1. A monumental Gothic portal built in the 15th century that once formed the main entrance to the Old Town and the starting point of the Royal Route to Prague Castle. It stored gunpowder in later centuries—hence the name—and today stands as one of medieval Prague’s most dramatic symbols.

   10 Min.

2. Central Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1348 by Charles IV. Its complex blends Gothic and Baroque wings, radiating an aura of scholarship and tradition. Coronation processions once passed through these halls; today they host students of Charles University.

4. A majestic Baroque basilica famed for its organ, once played by Europe’s finest musicians. Knights and Prague nobility are buried here—and legend points to a thief’s mummified arm hanging by the door as a warning of divine justice.

About Prag

Prags Türme ragen über der Moldau auf: Burg auf dem Hügel, Brücke mit Heiligenstatuen und eine fast unversehrte mittelalterliche Altstadt.

Die Prager Burg, einer der größten Burgkomplexe überhaupt, krönt den Hügel Hradschin, mit dem St.-Veits-Dom in ihrer Mitte und den winzigen Häuschen des Goldenen Gässchens dahinter. Darunter führen die Barockpaläste und Terrassengärten der Kleinseite hinab zur Karlsbrücke, die von Heiligenstatuen gesäumt und schon im Morgengrauen belebt ist.

Top-ranked sights in Prag: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
