The historic centre of Prague was formed by four historic districts, spanning both banks of the river Vltava. On the right bank there is the Old Town with the picturesque Old Town Square next to the Jewish Quarter and the New Town with the Wenceslas Square. The Baroque Little Town and the Castle District with the monumental Prague Castle are situated on the left bank of the river.   More about Prague.

The best enjoyment of Prague is guaranteed on foot. The historic centre is a maze of narrow, one-way streets between pedestrian zones. The sights are close to each other. For longer distances a car may be arranged on request.
