Prague is a city on the Vltava with coffee and pastries, tiled roofs and many views from the hills. It is convenient to learn on foot: narrow streets lead to spacious squares, and each district has its own character. The route “Prague on the palm” runs from Petryshyn through Hradčany and Mala Strana to the Old Town, then along the National Theatre to Vysehrad, and then to Karlin and Zhyzkov. The most striking: - The Petrshyn observation tower is like a miniature Eiffel Tower, from which a panorama of the Vltava, bridges and red roofs opens. - Loreta is a shrine with carillon, whose bells ring every hour over the hill; rare relics are kept in the treasury. - The Cathedral of St. Vitus is a majestic neo-Gothic with stained glass windows by Alfonso the Fly and the tomb of the lords; the coronation regalia is guarded by several guardians, each with its own key. - Charles Bridge — a stone gallery in the open air: statues, music, reflections in the water. - Old Town Hall — Orloy, where every hour figures move and apostles appear. Interesting facts: Prague Castle is one of the largest castle complexes in the world. And the tram network here is one of the densest in Europe. This route combines landscapes, legends and delicious stops. Grab comfortable shoes - and the city itself will open its courtyards and peaks.
