Perched on a hill overlooking the city is Prague Castle. Consisting of Baroque churches, courtyards, and a royal palace, Prague Castle is one of the city's most iconic attractions. Another key point of interest is the 14th century Charles Bridge, which spans the Vltava River, and street artists sell pen-and-ink works of art. The city's winding lanes make their way to the Old Town Square, home to the city's famous astronomical clock, as well as the Church of St. Nicholas.
Looking to find something special to commemorate your visit to Prague? The city offers some of the world's best crystal and glass. For a taste of the region, spicy goulash is a staple, as is seasoned pork served with sweet cabbage and dumplings. For dessert, fruit-filled dumplings and crepes are an authentic Czech choice. Beer enthusiasts take note--the Czech Beer Festival in Prague is happening May 10 to May 26, 2018.
