About Prague

Prague dresse ses flèches sur la Vltava : château perché, pont bordé de statues et vieille ville médiévale restée presque intacte.

Le château de Prague, l'un des plus grands ensembles castraux au monde, couronne la colline de Hradčany, avec la cathédrale Saint-Guy en son centre et les minuscules maisons de la Ruelle d'Or nichées derrière. En contrebas, les palais baroques et les jardins en terrasses de Malá Strana descendent vers le pont Charles, bordé de statues de saints et animé dès l'aube.

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