Prague is a one of the most visited cities in the area that was under communist operate before the fall of the Iron Curtain. It has a definite reputation is some circles as a place full of drunken men and women on stag/ hen weekends. This though is untrue and it honestly is a marvelous place full of history, culture and astonishing architecture that make it a must to visit.
Prague is a glorious city of bridges, cathedrals and gold tipped towers and church domes that are all reflected off the Vltava River that runs through the heart of the city. Unlike many European cities Prague was largely undamaged during World War Two and with the primary architecture is still intact the city is just a marvelous place to walk around. There are walled courtyards and churches with majestic spires that all pale in point compared to the 9th Century castle that looks eastwards as the sun set behind her.
The Castle District (Hradcany) is a great place to visit and is filled with many more attractions than just the castle it has palaces, churches and monasteries. If you take time to go to the palaces then you will see some great art in the galleries with in.
As for Prague Castle itself (Prazky Hrad) it is the former seat of the King and is now the seat of the Czech president. The castle is the number one tourist attraction so you are best to get there early (even before the castle opens) if you want to avoid a long wait.
When you visit the Castle District I would advise the following things do to:-
-Watch the Castle Guard changing ceremony (best at midday)
-Climb the highest tower of the St. Vitus Cathedral to enjoy the best view of Prague.
-Visit the galleries inside the castle and in the palaces.
-Listen to the Loreta Bells on the full hour.
Prague is a marvelous city and you will find plenty to see, eat, drink and just walking round this beautiful city will satisfy any traveler.
