A walk in Prague, A Prague travel guide. This video combines a short walk in Prague with a travel guide to the city.

The bohemian allure and fairytale atmosphere of #Prague make it a perfect destination for culture vultures who want to immerse themselves in history, art, music, and architecture. You could devote an entire day to exploring the town, wandering Old Town Square, and spending time at the Astronomical Clock before heading up to the Magnificent #Prague Castle.

According to the tradition A Gallic tribe named the Boii, first inhabited the land where #Prague is now laying down. From the tribe's name, the region Bohemia has taken its one. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Germanic tribes settled in the region and during the sixth century, the Slavic tribes established themselves in the area.

Prague is bisected by the Vltava River. Nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires” it is known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its historic core, with colourful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show.
Prague is probably one of Europe's most charming and beautiful cities and has become a very popular travel destination in Central Europe. Prague's medieval centre remains a wonderful mixture of cobbled lanes, walled courtyards, cathedrals and countless church spires. This town is also a modern and vibrant city full of energy, music, cultural art, fine dining and special events catering to the independent traveller's thirst for adventure.

Prague's historical centre fascinates visitors with the unparalleled ensemble of many architectural styles from Romanesque rotundas to Gothic spires, from Renaissance palaces to the Jewish synagogues and Baroque churches. But also monasteries, Art Nouveau and Modernist houses ‑ all telling the story of a city largely untouched by natural disasters and wars, sealed off by the Iron Curtain from the rest of the world for the last fifty years.
The pedestrian Charles Bridge is a unique architectural medieval prodigy lined with statues of Catholic saints and until 1841 was the only bridge over the Vltava River in Prague. Built during 1357 by Charles IV, after the previous bridge had been destroyed by floods, it is 516 meters long, 9.5 meters wide, 13 meters high, and stands on 15 pillars. The bridge, formerly known as “Stone” or “Prague”, has taken its current name since 1870. Charles Bridge is a magnificent, charming historical building often full, not only with people crossing the bridge but also with various artists, painters and musicians.
Crossing the bridge, we found the incredible Prague Castle, the largest coherent castle complex in the world, a UNESCO Heritage site. It consists of a large-scale composition of palaces and ecclesiastical buildings of various architectural styles of the last millennium, including Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, Romanesque Basilica of St. George, a monastery and several palaces, gardens and defence towers. The Gothic Cathedral is simply beautiful and breathtaking. As soon as you walk in you get this sense of overwhelming emotion. However, the real surprise is the Romanesque Basilica with its ascetic and clean style and incredible frescos. The church is dominated by its two white stone steeples, which reach a height of 41 m. The church's ceiling is made of a deep dark wood, its height accentuated by the narrow width of the church. Decorative windows in the stonewalls provide atmospheric lighting. The overall effect is a very old world.
Leaving the Castle area you cannot avoid the visit to the panoramic view, which is one of the most spectacular in the world.
Each of Prague’s districts has its own characteristics, atmosphere, and unique charm. The city, however, presents itself as changeable, possessing alternate styles: romantic and successful, ancient and modern, but above all, cosmopolitan and breathtaking.
