One of the most popular tourist destinations in the
world, Prague has been the heart of the Czech Republic for well over a millennium.
With
a population of about 1.2 million, Prague is wonderfully manageable, amenable
to pedestrians and incredibly scenic. For culture, sophistication and
nightlife, the Czech capital has inordinate appeal.

| The view of Prague Castle |
One of the most popular tourist attractions is the
Prague Castle. This vast complex includes palaces, a church, a monastery,
museums and art galleries, viewing towers and the supreme St. Vitus Cathedral.
This
fairy tale castle on a hill overlooking the Vltava River is the most popular
sight in the city, reflecting the city's "Bohemian Baroque"
architecture.

| The unique Dancing House |
Have you seen Prague’s Dancing House? Dancing House
cuts a fine figure alongside the river, a strikingly modern contrast to the
historic Prague attractions. On the top floor of Dancing House is Celeste, one
of Prague's leading restaurants, offering fine French cuisine and magnificent
city views. The architecture is so unique you wouldn’t want to miss it if you
go to Prague.
 |
| The Observation Tower on Petrin Hill |
From many parts of Prague, you can see this small
version of the Eiffel Tower silhouetted against the horizon. For the best views
of Prague's many sights and attractions, climb to the top of the Observation
Tower on Petrin hill. The magnificent panoramic vista of Prague is well worth
the 299 steps.
Other popular attractions in Prague are the Royal
Garden, the Charles Bridge, Prague’s National Museum, the Vysehrad Castle, the
Wenceslas Square, and many more.
