The City of More Than 500 Spires
Contrary to its nickname, Prague is adorned with over 500 spires, featuring landmarks like the iconic Prague Castle and the grand St Nicholas Cathedral. The city showcases a diverse range of architectural styles spanning from Renaissance and Baroque to Cubist and Art Nouveau, creating a skyline punctuated by soaring peaks. For breathtaking views, ascend the 299 steps to the summit of the Petrin lookout tower, offering a panoramic vista of the city.
Old and New in Harmony
Prague effortlessly balances the old and the new, boasting squares in both the old and new towns. The Old Town Square is graced by an 80-meter-high church and the world's third-oldest astronomical clock. Wenceslas Square, located in the new town, hosts the National Museum, the statue of St Wenceslas, and a myriad of shops, cafes, and nightclubs.
Haven for Artists
With a rich history spanning over 800 years, Prague has deep roots in art and culture. Amid classic paintings in venues like St Agnes’ Convent, the city's streets showcase abundant street art. Notable among them is the John Lennon Wall, Prague's response to Berlin, adorned with Beatles lyrics that invite exploration along its length.
The Jewish Quarter
Nestled between the Vltava River and the Old Town Square, Prague's Jewish Quarter, known as Josefov, unfolds with six synagogues and the Jewish Museum housing artefacts that endured World War II. The Spanish Synagogue celebrated as the most beautiful in Europe, captivates with its golden-domed ceiling and intricate Arabic designs.
