A stroll through the alleys of Prague, in Czech named Praha, is enough to feel the cultural and historical aura that emanates from it. The Czech Republic capital is bordered by the Vltava River and is divided into six tourist areas: Staré Mesto, Mala Strana, Hradcany, Josefov, Nové Mesto, Vysehrad. The most famous, Staré Mesto (the Old Town), is an architectural gem. With its mostly baroque influence, the district has several landmarks not to be missed. Old Town Square is home to the Church of Our Lady before Tyn and the old Town Hall. On the south wall is the sublime astronomical clock, which offers a real spectacle every hour with the apostles parade. Before discovering the authentic Mala Strana district, you will have to cross the Charles Bridge on foot. Once on the other side, the walk continues towards the John Lennon Wall, an explosion of color to symbolize peace and freedom. Then, it is imperative to get to Prague Castle, either by climbing up the hill or taking the tram. Changing the guard takes place every hour, but at noon it is accompanied by a brass band. The Josefov district, a former Jewish ghetto, stands out through its architecture and synagogues. Nové Mesto, known as the New-Town, is renowned for its dynamic side with the construction of modern buildings, such as the Dancing House, which in the 1990s was a symbol of freedom. ◄
