Holiday homes in Prague, get to know one of the oldest cities in Europe
'Golden City', 'City of the Hundred Towers', 'Mother of Cities' - these are some of the names for this fairytale city on the Moldau. The holiday homes in Prague are the perfect starting point to discover the city. Prague is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and therefore rich in historic buildings around atmosphere-filled squares and impressive churches and castles. The historical core of the city was rightly placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1993.
Prague is truly a cultural city. Nowhere else in the world can you find so many concert halls, baroque buildings, natural beauty, entertainment and relaxation in one city! When visiting Prague, don't miss the most famous cultural treasure of the Czech Republic, the Czech castle Karlstejn. In fact, this castle is a collection of buildings built from the 9th century onwards. You will find the Knights' Hall, the parliament buildings, the Basilica of St. George and the Basilica of St. Vitus. The crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire are kept here.
Holiday homes in Prague, for a city trip to the city of the bridges
Prague is also known for its Vltava bridges (the bridges over the Moldau). There are 15 bridges over the Moldau connecting the old city of Stare Mesto with Malá Straná. The most famous bridge is the Charles Bridge. The uniqueness of this bridge is that it is the only one that is only accessible to pedestrians. On both sides of the bridge, there are bridge towers dating from the 15th century, as well as unique sandstone sculptures from the baroque era. In summer, this romantic place is teeming with street performers and artists.
Shopping in Prague
When you visit this city, you will probably also go shopping. In the historical centre consisting of 5 districts, there are daily markets with lots of art, wooden toys and souvenirs, but also lots of fruit and vegetables.
