Some call it the city of romance, the city of a thousand spires, the golden city, the most beautiful city in Europe, or the heart of Europe. The Old Town Square of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, bustles with life. Its red-tiled roofs and yellow walls are what many imagine when they think of this ancient city. It is also a city rich in cultural heritage. Stay and Travel allows travelers to rediscover another world, and its wealth of UNESCO World Heritage Sites may just drive collectors wild!

If you’re planning a trip to Europe, where would you go? The Czech capital, Prague, which preserves numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is known as the City of a Thousand Spires in Europe. The city includes not only the Old Town and New Town, but also areas such as Hradčany, Prague Castle District, and Malá Strana. The most famous attraction in the Old Town is undoubtedly the view over Old Town Square, the image the world has of Prague. Untouched by war, the square features a mix of distinctive Gothic and Renaissance buildings.

After strolling through the Old Town, where retro and modern elements blend, head to Wenceslas Square in the New Town — comparable to Paris’s Champs-Élysées. It was the site of the 1968 Prague Spring. The broad avenue is lined with elegant classical buildings, and statues in the square carry the spirit symbols of Czech independence and freedom. Today, this square has become the most bustling part of the city center, dotted with outdoor café terraces.

Across the Vltava River from the Old and New Towns lie the Castle District and Malá Strana, where you can enjoy the rare tranquility of Prague from above. It’s also a treasure trove for understanding classic Czech culture. The stunning visuals of St. Nicholas Church, St. Vitus Cathedral, and the Old Royal Palace will fulfill any collector's fascination with Prague.
