Tour Description
Prague is a magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church spires.
Since the Middle Ages Prague has been reputed as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The city was founded in the Romanesque era and flourished in the Gothic and Renaissance periods. It was once the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors, later becoming an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy. After WWI it became the capital of Czechoslovakia, and in 1993 Prague became the capital of the new Czech Republic. Because Prague wasn’t severely damaged during WWII, many of its most impressive historical buildings remain today, a breathtaking mix of architecture that is hard to find anywhere else in Europe.
