"A kaleidoscope of images and tantalizing info-bits that flash out of the pages." -- Herald Tribune

Stroll past the statues on the Charles Bridge which leads to old Town Square where you can visit the Church of St. Nicholas, with its beautifully sculpted interior, the former Town Hall and its intricate Clock Tower, and the enormous complex of the Clementium which took over a century to complete. Visit the storied Prague Castle, wander through the peaceful Hradcany district, or linger in Wenceslas Squares, a symbol of Czech national pride and resistance.
