Prague is the capital of Czech Republic and its largest city. This city is famous for its unique medieval architecture of the city center, inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Prague is above all a city to visit without haste, venturing into the medieval streets and hidden passages of Staré Město (Old Town), strolling through the many tree-lined parks or taking a boat trip along the Vltava (Moldava).
To really see Prague 4-5 days are enough to cover the highlights. A week would be perfect. The charm of Prague is often so compelling that many visitors stay there much longer than expected.
The best times to visit the city are the spring and early autumn when the weather is mild and there are few crowds.
