Overview to visit Prague at its best
During the first walk through the city we will find out that here the development
of the European architecture left splendid representatives of various style
periods. We can admire Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque as well as classical
buildings or various pseudo-style elements or Art Nouveau. Prague is also a
green city. The hills under the Prague Castle, for example, have been presenting
the aims of Baroque architecture to combine building of palaces with creating
gardens full of pavilions and arbours.
Fifteen big bridges picture the countenance of Prague. Fourteen of them vault
across the river Vltava, one of them runs across the Nusle valley. The eldest
and the most precious one was built in 1357 and is named after its founder Charles
IV. We cannot miss is if we take the Royal Route, the famous tourist route leading
from the centre to the Prague Castle.
One of the breath taking and the most photogenic views at the Castle can be
seen right at the bridgehead of the Charles Bridge. The effect of the Castle
panorama is given by the diversity of probably all the historic styles. We will
not exaggerate by saying that we are watching thousand years development of
European architecture.
Different views at the city are offered on several islands, surrounded by the
river Vltava. Although these small islands are not very interesting from the
geographical point of view, they play an important role with their green. These
are oases for relaxation in the middle of the noisy city.
The Czech metropolis abounds in theatres, concert and exhibition halls, museums
and galleries. It is not vain to say that Prague is as diverse as one can wish.
Every new comer will be shown one of Prague charming looks.
