City of Prague.

The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is actually made up of four towns. Explore the Castle district with its Castle, St. Vitus' Cathedral and many other historical sights. Visit St. Nicholas' Church in the relaxed Lesser Town, then cross Charles Bridge to the Old Town. This is a maze of cobbled streets leading to the Old Town Square, with the unique Astronomical Clock at its centre. The New Town, over 600 years old, has lively Wenceslas Square and the National Museum.
