Prague - a town of contradictions
The Czech capital situated on the banks of Vtlavei, also called the city of a hundred spiers or the Golden city, is the perfect destination to spend your holiday and feel a part of Kafka's tabs. The romantic atmosphere that surrounds this city especially in winter, the rich cultural scene, makes Prague a city of contradictions.
It is renowned for its stunning artwork: painting, sculpture, literature, music, design and architecture, but is just as famous for its food, beer and tourist shopping industry. Prague is one of the most picturesque and intriguing places to visit in Europe. Due to the vintage routes, Prague seems to be from another time.
Much of its charm becomes clear when you aimlessly walk through the old quarters of the city, marveling at the buildings, the people, the shops and restaurants.

The Prague Castle is the jewel of the Czech capital, known as the largest medieval complex in the world. From this complex Cathedral of St. Vitus is also a part, being the largest and the most important cathedral in the Czech Republic.
