As the city\u2019s most popular touristic area, the Square is a bustling and vibrant plaza with visitors from all over the world photographing the Astronomical Clock Tower and Church of Our Lady before T\u00fdn, or dining at the lively cafes and restaurants in the vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Astronomical Clock<\/b><\/p><\/h4>\n\n\n\n Dating from the fifteenth century, the Astronomical Clock is the third-oldest clock in the world and the oldest clock still in operation. Allegedly, the Clock\u2019s creator, the imperial clockmaker Mikul\u00e1\u0161 of Kada\u0148, was blinded upon the order of the Prague Councillors so that he could not duplicate his work. The Astronomical Clock depicts the Twelve Apostles and displays the months, days and zodiac signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Church of Our Lady before T\u00fdn<\/b> <\/span><\/p><\/h4>\n\n\n\n Also in the Old Town Square is the elegant Gothic-style Church of Our Lady before T\u00fdn. Erected between the fourteenth and early sixteenth centuries, the Church features art works from the Gothic, Renaissance and Early Baroque periods, as well as a 17th-century organ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Charles Bridge<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n The picturesque Charles Bridge connects the old city and the Mala Strana district. Erected in 1357, the Charles Bridge was overhauled and restructured in 1970. In addition to magnificent views at any time of the day, the Bridge also features Baroque-style statues and sculptures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Franz Kafka Museum<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n After setting off from the Old Town and crossing the Charles Bridge, continue on the road on the right. After stopping by U Luzickeho Seminare, Prague’s narrowest street at just 48 centimeters wide, you can continue to the Franz Kafka Museum. This relatively small but atmospheric museum offers exhibits on the author’s personal history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prague Castle<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n Prague Castle, an expansive 45-hectare complex of palaces, churches, fortifications, courtyards and gardens, was home for the kings of Bohemia and is today the official residence of the head of state. The site is included in the historical district, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Josefov (Jewish Quarter)<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n Josefov, also known as the Jewish Quarter, is a well-preserved cultural center and settlement. The Old New Synagogue, Europe’s oldest synagogue and still open for worship is in Josefov, as is the Old Jewish Cemetery. Also in the district are the Pinkas Synagogue, the Maisel Synagogue and the Spanish Synagogue. These are under the umbrella of the Jewish Museum and can be visited with a single ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pa\u0159\u00ed\u017esk\u00e1 Street<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n On the borders of the Josefov district is Pa\u0159\u00ed\u017esk\u00e1 (Paris) Street, lined with high-end shops and luxury brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Na P\u0159\u00edkop\u011b Street<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n Within walking distance of Pa\u0159\u00ed\u017esk\u00e1, is another shopping district, Na P\u0159\u00edkop\u011b. This wide and lively avenue has numerous international brands and chain stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dancing House<\/b><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n After visiting museums and historical sites, take a break to see the Dancing House. Set on the banks of the Vltava River, this very intriguing structure was designed by architect Vlado Miluni\u0107 in cooperation with Frank Gehry, who, at one point, called the building \u201cFred and Ginger\u201d due to its resemblance to the famous dancers, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dining in Prague<\/b><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n Perhaps, while strolling around Prague, you\u2019ll notice a tempting treat in the windows of various bakeries. Trdelnik is a scrumptious pastry with an important place in Slovak and Czech cuisine; rolled dough is baked on a spit and then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar \u2013 and sometimes filled with cream. Another well-known dish is goulash, a hearty beef and onion stew often served with dumplings or fresh-baked bread. Another staple of Czech cuisine is rizek, a type of pork schnitzel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting around Prague<\/b><\/p><\/h2>\n\n\n\n Buses and taxis run to the city center from Prague V\u00e1clav Havel Airport. You can buy a 90-minute ticket from the ticketing machines at the airport; take the bus number 119 and then transfer to the green metro line (A metro line) to get to the city center. Car rentals are also available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prague is an easy city to get around, with most of the main touristic attractions within walking distance of each other.
