Explore Prague

At the crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe, Prague is culturally rich with the legacies, histories, and traditions of both regions. Famously spared large scale destruction by bombing in World War II, the Old Town is an enduring education in centuries of central European architecture. Wander the streets for examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles, among others, and the seamless integration of each style into an elaborate and intoxicating city facade.
