About Praag

Praag toont een skyline vol torenspitsen boven de Moldau, met een kasteel op de heuvel, een brug vol beelden en een middeleeuwse oude stad.

Het Praagse Kasteel, een van de grootste kasteelcomplexen ter wereld, kroont de heuvel van Hradčany, met de Sint-Vituskathedraal in het midden en de piepkleine huisjes van het Gouden Straatje erachter. Daaronder leiden de barokke paleizen en terrastuinen van de Kleine Zijde naar de Karelsbrug, die vol staat met heiligenbeelden en vanaf het ochtendgloren druk is.

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