Prague
Overview
Prague is one of the most stunning cities in Europe, listed as the UNESCO World Heritage Gem. The magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, whose image has been mirrored in the surface of the Vltava river for more than ten centuries.
Prague is also a modern European metropolis full of energy, music, and art. It's a city of contrasts: serene green isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city's seven hills are just steps away from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city centre.
It's a place where different architectural styles stand cheek by jowl, creating an atmosphere that's both intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget once you visit.
Prague is a rewarding place to visit at any time of year. The winters can be long, harsh and dark, however spring and autumn are often idyllic with summer bringing some very warm central European temperatures.
