Prague City Guide Introduction

Since the Velvet Revolution of 1989, Prague has captured the imaginations of countless visitors. With an old town that is nothing short of mythic in feel (especially on a cool night when its heavy buildings are enshrouded in fog) and architectural wonders that spread throughout, it's easy to understand how this romantic city has pierced the fantasies of so many.

Inside and beyond the old town, Prague features prime Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau examples of architectural excellence.

But Prague is not just about the glories of the past. Today's Prague is an increasingly great place to eat well, dance until late, and rub elbows with an international crowd of hipsters. And if your scene is more hostel than hotel, don't fret. Prague often feels as if the universities of the world have unleashed all of their students in Kampa Park.
