Prague in the Czech Republic is a paradise for most adventurers. Is it a very beautiful city?

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. This used to be Urumqi in Bohemia and Beijing in the Holy Roman Empire. Prague is called "one of the most beautiful cities in Europe" because of its gorgeous architectural colors, and it is also the first city in the world to be selected as a world natural heritage.

Prague is a famous city with a history of thousands of years. In the past, it was once the capital of Bohemia, the imperial capital of the Holy Roman Empire, and a very important city in modern Austria-Hungary. Under the establishment of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, many key engineering buildings, such as the Charles Bridge and St. Vitus Church, were built at this time, and the emperor personally laid the foundation stone for the Charles Bridge. With the division of Austria-Hungary after World War I, Prague became the newly established capital of Czechoslovakia, Beijing.

Old Town Square The old town square is a place that all people who come to Prague will definitely go to. The Old Town Square is closely surrounded by many famous buildings, including the Gothic Tyne Church, the Baroque St Nicholas Church and the famous astronomical clock instead of the Drum Tower. Like other cities in Europe, the old town square belongs to the Christmas market during Christmas.

Astronomical Clock The exquisite and beautiful astronomical clock is a must for everyone who comes to Prague. This clock can display all kinds of astronomical data including the position of the sun and the moon. It is the third oldest astronomical clock in the world, and it is also the oldest astronomical clock that can still operate today. The display of mechanical dolls during the whole period has also attracted many tourists to watch the excitement.

Charles Bridge Charles Bridge is one of the important scenic spots in Prague. A beautiful highway bridge across vltava river was mainly built by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV at the beginning of15th century. The towers on both sides of the bridge bottom and 30 baroque statues on the bridge body are the main features of this bridge. This kind of statue originated from Bohemian sculptors, and the figures in the statue are mostly sages. This statue stood from the beginning of17th century to the beginning of18th century, but most of the existing sculptures on the bridge are replicas, and the original works are collected by the Capital Museum. Charles bridge is part of the royal road, and kings used to go to the crown of the palace church on the mountain.
