The Lesser Town Bridge Tower in Prague
Today, post-Communist Prague is a modern city. Towering churches,
centuries-old bridges and cobblestone streets provide the backdrop for
cafes, restaurants, galleries, shops and clubs.
New, Old and Lesser Towns
Prague was originally developed as four adjacent self-governing boroughs,
plus a walled Jewish section, and they have maintained their individual
identities. New, Old and Lesser Towns make up part of the central Prague
neighbourhood, each with its own unique attractions.
The Old Town boasts cobblestone streets, beautiful baroque and
Renaissance architecture, and wonderful restaurants, shops, and bars. Lesser
Town is laced with narrow, winding lanes and dotted with palaces and town
houses. The parliament, the government, and several embassies are housed in
palaces here. New Town, the central business district, feels more like a
regular town rather than a tourist attraction.

Here's
a building that should really get your attention when walking pass it. The
Dancing House is considered as one of the more real controversial buildings
in Prague. It was actually designed by a great architect from California,
which only proves that he had done some type of hallucinogen while designing
it.
The two modern multi-storey buildings, placed elegantly side by side as
if dancing, depict an upright man, with a fancy haircut, standing steady,
who is stretching his arm out to a gracefully curved lady, twirling to a
joyous rhythm, with her flexible legs. |
Prague Castle
No visit here is complete without a visit to this castle – the largest
medieval castle in Europe and the world. Constructed in the 9th century, the
castle was initially a wooden fortress. Different rulers made their own
additions so there is a mixture of styles from Romanesque to Gothic.
The castle grounds are filled with many buildings including several
palaces, a monastery, museums, galleries and viewing towers. Probably the
most the famous building is Saint Vitus Cathedral, a Gothic building which
took nearly six centuries to build and where Czech kings were laid to rest.
Golden Lane is another interesting part of the Prague Castle complex. It
is a small street lined by 11 historic houses, some of which house
interesting armoury and textile exhibits, along with souvenir shops.
Charles Bridge
This 13th century bridge is the main pedestrian route linking the Old
Town with Lesser Town and Prague Castle. Visit during the day and check out
the souvenir stands, street musicians and 75 statues lining the bridge, or
wait until nightfall for a romantic stroll and magnificent view of the
Prague skyline.
Old Town Square
Stepping into Old Town Square is like going back in time. Dating back to
the late 12th century, the square started life as the central marketplace
for Prague. Over the next few centuries, many buildings were erected around
the market – most notably the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, the
Astronomical Clock and Old Town Hall Tower and St. Nicolas Church. This
makes the square one of the most beautiful historical sights in Europe.
WOW Black Light Theatre
The secret to black light theatre are actors in black suits, gloves and
masks called “black people” who work the show. They move fluorescent-coloured
objects and people around so that they seem to be hovering in the air. WOW
Black Light Theatre is the biggest and most modern of the nine black light
theatres in Prague. Sit back and enjoy the hour-long 3D show.
