"Prague is amazing!" a Prague Travel Page by kris-t

Prague's prime attraction is its physical face. The city centre is a haphazard museum of 900 years' of architecture - Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, 19th-century revivals of all of them, and Art Nouveau - amazingly undisturbed by the 20th century. This historical core of the city - Hradcany (the Castle District) and Mala Strana (the Small Quarter) west of the river, Stare Mesto (the Old Town) and Vaclavske namesti (Wenceslas Square) to the east, and Charles Bridge in between - covers about 3 sq km and is pedestrian-friendly, so you needn't go at break-neck speed to discover its most famous attractions

You'll have to travel further afield to visit Novoe Mesto (New Town), with its shops, cafes, museums and theatres; Vysehrad, where mythical Prague was born; and Holesovice, Smichov,Troja and Vinohrady. At least a dozen medieval chateaux and castles are only a day-trip away

This Gothic cathedral, the spiritual symbol of the Czech state, was founded by Jan Lucembursky (John of Luxembourg) and his sons Karel and Jan Jindrich.
It took nearly six centuries to build. Begun in 1344 by Mathias Arras and Petr Parler upon the site of a 10th century rotunda, the final phase of construction only ended during 1873-1929.
The cathedral contains underground tombs of Czech kings.
Parler also built St Wenceslas Chapel where the coronation jewels are deposited. The chapel is decorated with frescoes and semi-precious stones.
