About Prague
Prague spreads across both banks of the Vltava River. Its main areas include the compact Old Town with its square and clock tower, the castle district on the hill, and the quieter Malá Strana at its base. Charles Bridge links these parts for easy walks.
Further out, the Jewish Quarter holds historic sites, while Wenceslas Square anchors the newer center near the National Museum. Prague suits week-long trips built around history, architecture, and visits to landmarks such as St. Vitus Cathedral and the Dancing House.
