What to see in the city
Prague is the inimitable capital of the Czech Republic, a city with magical streets, mysterious monuments and architecture, which causes admiration and desire to look into the most hidden corners of the city.
Old month
Old Messo, or Prague 1, stores the most ancient attractions, cathedrals and palaces.
You need to start a walk along the old-month from the Old Town Square. She is surrounded by the Tynsk Temple, the Church of St. Nicholas and the Old Town Hall with the famous astronomical hours. Every hour, chimes are regularly beaten, and figures of the apostles showing the performance appear from the windows. Here you can go on a tour of the dungeon, to ancient halls and the Gothic Church. The ticket will cost 250 CZK.
Not far from the square, on U Prašné Brány Street, there are a “powder tower” gate. You can rise on them and inspect the old city from a height over 100 CZK. Next to the gate is the building of the municipal house with stained glass, balconies and sculptures. Now it is held in concerts and various performances.
Be sure to take a walk along the prayer zaplets of an old-month. Here you will find authentic shops, cozy cafes and the most fabulous Prague houses. Get to Husova Street to see the sculpture of the hanging Sigmund Freud. Not far from it the monument “Franz Kafka’s head” rotates, and the famous Vaclav Square is located nearby.
Museum of Alchemy
