The capital of the Czech Republic on the Moldau bank is worldwide known as the Golden City. On a walking tour up to the Praguer Castle on a sunny day you will discover why: The roofs of the city will shine golden.
You should plan a whole day for the visit of the Prague Castle as well as the castle periphery. Here you will see not only the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, which houses the Czech crown jewels but also the basilica of St. George, the Old Royal Palace and the Royal Summer Palace. The President of the Czech Republic has this very day his residence at Prague Castle.
The Old Town and the New Town of Prague are within walking distance from the castle. The Charles Bridge, one of the oldest stone bridges in Europe, which is only accessible for pedestrians, is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. We recommend you to book a sightseeing tour by ship.
The Old Town of Prague is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Old Town Square is located right in the centre of the Old Town and invites you to go shopping, stroll and spend your time in sightseeing. Fans of Marionettes, wooden toys, books or crystal artistry get their money worth. You should stop at the tower of Old Town Hall. The tower with its most impressive panorama over the Old Town is worth a visit and on the hour you can watch "The Walk of the Apostles" at the Prague Astronomical Clock.
