View Cruise DealPrague, a city renowned for its architectural splendour and historical depth, offers a myriad of experiences that transcend time. The city, gracefully straddling the Vltava River, is not just the capital of the Czech Republic but also a cultural epicentre that has inspired artists, writers and musicians for centuries.
One of the most captivating experiences in Prague is a visit to the Prague Castle. Perched atop a hill overlooking the city, this castle complex is a breathtaking testament to Prague’s medieval and modern history. Dating back to the 9th century, it has been a seat of power for kings, emperors and presidents. Visitors can explore the stunning St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace and the Golden Lane, each offering a unique glimpse into the city's rich history. The castle grounds also provide some of the best panoramic views of Prague, with the city’s array of spires and red roofs stretching out below.
Another must-visit attraction is a leisurely stroll across the Charles Bridge. This iconic stone bridge, connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town (Malá Strana), is lined with statues of saints and offers picturesque views of the Vltava River. The bridge is a microcosm of Prague’s artistic and architectural heritage, with each statue telling its own story. Street artists, musicians and vendors add to the bridge’s lively atmosphere, making it a perfect place to soak in the spirit of Prague. At either end of the bridge, beautiful towers rise, offering an opportunity to climb up and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the bustling bridge and the city beyond.
A short distance from the port, the Old Town Square is the historic heart of Prague. This square is surrounded by magnificent buildings, including the Old Town Hall with its famous Astronomical Clock, the Týn Church and the Baroque St. Nicholas Church. The Astronomical Clock, dating back to the 15th century, is a marvel of medieval engineering. Every hour, crowds gather to watch the clock’s procession of the Twelve Apostles. The square is not just a hub of architectural wonders; it’s also a vibrant area filled with cafes, shops and street performers. The Old Town Square is especially enchanting during the Christmas and Easter markets, where it transforms into a festive wonderland.
