Tyn Cathedral
The first church stood as early as 1135, but the foundations of the present day church were laid two hundred years later.-

La primera iglesia data 1135, pero la que actualmente está data de 200 años más tarde. Los dos torres no son simétricas. Esto era característico de la arquitectura gótica, que intentaba representar a los lados masculinos y femeninos del mundo

Wenceslas' Square
Wenceslas Square is a very broad and hilly commercial center of Prague lined with expensive, western influenced shops and restaurants, but it is a place full of history that is not to be missed during your visit to Prague.
The boulevard running through the middle of the square originates from the Charles IV period (over 600 years ago) when it was used as a horse market.
On the top of the hill and centered on the boulevard is the domed National Museum.
This pedestrian boulevard is Prague's main commercial area. The beautiful landscaping and plenty of benches along the boulevard also make this a great place to rest and people watch.
Address: Vaclavske namesti
Directions: Metro line C station Narodni muzeum or line A station Mustek.

Golden Lane
The Golden Lane, one of the more picturesque streets, named after the goldsmiths who lived here in the 17th century. The tiny, brightly painted houses that line only one side were built in the late 1500s for castle guards. A century later, the goldsmiths moved in. Franz Kafka once lived in No. 22.
In the lane you can enjoy the many shops that occupy the picturesque houses today - and you can also enjoy a wonderful view of the city from a point which you reach via the stairs at the eastern end of the lane.-
La Callejuela de Oro, una de las calles más pintorescas de Praga, fue nombrada de esa manera, porque allí vivieron los orfebres del palacio, en el Siglo XVII. Esta angosta callecita, con casas brillantemente pintadas y construídas solo de un lado de la calle, fueron construídas al final de los años 1500 por los guardias del castillo. Un siglo después los orfebres se mudaron allí. Franz Kafka vivió un tiempo en el número 22.
En la callejuela hay muchos negocios que ocupan las pintorescas casitas y se puede disfrutar de una bella vista de la ciudad desde un mirador, que se encuentra siguiendo las escaleras, al final, lado este de la calle
