Travel Guide to Prague, Czech Republic

Scenic spot introduction:

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is known as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The city is located in the Bohemia region in the central and western part of the European continent. The Vltava River winds through the city. The ancient tower buildings with spires or domes in the city, whether Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, or Renaissance, are all well preserved. The tops of the buildings are particularly varied and the colors are extremely gorgeous (red tiles and yellow walls), so it has the beautiful names of "City of a Thousand Towers" and "Golden Prague".

Attractions distribution:

Prague was the political center of the Czech Kingdom more than 1,000 years ago. It has a history of more than 700 years since it became the first royal city of the Czech dynasty in the 13th century. From the 13th to the 15th century, it was an important economic, political and cultural center in Central Europe. The city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with many historical sites and more than 2,000 historical relics under national key protection. In almost every street and alley in the old city, you can find various forms of buildings since the 13th century, such as the famous St. Vitus Church built in 1344, the Charles Bridge on the Vltava River built in 1357 with numerous statues and incomparable artistic value, the Charles University, the oldest institution of higher learning in Central Europe built in 1348, and the magnificent Prague Palace and the historic National Theater. Some remote and quiet streets in the old city still retain their medieval appearance. The streets are paved with stones, the street lights are ancient gas lamps, and many houses have religious murals. With the development of urban transportation, many streets in the old city have become too narrow and only cars and trams are allowed to pass in one lane.
