Prague Castle;
The castle stands on the
banks of the River Vtlava in the heart of old town Prague. It is
reportedly the largest castle in the world and as such there is
plenty to see and do inside; one of the best and most popular
ways to do this is by a guided foot tour.
The Charles Bridge;
Named after the Roman
Emperor and King Of Czechoslovakia who ordered its construction
in the 14th century; Charles IV. The bridge is a masterpiece of
Gothic stonework and is adorned by statues of various historical
figures from Czech history.
Top Tip;
Try to fit in a night time
sight seeing with meal river cruise along the Vtlava; the tour
operators will pick you up and drop you back at your hotel. Not
only will you be treated to a wonderful nights entertainment but
you will also see some of the breathtaking views of Prague, lit
for the views from the river.
Getting There:
By Air;
Shuttle buses are readily available between Prague Airport and
the city with a journey time of around 20 minutes.
By Road;
With a new four lane road linking Prague to the German
border, driving here is easy with very little traffic. Once into
the city it is obviously busier and many of the streets are
still cobbled so can be bumpy.
