Prague Czech Republic


 
Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, its nickname is the City of a Hundred Spires (as you can see here) It is a very walkable city so a savings on any tours your thinking about doing & in my opinion it is the best way to discover all those hidden gems of any area is to walk.
KeyTip : you pay in Czech Crowns instead of Euros so huge dollar value on the exchange rates plus plan on the free Museum Days & other attractions being offered at no cost    

If you like Old Town Europe style, this city is a must to visit


Love the Gothic Churches within the City

The workmanship is amazing

Some examples of the Art Nouveau Buildings

The City of Prague became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992

You do not need to be an architecture junkie like me to be in awe of this city



Doing a tour on the Vltava River
The interesting things you find when you explore on your own


 Did you know it was the Romans who first started using cobblestones in road building, eventually constructing over 80,000kms ( 50,000 miles ) of roads..... which indeed all lead to Rome 


Prague was voted the most beautiful city in the World by Time Out Magazine.
Speaking from experience (i have been to over 200 cities)  i agree 100%!


The City was founded in 1306 & now has a population of 1.3 million


Th city now attracts over 8 million tourists per year with sites to visit like the oldest University in Central Europe (Charles University) & has one of the largest castles in the World (Prague Castle takes over 18 acres of land)
