Imagine a beautiful, ancient European city that looks like the 18th century never ended, with cobbled lanes and majestic old Baroque palaces, statues everywhere, fountains, gardens, a brooding castle on the hill, a river crossed by historic foot-bridge, and with no automobiles in the center to shatter the time-warp illusion. This must be Prague!
Capital of the Czech Republic (Czechia), Prague is one of the most picturesque and interesting cities in Europe. It is one of the few major historic places on the Continent that was not damaged by either World Wars, so the well-preserved buildings you see are the real thing, not a reconstruction or some tourist bureau fantasy.
Not much has changed during the past 200 years, resulting in one of the largest collections of well-preserved old buildings in Europe. “Modernization” was thankfully limited to the graceful innovations of art nouveau at the beginning of the 20th century, found in dozens of elegant buildings around the center. Economic stagnation under the Communists following the Second World War was unfortunate for Czech society, but fortuitously it preserved the old buildings by default, since there was no money to knock them down and build anything new. The city is a jewel intact, a time capsule glistening with castles, palaces, medieval old-town neighborhoods, and many fascinating sights that offer a glimpse of the past.
The “city of a hundred spires” will impress you with its soaring churches and lavish baroque palaces. Its lively squares and avenues give the city a festive atmosphere which few can rival, and its concert halls, ballet and opera performances are world-class.
Wow! Great video 👍🇺🇸

buddy!yahoo,Enjoyed. total nice upload.
I was in Prague just before the pandemic in 2019 - we stayed just west of the Vltava river in the Andel area - it's a beautiful city, not too big and very walkable, I hope to come back again soon
I was walking here too 😉
I absolutely adore Prague - how lucky are those citizens of Prague to live there...but oooh those tourists flooding the city and never letting up and it makes me wonder how many of the people you pass are actually citizens. Part of the wonder of travel, especially to Europe, is to see the locals and how they live and how they enjoy their own city - even though I too am a tourist to Europe but I do my best to avoid typical tourist areas durng the day (I visit these places very early in the morning when most tourists are asleep) in the hope of seeing the locals going about their business and to really get a good look around without being blocked by tourists. I really wonder how these tourists in these tour groups really appreciate the places they go to....
Hotel suggestions at Prague please
Beautiful Prague! 🤩 I too would like to do my Walking tour
Without a mention of Kafka, and his place, Prague journey would never be complete, depiction, me thinks. I must say given the time constraint, this is good tour.
