Prague’s Charming Old Town: The district is a maze of narrow cobbled lanes and winding medieval streets. Visitors can find here some of the country's most famous landmarks and historical monuments, such as the Astronomical Clock, St. Nicholas Church and Loreto Church which was built on a site where two sisters were said to have seen an apparition from Mary (the Lady from the House).
It has about fifty shops for various goods and services for tourists, many internationally-renowned restaurants and pubs with traditional Czech cuisine, street vendors selling souvenirs, and live animals such as rats or frogs ready to be turned into dinner by local chef masterpieces.
The area hosts several festivals throughout the year such as at Christmas or Easter when musicians dressed in traditional costumes
Dancing House: The Dancing House is a piece of modern architecture designed by Vlado Milunic. The site is located on the bank of the river Vltava in Prague’s Smichov district which has been an industrial district since the early 20th century.
This building was created as a tribute to Czech architect Jan Kotěra, who had envisioned Prague’s National Theatre as a ‘dancing house.’ It is also meant to be an analogy of the Czech people who have had to dance and move rhythmically despite outside pressure or occupation.
Wenceslas Square: Wenceslas Square is one of the busiest, most popular and historically significant squares in the Czech Republic. The centrepiece is the National Museum, which towers over the square with its Neo-Renaissance architecture.
Visitors who are unfamiliar with Prague will find themselves drawn to this iconic part of the city that has been featured in countless films, TV shows and advertisements. The square offers a variety of attractions and activities for all types of visitors, including locals and tourists alike.
National Gallery: The National Gallery (Národní Galerie) in Prague is the most popular in the Czech Republic. It houses a world-renowned collection of paintings and sculptures that, among other things, include works by Rubens, Renoir, van Gogh, Monet and Picasso.
The museum was founded in 1890 when it became the first art museum to open its doors to the general public. The Gallery’s collection originates from donations of individuals as well as purchases and state commissions which have been going on for more than 100 years.
Prague Castle: Prague Castle is a very popular tourist attraction in Prague. Situated at an elevation of 130 meters, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers expansive views of the city. The first historical records show that this site was built in 870, based on the remains of an ancient Celtic hillfort dating to 150 B.C., and has since witnessed many important events including coronations, sieges, public speeches and even performances by Handel's "Messiah".
Jewish Quarter: While visiting Jewish Quarter, it is important to note that there are still many remnants of the time when Jews were forbidden to live anywhere else in Prague. Some are more popular than others, like The Old-New Synagogue, The Pinkas Synagogue or The Spanish Synagogue.
One of the best ways to explore the quarter is by taking a guided tour and hearing about its history from an expert on the subject.
