Welcome to Prague

More than 20 years after the Velvet Revolution drew back the curtain on this intoxicating maze of winding cobblestone alleyways, the city of a hundred spires thrills visitors with dramatic Gothic architecture, down-to-earth pubs, ornate cafes, cutting-edge art and the grand Prague Castle, looming high over the city and looking as if straight out of a fairy tale.

Looming high above the Vltavas western bank, this outrageously outsized fortress conjures up childhood fairy tales of a good king watching benevolently over his people.
