Introduction to Prague

With some six hundred years of architecture virtually untouched by natural disaster or war, few other European capitals look quite as beautiful as Prague. Straddling the winding River Vltava, with a steep wooded hill to one side, the city retains much of its medieval layout and its rich mantle of Baroque, Rococo and Art Nouveau buildings have successfully escaped the vanities and excesses of modern redevelopment.

Buildings on the Old Town Square

Physically, Prague may have weathered the twentieth century very well but it suffered in other ways. The city that produced the music of Dvok and Smetana, the literature of apek and Kafka and modernist architecture to rival Bauhaus, was forced to endure a brutal Nazi occupation. Prague had always been a multiethnic city, with a large Jewish and German-speaking population in the aftermath of the war, only the Czechs were left. Then for forty years, during the Communist period, the city lay hidden behind the Iron Curtain, seldom visited by Westerners. All that changed in the 1990s, and nowadays Prague is one of the most popular European city break destinations, with a highly developed tourist industry and a large expat population who, if nothing else, help to boost the citys nightlife.

Best place for a view over the city

Prague is a city of red rooftops and golden spires, of wooded hills and stupendous views. Every visitor who climbs the steps to the castle is rewarded with a fantastic view over the city, but if you want to escape the crowds, check out some of the capitals other lofty vantage points, such as .

View from Vyehrad

Prague is divided into two unequal halves by the river, which meanders through the heart of the capital and provides the city with one of its most enduring landmarks, the Charles Bridge. Built during the citys medieval golden age, this stone bridge, with its parade of Baroque statuary, still forms the chief link between the more central old town, or Star Msto, on the right bank, and Pragues hilltop castle on the left. The castle is a vast complex, which towers over the rest of the city and supplies the classic picture-postcard image of Prague. Spread across the slopes below the castle are the wonderful cobbled streets and secret walled gardens of Mal Strana, little changed in the two hundred years since Mozart walked them.
