About Prague
Holding its own alongside the great capitals of Europe, Prague has become a popular city break destination for a wide range of people. Along with the city's many cultural and historical attractions, it is also a lively and contemporary spot with an extensive range of bars where visitors can get a feel for the local passion for pilsner. It’s also big on saunas, so don’t forget your cozzie!
Prague’s fascinating history can be uncovered through an abundance of museums and attractions on every corner. The Charles Bridge over the Vltava River connects the Old Town to Prague Castle, an enormous fortification which has been a seat of power for centuries. Here you’ll also find the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral from which you can get great views of the city.
If you fancy doing a bit of shopping, head to the souvenir shops of the Old Town for all sorts, from ten-a-penny trinkets to unique local handicrafts. The department stores on Na Příkopě around Wenceslas Square offer more shopping opportunities with international brands and luxury outlets. Make sure you explore the side streets around the square as it’s the best way to stumble across even more places to eat and drink, from grand historic cafes to trendy restaurants.
