Regions at a Glance

Old Town & Josefov

The vibrant heart of Prague with Old Town Square, the Astronomical Clock, Týn Church, and Charles Bridge. Josefov, the historic Jewish quarter, preserves six synagogues and the oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe — an evocative journey through 800 years of history.

Prague Castle & Hradčany

The largest enclosed castle complex in the world towers over the city: the Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, the Golden Lane, the Old Royal Palace, and all around the aristocratic Hradčany district with the Strahov Monastery and its world-famous library halls.

Lesser Town & Malá Strana

Prague's baroque jewel at the foot of the castle: cobblestone alleys, the magnificent St. Nicholas Church, the colorful Lennon Wall, the idyllic Kampa Island, and Petřín Hill with its observation tower — pure romance between the Vltava River and the castle wall.

New Town & Vinohrady

The New Town, founded by Charles IV in 1348, with the historic Wenceslas Square and the National Opera. Vinohrady, southeast of it, is Prague's trendy district: Art Nouveau facades, craft beer bars, excellent restaurants, and the local lifestyle away from the tourist crowds.
