  • A national cultural monument, the symbol of more than millennial development of the Czech state. Since its foundation in the last quarter of the 9th century it has been developing throughout the past eleven centuries. It is a monumental complex of ecclesiastical, fortification, residential and office buildings representing all architectural styles and periods, surrounding three castle courtyards and covering 45 hectares. Originally it used to be the residence of princes and kings of Behemia, since 1918 it is the seat of the President.

    Lots of interesting things and different trophies, also a big screen showing the most exciting moments of the game and a small football field where they show black and white videos of old games.

  • The oldest Prague bridge built in the place of the Judita's Bridge that had been badly damaged by a flood in 1342. The Stone or Prague Bridge, was founded by Charles IV in the year 1357. By the latest researches the construction was started by Master Otto and finished by Peter Parler in 1402. Both ends of the bridge are fortified by towers (the Lesser Town Bridge Towers, the Old Town Bridge Tower). From 1683 to 1928 thirty sculptures and sculptural groups of the saints were gradually set on the bridge piers. The bridge is 515 meters long and 10 meters wide.

    Charles Bridge: The Legend...

  • There is a legend, a very special one and it'd be really cool if somebody told it to you completely.
    I'll just say that you should make a wish and touch a figure of the woman shown there, not the dog that is also shiny=). Just because in summer there are lots of tourists, so not everybody is able to touch the woman and they touch the dog, that's how it became shiny as well.
