Prague for walking
Each person who visited Prague, answering the question, what is interesting there can be viewed, says that in Prague you need to walk, walk and walk again. Most people will name as required points to visit only the name of the city's parts, such as Vyšehrad, the Old Town, Mala Country, Grads, Jewish Quarter. Some will complement the list of museums, parks, etc. I note that by planning your vacation in the capital of the Czech Republic, you can and do not even expect to go somewhere, but at the same time you will return home in a great mood, and maybe with light sadness that you have already had to leave.Inspection of many attractions from the outside here are no worse than internal visits.
So, I will start your own list of attractions that I would recommend visit to future tourists.
Old city
Go to Prague and not to visit the old town is simply impossible. After all, this is the heart of the city, his historically the oldest part from which its construction began. The most tourist destination here is right The Charles Bridge which is not just worth a few centuries, but also is a "calling card" of the city. It is built over the river Vltava and connects the old town with a small country. The bridge is decorated with sculptures, including the statue of St. Yana Nepomotsky. There is a belief that if you rub it and make a desire, it will be. That is why there is a queue from tourists near this attraction. Everyone wants to ask for Saint Something his innermost.
Old Town Square In the center of the city is the oldest square and the most beautiful. Here, on the Town Hall Building, are famous for the whole world clock which call 12 times a day and show the "view". The very idea is that the watch flaps open and the figures of the apostles begin in a circle, plus the skeleton calls to the bell. All this action lasts several tens of seconds. A crowd of tourists are going to every similar representation, some of which can be comfortably located in a street cafe in front of the clock.
Wenceslas Square It is the place of youth parties, especially in the evenings. At the beginning of the area there is a sculpture of Vaclav on horseback. And in one of the buildings there is an ironic sculpture of a contemporary figure, where Vaclav sits on an inverted horse. The horse itself is attached to the ceiling.
Powder gate. - This is another ancient construction that deserves attention, which is now a place to collect tourist groups.
Jewish quarter
This place is famous for the fact that earlier the Jewish ghetto existed here, the stone wall. The biggest impression left Old Jewish cemetery . Plates of tombstones are located on high mound. For those who still do not know, I will explain that there are very few places in the cemetery, and the burials here were made in long years, so people had nothing left to do as on top of the old graves to make new ones. This formed several layers of burials (in some places to 12), so the cemetery was "growing up".Mala country
This part of the city is famous for its green Gardens and parks . In these places it is nice to walk, slowly consider the beauty of Prague. One place was planted by bushes of blooming roses, fruit trees are grown on others (we, for example, got a pear grove), in the third, you can find peacocks and floating in the fountain of fish. In such places there are many vacationers, not only tourists, but also local residents.
In the same area there is a Czech "Eiffel Tower" and called it Petrshinskaya Tower . If you go upstairs, the unforgettable views of the city are taken away from the height.
You can go up on the stairs, which, although it is inside the design, but so to speak, frozen fresh air. From the wind and visitors tower a little "swinging", which adds adrenaline.
Grads
Rising from the area of Mala country, you get to the most beautiful corner of Prague (in my opinion) - Grads. It is in this place that is the most majestic in the city. St. Vitus Cathedral . It is impossible to appreciate how much this cathedral is beautiful inside and outside. It is known that several generations of architects have been engaged in the construction of the cathedral, which replaced each other for more than 500 years. Each of them did its contribution to the construction, which is why it is impossible to say that all components of the cathedral are made in a single style. Like Charles Bridge, the Cathedral of St. Vita began to build by order of Karl IV.
Cathedral is located on the territory Prague Castle - Residence kings, and now - President of the Czech Republic. In this place, the coronation of ruling persons was carried out. Now the attention of tourists, in addition to the majestic structures and artistic values, attracts the process of changing Karaul.
To describe all the charms of Prague County, it does not have enough article or suitable words. Therefore, I'll just say that it is necessary to see with my own eyes. I will only add that the beauty here can be observed not only during the day, but also with the night lighting of structures.
Visegend
The legend is a fortress with which the construction of Prague began. The main attraction of the Visegrad is Gothic Cathedral of Peter and Paul . The building of the Cathedral during its existence was repeated several times, and in different architectural styles. At the moment it embodies the neo-neutic architectural direction.
Right next to the cathedral is the most famous Czech cemetery where many famous country figures are buried. Whatever it sounds, but even on this cemetery it is interesting to "take a walk." Some tombstones here are interesting monuments dedicated to the buried.
Additionally
In order not to end their list of the cemetery, I also note that the mandatory place to visit in Prague is zoo especially if you travel with children. After all, it is considered one of the best in Europe. I have not seen other European zoos, but this me accressed for sure. A huge territory, a lot of exotic animals and birds, the excellent conditions for their content and recreation organization for visitors deserve attention and adult tourists, and kids.
Well, of course, do not pass by the "dancing" at home. This building is already applied to modern architecture.
I will add that this article managed to accommodate only the "superficial" list of attractions, mandatory for viewing in Prague, which does not reflect, probably, and half of the most beautiful places of this city.
