Prague

Prague is your fairytale town, with castles and colorful buildings along the Vltava River. The two main parts of the city are linked by the Charles Bridge, one of the oldest bridges in Europe.

The Old Town Square is not just marvellous to visit, it also holds the world’s oldest operating astronomical clock, installed in 1410. You can just sit there and read the time, the month and the astronomical position of the moon and sun.
