Prague is famous for its extraordinarily well preserved historic buildings, having for the most part been spared significant damage in the major World Wars. Today we visited the Prague Castle, St. Vitus' Cathedral and St. Charles' Bridge. St. Vitus' was definitely the highlight of the day. It is the largest church in Prague, and is the home of the Archdiocese. It's a magnificent example of Gothic architecture that took some 600 years to complete, beginning in the 1344 when the archbishopric was founded. The cathedral is up on the hill in the background of this picture taken from the St. Charles' Bridge.

Very European looking city! How long was the train ride? English works OK in Prague?
Hope you are both warm and well.
Train ride was about 4 hours. English has been working fine in Prague. It's a very international city, with visitors from all over Europe. Everything is regularly printed in Czech, English and German, with many things also printed in French, Hebrew, Italian and Russian.
I like Prague. It is beautiful city with interesting history. Also I absolutely agree with you that it is international city. And last few month I'm thinking about invest in Prague property, because it is best time to do it. The Prague property market has and continues to see overwhelming demand from both foreign and local investors. And who wouldn't like to own a property in this fairytale city that pulls at your heart strings and attracts major foreign investors on the basis of economics.
Hello
I have been in Prague for 2 weeks, I absolutely loved. I was there with my friends. During the day we went to visit what the guide told us to: ) but the evening we spent them in bars. I will leave you here a list of some nice Prague music clubs you can go or if any of your fiends want to go there.
I found the city beautiful, like a fairytale land, the towers, the castles, the cathedrals….
I also found the city safe as you can see in this article from the government pages. We could always be out till late that we never had problems or ever saw any incident.
In the end it was too sad to leave. We had a real great time there, we had a lot of fun.
