Old Town Bridge Tower

Czech Republic's capital city, Prague, is home to the Old Town Bridge Tower, a Gothic tower known as Staromstská mosteck. It was constructed in the year 1357, during the reign of Emperor Charles IV. The building once served as the site of the Thirty Years War's decisive battle and displayed the skulls of twelve Protestant leaders who were beheaded in 1621. There is a small video display in the tower's lowest room and a few artefacts unearthed during excavations and restorations. But the best is a narrow 138-step climb towards the dazzling views of the Old Town and the magnificent Vltava River. Prague is one of the most beautiful cities with well-preserved, gorgeous historic structures. Old Town Bridge Tower is one spot where one can experience the pure bliss of traditional medieval architecture. Read More

In the heart of Prague, rising 327 meters above sea level, is Petrin Hill. You can get to the summit by a hike or the cable car. The most striking feature of the hill is the Petrin Lookout Tower. The Tower, a miniature version of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, was constructed atop the hill in 1891. The Petrin tower offers stunning views of Prague, which you can climb for. Don't be intimated by the height of the Tower; the walk up the summit takes only four minutes. Other stunning sights include Mirror Maze, Rose Garden, Observatory, and Pony and Horseback Rides. While the corridor of distorted mirrors makes for a fun diversion for kids and adults, the Rose Garden entices you with its fragrant and refreshing scents. Lastly, the pony or horseback rides are available on the weekends from February till November and possibly every day in the summer. Read More

The Petrin Lookout Tower, situated atop Petrin Hill in Mala Strana, is 63.5 meters tall and was constructed in 1891. It is identical to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which served as a transmission and observation tower. The tower is now a popular tourist destination. A 299-step climb will lead you to the summit, helping you with calming sights of the entire city. The Petrin tower includes two lookout levels. The topmost is about 55 meters high, while the lowermost is located in a neo-Renaissance building. The central portion of the building is an octagonal tube, including two spiral staircases with 299 stairs in each direction. Bracing components in the form of Saint Andrew's crosses are prevalent throughout the structure. Between 1953 and 1992, the observation tower was used as a TV transmission tower. Today, it operates only as a lookout tower. Read More

The Powder Tower or Powder Gate is a medieval gothic tower in Prague, Czech Republic. This original city gate divides the New Town and the Old Town. In the 17th century, the gateway was used to stock gunpowder, thus the names Powder Tower and Powder Gate. During the Battle of Prague, the gate sustained significant damages. In 1876, new sculptures were installed on the tower. One of the most important buildings of Late Gothic Prague is this massive entryway, through which the coronation processions of Czech emperors entered the Old Town. The Powder Gate Tower, completed in 1475 and once used as a depot for gunpowder, is still the starting point for the Coronation or Royal Route to Prague. Read More

The history of Czech beer is described in detail at the Beer Museum Prague. It's the first pub in Czech with 30 craft beers on tap. The ground level of the historic structure houses this interesting Prague Museum pub. This pub has a great layout with a bar room, a side room, and, in my opinion, an upper section. The entire interior has several fascinating fixtures and features relating to beer. Visitors can watch the brewery's production in action and enjoy a variety of unique Czech beers. It's only a minute's walk from the Karlovy Láznè tram stop to this fascinating pub, which is definitely worth a visit. Read More

The Spanish Synagogue in Prague stands where Altschul once stood, the oldest synagogue in the city’s Jewish Quarter. Ironically, the Spanish Synagogue is now the youngest one in Prague. It stands separated from the Church of the Holy Spirit by an unconventional statue of Franz Kafka. The Spanish Synagogue gets its name from its grandiose Moorish-Andalusian architecture inspired by Alhambra in Spain. Once a place of holy gathering for the Jewish communities of the ghetto, the synagogue is now a part of the Jewish Museum in Prague. During the dark days of World War II, properties of the Jewish communities confiscated by German forces were stored in the synagogue. Although handed over to the Jews after the war, modern restorations did not start till after the Velvet Revolution. At present, the Spanish Synagogue displays a permanent exhibition on the history of the Jews in the Bohemian Lands from as early as the 1780s to after the end of World War II. Read More

Speculum Alchemiae Museum, or The Museum of Alchemy, is located in Prague and is a 4-minute walk from the Jewish Quarter. Housed in the oldest buildings of Prague, the Museum of Alchemy is a traditional alchemist's workshop giving visitors a peek into medieval science. The visit comes with guided tours, taking you through the "secret" underground laboratory originally built for king Rudolf II in the 16th Century. Here, you will learn about the elixirs that alchemists brewed following the original formulas that can be found here under controlled settings. Visits into the underground world illuminate some similarities between today's scientific theories and elixirs' healing powers. The museum complex also includes a store where similar elixirs can be purchased. Read More

Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius Cathedral, located in Nové Město, Prague, is the primary Czech and Slovak Catholic Church. This Church is a primary spot where important events occurred during the Second World War. This Baroque-styled Church was where Reinhard Heydrich, a Nazi police officer’s assassination, took place. Two Czechoslovak paratroopers were deployed to Prague in May 1942 by their government in exile in London. They assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi commander of Czechoslovakia. The paratroopers and many partisans who aided in the operation took refuge in the crypt under St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral after the shooting. The tragic story is narrated in detail in the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror, which is placed in the church's crypt where the concluding events occurred. Read More

Located within the complex of Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Prague and, therefore, the most important church in the Czech Republic. This was the site of several monarchical coronations and religious functions in the early days, as well as the resting place of many patron saints, kings, queens, statesmen, and archbishops. The cathedral was founded in 930 by Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia, as a rotunda and was later turned into a basilica in 1060 after the foundation of the Prague bishopric. The current-day Gothic church was built in 1344 and consecrated in 1929. The most significant attraction of St. Vitus Cathedral is the Chapel of St. Wenceslaus, followed by the South Tower. The chapel houses the remains of the saint and boasts grand interiors depicting scenes from his life. Within the chapel is the sacred Crown Chamber, where the Czech Crown Jewels are kept and usually displayed to the public once every five years. Read More

Old Town Square, colloquially called Staromestske Namesti, is a charming and picturesque quadrangle in the heart of Prague. Located between Wenceslas Square and Charles Bridge, the square dates back to the 10th century and once served as a marketplace for European traders. Spread over an area of 9,000 square metres, Staromestske Namesti is now a gathering hub for locals and tourists alike. The best time to visit is during Christmas and Easter when the square decks up in medieval-themed markets and music festivals are organised. The place has been witness to several socio-political milestones in the history of Prague. One such is the Old Town Square execution of 27 martyrs by Habsbergs in the aftermath of the Battle of White Mountain - a tragedy marked by a memorial made of 27 crosses. At the centre of the square is the statue of religious reformer Jan Hus, whose death at a burning stake led to the Hussite Wars. Near Jan Hus Memorial lies the Prague Meridian, a metallic strip once used to determine time using the now-demolished Marian Column. The Gothic-style Church of Our Lady before Tyn and the Baroque-style St. Nicholas Church are the two cathedrals to visit. Prague Orloj, an iconic astronomical clock mounted on the Old Town Hall, is a must-see as well. The Kinsky Palace, one of the many locations where The National Gallery of Prague displays its collections, is also present in the square. Read More
