Prague has become a number one destination for visitors and that’s hardly surprising. The ancient capital of Bohemia overflows with history and unique charm. Cobbled lanes weave and wind through this city of magic and mystery.
During your visit, there are many essential sights to see. Prague’s spectacular castle looms over the city, its towers and spires dominating the skyline. Within the castle complex lies an extra treasure – Golden Lane. This quaint street, built at the end of the 16th century, features tiny houses which press against the castle walls. Originally inhabited by castle marksmen, over the years noteworthy people have lived there including Franz Kafka.
While Prague is a delight to walk around, why not enjoy it from the water? A sightseeing cruise is a wonderful way of getting to know the city. Pass under the bridges and relax as your leisurely cruise allows you to enjoy a new perspective. The Czech Republic is also known for its delicious beers and some brewery visits offer insight into the production process and provide expert knowledge.
