Old Town Square

a 7 minute walk or 1 stop on the Metro

With its rare and beautiful buildings and churches, Old Town Square is the most important historical square in Prague and one of the most picturesque squares in all of Europe. Its history dates as far back as the twelfth century. Old Town Square originally served as a central marketplace for Prague. Over the centuries the houses were constructed here in Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic styles and stories of the rich merchants and political intrigue naturally accompanied them. The most noteworthy historical sites of this square are no doubt the huge Church of Our Lady before Týn, Old Town Hall Tower and the famous astronomical clock.

Jewish Quarter

a 15 minute walk or 1 stop on the Metro

The Jewish Quarter in Prague is located between Old Town Square and the River Vltava. Its history dates back to the thirteenth century, when the Jewish community in Prague was ordered to leave their homes and all settle in one place. Representing the best preserved complex of Jewish historical structures in the whole of Europe, it gained its present look primarily during the period of rebuilding from 1893 to 1913. The Jewish Quarter also includes the Jewish Museum, Old-New Synagogue and the old Jewish Cemetery, the most important site of its kind in Europe.

Charles Bridge

an 8 minute walk or 1 stop on the Metro

Built in the fourteenth century, Charles Bridge joins the two sides of Prague. This magnificent structure is one of the greatest tourist attractions in the city, representing the main pedestrian route connecting Old Town with Lesser Town. The bridge is typically constantly overcrowded – with street painters, musicians and tourists. Over the years thirty statues and sculptural groups were installed on the bridge. Perhaps the most interesting, as well as the oldest, is the statue of John of Nepomuk.

Prague Castle

2 stops on the Metro and a 10 minute walk

Prague Castle is the largest medieval castle complex in Europe and the ancient seat of Kings of Bohemia. Being considered the most important Czech historical site and one of the most significant cultural institutions, it consists of several palaces, an observation tower, museum, art gallery, monastery and finally the imposing St. Vitus Cathedral. Today Prague Castle is the seat of the President of the Czech Republic and serves as the historical and political centre not only of Prague, but the whole country. Taking place every hour and at noon with a ceremonial fanfare, the changing of the guard has always been very popular.
