Things to Do in Prague

Prague's Old Town Square has an astronomical clock that has been working continuously since 1410, making it one of the oldest still-operating clocks in the world.

The city straddles the Vltava River and is built on nine hills, earning it the nickname 'the city of a hundred spires' for its distinctive Gothic and Baroque skyline.

Prague was largely spared from bombing during World War II, which is why its medieval and Renaissance architecture remains so well-preserved compared to other major European cities.

Czech beer culture is deeply rooted in Prague—the country has the highest beer consumption per capita in the world, and the city's beer halls date back centuries.

Charles Bridge, connecting Old Town to Prague Castle, took 46 years to build (1357–1402) and is lined with 30 statues added over the following centuries.

Prague was the birthplace of the Bohemian Reformation and home to writer Franz Kafka, whose works captured the city's atmosphere despite his ambivalent relationship with it.
