Its stunning architecture showcases various styles from Gothic to Baroque, with highlights including St. Vitus Cathedral and the picturesque Golden Lane that transports you through time. As we explore its grounds, you'll feel the weight of centuries as this castle has been home to kings, emperors, and presidents alike.
The Charles Bridge stands as an iconic connection between Prague's Old Town and Lesser Town since its completion in 1402; it’s adorned with 30 statues that tell stories of saints and historical figures. This pedestrian bridge offers breathtaking views over the Vltava River while serving as a vibrant hub for artists, musicians, and vendors who bring life to its cobblestone path. Walking across it feels like stepping into a living gallery where every corner reveals something new about Prague's rich artistic heritage.
Old Town Square is truly at the heart of Prague’s charm; surrounded by colorful baroque buildings and historic landmarks such as the Astronomical Clock which dates back to 1410. The square has witnessed significant events throughout history—from royal ceremonies to public gatherings—making it a vital part of local identity today.
