Winter Prague Experience

Czech capital works its magic on visitors. Walking through the city streets is like watching a movie, your mind switches off and your eyes follow images of the historical sites. Especially now, when the Christmas spirit has overwhelmed the city with street markets, crepes' stalls and the overall cinnamon scent, Prague is a truly magical place in December.

Sightseeing attractions are within a walking distance, which makes visiting Prague easy and invites to take a relaxing stroll.

This Friday begins Celebration of Prague 2012, festival of theater performances, concerts and museum exhibitions, a treat for all art fans. Not only can you enjoy the work of Art Nouveau Alfons Mucha but also visit the Franz Kafka Museum or see the international exhibition of street art and graffiti in Municipal Library, to name just a few highlights of the festival.

A definite must see in Prague is the Old Town Square with town hall buildings dating back to 1364. The world oldest astronomical clock can be found on the City Hall wall. Installed in 1410, the clock shows the sky position of the Sun and the Moon, death figure strikes the time and the zodiac ring indicates ecliptic position of the sun.

From there on, you can take a walk towards the Charles Bridge - the city's Gothic landmark that has been completed in 1402. The west bank of the river Vitava is home to the Prague Castle and Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral. Enjoy your walk through the Prague's historical sites!
