If you’re planning a holiday or city break to Prague, you’re in for a huge experience. History seeps into every corner of this dreamy ‘city of 100 spires’ which soar high above the skyline. Elegant city squares blend seamlessly with contemporary and gothic architecture; framed by the red roofs of the city’s houses. And it’s amazing how much you can pack into even a short visit here.

Charles Bridge is Prague’s oldest stone bridge, constructed six centuries ago and one of the Czech capital’s most romantic locations Enjoy it as early in the day as you can, before it becomes a magnet for tourists. Wenceslas Square, and many other sights, are just a short walk away in Prague’s compact centre.

You could easily spend a whole day just taking in the magnificence of Prague castle. But don’t forget to also visit the twelfth century Old Town square and the Old Town Hall with its astronomical clock. Mala Strana, with its beautiful architecture and gardens are wonderful, as is Vitus Cathedral. There’s also the Royal Palace, museums, and the Golden Lane to take in as well. p>
