A Little Bit of History

The capital of the Czech Republic is known by a handful of nicknames: the Golden City, the City of One Hundred Spires, the Rooftop of Europe, and more.

But despite its array of names, its history never changes: the first settlement in Prague dates back to the 8th century, in the Lesser Town area. However, archaeological evidence shows that the Vltava banks where Prague came to be later on were occupied as early as in the year 5000 BCE by Germanic and Celtic tribes.

From the 9th century onwards, the settlers began building the town, starting off with the castle in around 870 and plenty of churches. Many of these constructions are still standing and convey a unique beauty to this golden city.

Visit the Prague Castle

Prague Castle is one of the most important and eye-catching landmarks of Prague, as well as the largest ancient castle complex in the world. It was built in the 9th century (around 870), and it stood the test of time thanks to a lot of repair work, thus becoming one of the oldest standing castles in the world.

Today, it is used as the official seat of the President of the Czech Republic, but its historic buildings, palaces, offices, gardens, churches, and picturesque spots are open to the public.

Cross the Charles Bridge

Besides having one of the oldest castles in the world, Prague also has the oldest bridge still standing over the Vltava River. Built in 1357, Charles Bridge is a beautiful landmark that comprises both Gothic and Baroque architectural elements. It connects the Old Town to the west banks of the Vltava River, known as Lesser Town, one of the most historic districts in Prague.

This pedestrian bridge is famous not only for its thirty Baroque statues (which have been taken to the Lapidarium of the National Museum and replaced with copies) but also for its tower, which is considered the most iconic Gothic gateway in the world.

Take a Walk in Old Town Square

Immerse yourself in a fairytale-like set of cobblestone streets, beautiful architecture, prominent landmarks, and a unique castle in Prague’s Old Town.

Witness to plenty of historical events, this 12th-century square in the center of the capital is among the oldest in the country. Explore its narrow streets and be sure to check out the main points of interest, such as the Astronomical Clock and the Man Hanging Out sculpture.

Grab a Pint

In a country where beer is cheaper than water, don’t forget to hit some pubs and taste several different types of beer.
