In search of an exciting vacation? Visit a city known for its grandeur, Prague. The capital of the Czech Republic, Prague is a city that will fascinate and rejuvenate. With history all around and detailed in its architecture, Prague is the perfect destination for a summer vacation.
First stop in Prague, the ever-famous Charles Bridge. Take a stroll down the oldest bridge in the city, as it is decorated with beautiful statues and has magnificent Gothic towers on each end. Next, be sure to visit Old Town Square, a common tourist destination. Home to the Old Town City Hall and numerous medieval houses and palaces, this square will have you occupied for hours. While there, check out the popular Astronomical Clock. With each passing hour, the 12 Apostles, carved out of wood, move across the dial window as several of the surrounding sculptures come to life as well.
Although the architecture of this fine city will leave you awestruck, you must escape the city and visit the famed Prague Zoo. A rather large zoological garden, the zoo offers you a taste of the beautiful countryside. With over 5,000 animals and 650 different species, you are sure to enjoy this splendid garden that welcomes over 1.3 million visitors every year. Certainly a photographer’s dream, Prague offer’s numerous opportunities for pictures to be taken and memories to be made.
Real traveler Irishmonkey details a trip to Prague:
“Prague as a city is able to mix the sightseeing with a good night life. Most of the must see sights are all located within a fairly compact area of the city. You can easily walk any where once in the city centre. These are just a few at random. St. Charles bridge – impressive bridge adored with numerous statues mainly of a religious nature with a guard tower a one end. The bridge is now only for foot passenger and seem to be the day resident of artist/photographers selling local landscapes or caricatures. Old town square - is Prague’s tourist central, but is done very well giving it a market feel. The stalls selling souvenirs are of a high standard as are the various local food stalls.” (more…)
