Czech Republic Itinerary for Prague 4 days

Prague An Introduction
Over the course of centuries Prague has earned, thanks to its favorable location in the very heart of Europe, a position as an important and wealthy town. A centre of political, social and cultural life from the start, Prague unlike other European metropolises was fortunate enough to survive intact and preserve its architectural gems unscathed in spite of regions troubled history. That is why Prague has no match elsewhere in offering such a striking overview of European Architecture, ranging from Romanesque to the contemporary. It is therefore small wonder that the city is included on the UNESCO List of World Cultural Heritage as the largest urban monument reserve in the world. However, ancient stone historical monuments are one thing and a living city quite another. The modern metropolis can provide its visitors with every manner of comfort they may required during their stay, including perfect hotel services, the very best in gastronomy and an excellent choice of cultural, social and sports experiences. However, what makes Prague a really exceptional city is its singular atmosphere. Prague can be compared to a theater stage, only its historical sets are authentic and the plot of the play is real life in the present time.
