Prague is as charming now as it was centuries ago. History comes alive as you explore the narrow, medieval cobbled streets and ornate Baroque facades around Staromestske Namesti (Old Town Square). Wander along the restored elegance of Mala Strana's (Lesser Town) tranquil streets, squares and arcaded buildings where Mozart and Kafka once trod.
Spanning the river between the two quarters is the impressive 14th century Charles Bridge. Join the crowds of busy pedestrians, artists, puppeteers and musicians, ever present on the bridge. Take in the views of monuments and statues up and down the river. Above it all, dominating the skyline, the massive 1100 year old castle looks down on the stunning panorama of a fascinating city, swept along by the winds of change and yet so wonderfully unspoiled.
Prague has now become one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. Its traditional pubs and eateries have been augmented by a wave of gourmet restaurants, cocktail bars and trendy cafes - but you can still feast on pork and dumplings washed down with a beer!
