Explore Prague

By:


Prague is located on the River Vltava in central Bohemia and is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. The city its self has an estimated population of around 1.9 million.
Since 1992 Prague has been known as an historic centre and has even been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Over the years Prague has been given many nicknames including "the mother of cities", "city of a hundred spires" and "the golden city".
Prague has now officially been named the sixth most-visited European city by tourists after London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Berlin. With so many attractions in Prague it is not hard to see why. As Prague was damaged considerably less than other places during the world war it has been able to keep hold of more of its historic architecture.
Some of the most popular places for tourists to visit are the Old Town which is home to its original Old Town Square. Other places are the Astronomical Clock, the Charles Bridge, the New Town, the Lennon Wall, the National Museum and Prague Castle which is the largest castle in the world.
Many of these places are for those tourists who like to take in the local scenery rather than those who are looking for thrills. Prague is essentially on of the cultural centres of Europe and is home to many Museums, Libraries and Festivals that are available all year around.
The weather in Prague is very much like here in the UK, cold in the winters but warm in the summer but on average keeping higher temperatures throughout the year.
Transport links within Prague are good but if you are getting a taxi you need to be careful. There are some taxis that are privately owned and will charge you a fortune for the smallest of trips.
