Prague - The golden city on the Vltava

The capital of the Czech Republic is a major urban conservation area. Since 1992, the historic center with an extent of 866 hectares is listed as UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Prague is one of the nine cities receiving the title “European cultural capital of the Year 2000” from the European Community. High above the historical center towers the Prague Castle. It is a perfect example of all artistic styles and genres. The historic town center stretches along the Vltava and consists of six parts, once independent cities that were united in the 18th Century. It is Old Town, Josefstadt (extant part of the former Jewish Town – today a part of Old Town), the New Town (Nove Mesto), the Lesser Town (Mala Strana), Hradcany (the town houses) and Vysehrad. Here you will find most of the historic monuments, museums and galleries. Visit and experience the charm of this enchanting city – Prague is just a day trip away.
