The Prague Castle:
National cultural monument, the symbol of more than millennial development of the Czech state. Since its foundation in the last quarter of the 9th century it has been developing uninterruptedly throughout the past eleven centuries. It is a monumental complex of ecclesiastical, fortification, residential and office buildings representing all architectural styles and periods, surrounding three castle courtyards and covering 45 hectares. Originally it used to be the residence of princes and kings of Bohemia, since 1918 it is the seat of the president.

Wenceslas Square:
The largest square in the city, Wenceslas Square was home to much of Prague's history, including the N**i Occupation and the Communist Takeover, as well has having been the starting point of the Velvet Revolution. Now a trendy place full of shopping stores and cafes, it is still a great place to get a feel for the city. You can also try one of Prague's traditional fried cheese sandwiches at one of the many all-night stands dotting the square. Above the square is the imposing Museum of Natural History, which Communist troops shot at after mistaking it for the Parliament building.

The beautiful and dark gothic bridge spanning the Vltava river, Charles Bridge is flanked by a series of giant stone statues, representing religious figures and icons. One of these statues is said to bring luck to whoever touches it. During the day, the Bridge is home to many artists and musicians, but at night, the bridge quiets down and becomes a wonderful place to look out over the sparkling waters of the Vltava river.
