Prague, Czech Republic
Prague, is a city of stunning physical beauty. The capitals of many other European nations were flattened or heavily damaged during World War II, but Prague survived intact.
Old Town Square
The heart of Prague and the traditional marketplace since medieval times. Brightly colored baroque, Gothic and Renaissance buildings surround the square. Its highlights include the Astronomical Clock, the Old Town Hall, the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn and the Church of St. Nicholas. You can climb the Old Town Hall's tower for an excellent view. Take the elevator to the third floor and then walk the ramps to get to the top.
Charles Bridge
Broad Charles Bridge (usually listed as Karluv Most on maps) was started in 1357 and was later lined with the figures of saints. Connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town (Mala Strana) and the Prague Castle, the tourist-thronged bridge affords great views of the city and river. Visit in early morning or late evening to avoid some of the crowds as well as the vendors and craftsmen peddling their wares on spring and summer day.
Dancing House Hotel
This pillar of modern architecture in Prague “danced” onto the Rašínovo Embankment in 1996. The project comes from the drawing board of world-renowned architects Vlado Milunić and Frank O. Gehry. Its concept was inspired by the dance skills of the famous film couple – the stone tower symbolizes Fred Astaire and the glass tower, his partner Ginger Rogers. A gallery and a restaurant with a terrace offering a 360° view of Prague can be visited in the Dancing House.
