Prague brings together structures and public spaces from the Middle Ages to modern times. The historic center holds the Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, the castle on the hill, and Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava River. Churches, monasteries, and palaces show Gothic arches, Baroque facades, and Art Nouveau decoration. Streets open onto quiet courtyards and busy passages, while riverside promenades invite walks along the water. Museums hold art from different centuries, technical collections, and memories of the 20th century. The Spanish Synagogue and other religious sites speak to the city's religious heritage. Theaters and concert halls continue a long cultural tradition. From the Petřín Lookout Tower, you see the rooftops and parks spread below, while gardens such as Wallenstein Garden offer green retreats. Each neighborhood has its own rhythm, and walking remains the best way to discover the layers of history and daily life.
