Prague - the city of legends - is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, which for many centuries admires and does not cease to amaze !!!

The Old Town Square is the heart of the old town. On the one hand - the old town hall, on the other - Tyn Church.

Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock, the magnificent Church of the Virgin Mary in front of Tyn, the legendary Charles Bridge, Wenceslas Square, Karlova Street. ... Total and do not count!!!

It is the main temple of the medieval Old Town and one of the symbols of modern Prague. The Gothic cathedral was built in 1365. At first it was a modest building. Three hundred years later he was perfected and completed the tower.

St. Vitus Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and the dominant of the Prague Castle. Architects have conceived such a large-scale temple that it was almost 600 years to build it - then the wars were going on, then there was no money. They started in 1344 and finished only in 1929. A medieval long-term construction. The last built a western facade, decorated with rose-stained glass - more than 10 meters in diameter.

Prague Castle. Previously, it was a gloomy Gothic castle, from whose construction, in fact, the history of Prague began. In the 18th century the fortress was decided to be renewed. Lonely facades made by Italian Nicolo Picassi. He had to tear off his hands. In fact, behind the lining are buildings of different eras and styles. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the world's largest castle. Once there lived kings and emperors, now - the Czech president takes important guests.

Newlyweds are very fond of going to Prague for a honey holiday, and at the same time - to arrange photo sessions. Especially a lot of Chinese

Now there are 18 bridges in Prague. A hundred years ago there was only one - Charles. It connects two medieval towns - Stare Mesto and Malo Strana. It is one of the most beautiful Gothic bridges in the world.

If there is a river in the city, and there are pleasure boats on the river - you must always ride on them. From the water everything looks different - it's a good way to see architecture and city panoramas from an unusual perspective. No wonder the walk along the Vltava is in all tourist routes around Prague. Well, and, of course, I will show how the center of Prague looks from the Vltava.

Modern Prague tries to be no less interesting than the old one. Dancing house with a look of plain, but became one of the symbols of the city.

Prague penguins, according to the idea of the authors, march in protest against the irrational use of natural resources. Looking at them, people should remember that pollution of world waters threatens the life of marine life and threatens the existence of penguins.

In Prague everything is great. Initially, all urban architecture was gloomy and gothic. As in Olomouc and Cesky Krumlov, pompous buildings appeared in Prague only because the old ones were burnt or were destroyed during wars. Well, or because the owners wanted something new. Fashion changed, Gothic tired everyone and those who could afford to rebuild houses in the style of baroque, rococo or neoclassicism. But it is precisely the preserved Gothic architecture that gives Prague a unique mystical atmosphere.
