Prague, the mother of all cities

I remember the first time I saw pictures of Prague, I fell in love with city simply by seeing those photos. But visiting the city was one of my dreams. Just to tell you a little bit more of Prague, it is the capital of the Czech Republic. Situated on the banks of the Vltava River, its beauty and historical heritage make it one of the 20 most visited cities in the world. I am sure  that after reading this post you will see why.

During the last century, Prague has passed through two World wars, Nazi and Soviet occupation, but still it is one of the most important and beautiful capitals of Europe.

You surely will find that many people that had traveled to Prague say that the city is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Most of the tourist attractions are in the areas of the Historic center.

The Castle District (Hradcany), the Lesser Town (Malá Strana), the Old Town (Stare Metso) and the New Town (Nove Mesto), are part of this historic center of Prague, and I must say, there are places you should include while you are planning your trip. Just a quick tip, Prague is a very compact city and moving from Prague Castle to the Old Town can take you less than half an hour walking, so take your time to enjoy all of these areas visiting all the attractions that Prague has.

Naturally you can find a good Hotel in this area of the city I recommend it, as you can go everywhere from this place and visit most of the attractions from here.
