauty but also sharing this beauty with your other senses.
