Prague is the capital city and the largest city in the Czech Republic. It includes 1,21 million people located in a small area of 496 square km. This city is the biggest tourist spot in the Czech Republic therefore there are many different activities to enjoy. The three most interesting activities would be visiting the Prague Castle, Old Town Square, and also the Charles Bridge.
The Prague Castle
The Prague Castle is the most visited sight in Prague and is also considered to be the largest castle in the world because it is (570 m long, on average 128 m wide, area 7.28 hectares). The castle has three beautiful courtyards. This Castle has had four major reconstructions, but it keeps its original form it took on in the 18 century.

The Old Town Square is the most important square of the historical Prague and the oldest. The Old Town Square was founded in the 10 th century as a place, where various goods from countries were sold to local people. It is bounded with several historical buildings such as the Old Town City Hall with the famous Astronomical Clock, the impressive St. Nicholas Church and many houses and palaces. It has been a centre of Prague Old Town since the middle ages.
The Charles Bridge
The Charles Bridge is over the river Vltava. It is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Prague. It is the oldest bridge and the most breathe taking place in the city. This bridge was built between the 14 th and 15 th century. It includes statues and lamps along it.

A little about the Czech Republic



Czech Republic is located in central Europe. This country is between Poland to the northeast, Germany to the west and northwest, Austria to the south and Slovakia to the east. It was formed in the 9th century but it reached its greatest defensive extent during the 13th and 14th century. The most popular spoken language is Czech followed by Polish and German. The estimated population is 10,230,060 in the 2001 census. The currency that they use is the Czech koruna. The tourism in Prague has decreased a lot in the past years due to the cost for visitors being too expensive compared to the level of services that is available. The reputation of this country has been at risk because of the overcharging of taxi drivers and all the pick pocketing problems. The Czech Republic as a whole generally has a low crime rate. Aside from these problems Prague is a relatively safe city where most areas are very safe to walk after dark. The cuisine in Czech is known to be a strong emphasis on meat dishes like Pork for example. Czechs two most popular sports are soccer and ice hockey so it is relatively similar to Canada. I would love to visit the Czech Republic!
