Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic. It is also the larges city of the nation. Referred to as the 'Heart of Europe' it is amongst the most fascinating places to see. The inner more historical sections of the city are the Hradcany, the Lesser Town and the Old Town both with their characteristic medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. The wonderful grandiose Cathedrals and picturesque towers can be seen from all around the city causing the city to be lent the name of 'The City of a Hundred Spires'
Its truly a very pretty city especially by night. The only thing that soured my visit was having my wallet stolen by Gypsies in Wenceles Square (they were very good!) only hours before I was due to leave Prague. My last minute shopping was curtailed but I must say that I met a wonderful Czech girl who heard me trying to communicate about the loss of my wallet, she walked me all around the city until we found a police station (that was open) and then translated for me in order for me to make my report. I regret I never got her name and details to thank her properly later. She was just a delight and my saving grace where communication was difficult.
- Pros:A Truly Beautiful City
- Cons:Watch your Wallet/Purses.

Wonderful page of the city. I recall my trip to Prague with a kind of deep nostalgia.
An amazing and very useful page. I really looking forward to seeing Prague. I am going in September.
Wonderful page! I really would like to visit it again. I've been here once as a teenager, hahaha, and at that time I had other things on my head ;-) Now I wish I had enjoyed Prague more :-) Aiks, sorry to hear you had your wallet stolen :-(
Really interesting and helpfull page of Prague! Thanks for information sharing! Raimundas
Nicely organized and depicted pages on Prague. I'll refer to them for my trip next month to Eastern Europe. Thanks for the trip preparation.
wonderful pages on prague and everywhere else for that matter.. Provided me with some excellent tips on what to do when in Prague in July... Thanx again. Rafik
I like Prague best when its rooftops, statues and streets are covered with snow.
The suburbs of Prague are too big and too ugly! Prague is not beautiful everywhere and particularly this city is very small!
