Prague Castle with St. Vitus Cathedral


Since the 9th century, the characteristic dominant of Prague has been a seat of Princes and Kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors and since 1918, the seat of Czech Presidents. The complex of ecclesiastical, fortification, residential and commercial buildings representing all architectural styles and periods is presently considered the biggest castle in the world. St. Vitus Cathedral is an excellent example of a gothic cathedral and the spiritual symbol of the Czech state, founded in 1344. The Cathedral has a crypt with tombs of Bohemian kings and it is also a place where coronation jewels are deposited.

Charles Bridge


The oldest bridge over Vltava river was built in the place of the Judita's Bridge which had been damaged by a flood. It was founded by Charles IV in 1357 and originally called “The Stone Bridge”. Since 1870 it is called Charles Bridge, it is 515 meters long and 10 meters wide. Thirty sculptures and sculptural groups of saints are situated on the bridge piers and both ends of Charles Bridge are fortified by towers.

Jewish Quarter Josefov


The present appearance is highly influenced by extensive rebuilding actions at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Only a few significant buildings were saved from the heritage of Prague Jews which has been built for many centuries. However, these buildings are the best preserved complex of Jewish historical monuments in the whole of Europe. It consists of the Old Jewish Cemetery and six synagogues, which are, except the Old-New Synagogue, part of the Jewish Museum.

Old Town Square


The historic Old Town Square is located between Wenceslas Square and Charles Bridge. Prague's Old Town Square is considered the historical “heart” of Prague. It features some sight-seeing gems of various architectural styles such as the gothic Church of our Lady before Týn, baroque St. Nicholas Church and the Prague Astronomical Clock, first installed on the Old Town Hall in 1410. A memorial of religious reformer Jan Hus, who was burned at the stake in Constance for his thoughts, is situated in the middle of Old Town Square.

Petřín View Tower


Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris and built in 1891, the 60 meter high steel framework tower is situated on Petřín hill and offers an unbeleivable view of the “hundered-spired” Prague.

Originally called “The Horse Market”, for its periodic accommodation of horse markets during the Middle Ages, Wenceslas Square is one of the main city squares and the centre of the business and cultural communities of modern Prague. It is also a place where many historical events occurred, and it is a traditional venue for demonstrations, celebrations, and other public happenings.
