Top Prague attractions
Not sure what to do in Prague, besides eat and drink? Here are a couple of recommendations, provided by Skyscanner.
The Charles Bridge
First up is the Charles Bridge.
Joining the Lesser Side with Old Town, the Charles Bridge is famously the best spot for viewing the Prague Castle. Thousands of people traverse this cobbled bridge every year.
Prague Castle
Then, there's Prague Castle.
Perhaps the most beautiful sight east of Paris, Prague Castle was the original seat of power in Bohemia, the home of Czech royalty. The former royal compound is actually a series of castles, with a cathedral and several gardens and plazas at the center.
