Prague has much to offer visitors interested in castles, cathedrals, and culture. Nicknamed the city of a thousand spires for its many domed churches, fine architecture is found almost everywhere in the city. Examples of Gothic, baroque, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau dot the city and provide a dramatic contrast to the sturdy and ancient Prague
Castle.
Prague escaped the bombing raids of WWII and as a result has one of the best preserved city centers in all of Europe. Narrow laneways opening up onto spectacular plazas leave one with a sense of wonder of what will be lurking around the next corner. Also of note is the world famous Charles Bridge over the Vltava River providing amazing views of both sides of the city. The Charles Bride has recently undergone some construction but is almost always accessible to tourists.
Prague has a special feel that embraces the visitor. As you wander into a church you can't help but be amazed that you are standing in the same spot where Mozart first debuted one of his most famous symphonies. History is everywhere in Prague.
