Prague at a Glance

Stroll across the Charles Bridge, admire Prague's fabulous Gothic architecture, listen to street performances and sip on local brews. Prague is at your fingertips.

Get your best view of Prague in the early hours of the morning when the city is lit by a tinge of pink light. Step onto the 14th century Charles Bridge and admire the twisted Gothic statues and solid stone work that has kept this bridge steady for over 600 years. When the light is right, take a picture of the Gothic towers of Prague Castle and the black turrets of St. Mary's Cathedral.

As light hits the city, head for the interior. Have delicious coffee at a sidewalk cafe and watch the city awaken. Join the crowds as they explore Prague Castle and St. Mary's Cathedral. Escape down a twisted street for some peace and quiet at lunchtime. Find statues, historic buildings and city squares everywhere.
