Prague

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | In the Czech Republic, we visit Prague to experience its massive castle, beloved statue-lined bridge, evocative Jewish Quarter, and thrilling 20th-century history while enjoying its infectious love of music and perhaps the best beer in Europe. With a beautifully preserved Old Town, Prague deserves its nickname: the Golden City of a Hundred Spires. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #prague

Prague at night is magical

[@Alexbrodbeck1096]

The Moldau by Smetana is one of the most famous symphonies for classic music fans. I've always been moved by its tunes. It was like a vivid picture of Slavic folk's lives : the country dance, the flowing river, and finally the sea that takes it as the final destination. The song mimics a river of human lives with its ebb and flow, its joy and grief, laughter and moan.

[@anndeakin1508]

Prague my favourite City with bridges,church,river,cemetery’s,music Jewish area ,art museums and life style.A great holiday location one I adored with parks and walks in the sideways and music to savour at concerts that showed the gifts of musicians.The clocks a feature to behold.Saw. s Set. of plays and concerts i situs where the artists played.A. majestic city .Toured in 198/9s great times.Ann Deakin 28th November 20#0.

Prague is very beautiful city. I stayed there for 3 days and it was most memorable! People are very good, soft natured and helpful. More interestingly people understand English very well. I found many Indian restaurants with good food and was very happy. Hope I will get chance to visit this astonishing city again.

Learning about Smetana and his struggle as a deaf composer made me realize how much I will enjoy Prague when i visit! Thank you rick steves! I would Encourage anyone to visit the Bedrich Smetana Museum! I know I will. I hope to see a 1st. String Quartet in E Minor perfomrance; all four movements! If anyone has had the amazing opportunity to listen to it live, id love to hear back about your experience!

The first glimsed of Prague - Chech - was in the film Schindler's List " only that was a war story - where Hitler - really reserved it - perhaps he fell in love too - that's why it was not touched -
