TOURS
PRAGUEPrague is without doubt the tourist magnet of the Central European region, not only for its historical significance as an imperial residency of the Holy Roman Emperor and for its wealth of architecture of all types and periods, but even more so for being the capital of one of the nations which emerged from isolation and oppression in 1989 trough its peaceful and inspiring "Velvet Revolution". And this is what is a must to see for every visitor: PRAGUE CASTLEDominating the whole of the city, beautiful and imposing, one of the most impressive and largest of its type in the world. OLD TOWNThe huge historical nucleus of City of Prague - the Old Town is offering rare delights and a flavour of mysterious medieval atmosphere. CHARLES BRIDGECertainly a must for every visitor to Prague, this stone statue-flanked bridge connects the Old town and the Lesser Quarter. Visited at day or night , it offers splendid views of the castle and the National Theatre. JEWISH GHETTOThis former ghetto is filled with legends such as that of the Golem and the Rabbi Loew who created him, but moreover it shows the ingenuity, genius and suffering of the people who lived there and were very much a part of the history and culture of Prague up to World War II. It is now possible to witness the re-emergence of Jewish life in Prague after the horrors of the Holocaust and the persecution by the communists. LITTLE QUARTERThis is the area of the city most often rendered in paintings and photographs. It is filled with palaces, cathedrals, monasteries and gardens. Its cafés and pubs provide the prefect atmosphere for enjoying its many dazzling sights. |
