Praha

With over 1000 years of history and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, its no wonder it belong to t he most visited cities.

The historic city centre was designated a Unesco World Heritage Site back in 1992, its charm makes this one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Situated on the Vltava River in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural and economic centre of Czech Republic.

The district of Praha 1 is the oldest part of the city and has the densest number of attractions. Prague has become the most popular travel destination in Central Europe along with Budapest and Krakow.

Founded in the later 9th century, and soon became the seat of Bohemian kings, some of whom ruled as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. The city thrived under the rule of Charles IV, who ordered the building of the New Town in the 14th century - many of the city's most important attractions date back to that age.

The city also went under Habsburg rule and became the capital of a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1918, after World War I, the city became the capital of Czechoslovakia. In 1993, Czechoslovakia split into two countries and Prague became capital city of the new Czech Republic.

My time in Prague was short and unfortunate to have a cold snap in June which dampenned my experience, still, Prague really left me with feeling like I had visted some fantasy out of Walt Disney, the buildings and achitecture simply have the wow appeal.

Charles Bridge, Old Town Centre and the Jewish Quarter will amaze any visitor, with breathtaking views and a charm like a sparkling jewel, any visit to Europe should include a visit here and remains one of my best places I've ever visited, and hopefully visit again.
