Prague - THE COMPLETE TRAVELLER'S GUIDE

Prague

THE COMPLETE TRAVELLER'S GUIDE

Prague — Praha in Czech — is one of Europe's most beguiling cities. Straddling the Vltava River in the heart of Bohemia, the Czech capital has spent seven centuries accumulating one of the most extraordinary architectural collections on the continent. Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces, Art Nouveau apartment blocks, and Cubist buildings stand shoulder to shoulder, their reflections shimmering in the river below. Miraculously, this 'city of a hundred spires' survived both World War II and the worst excesses of Soviet-era development largely intact, meaning today's visitor walks through a living museum of European history.
