Visitors are invariably captivated by the sense of tradition that the city oozes and there are a host of interesting and iconic landmarks to explore.

While even in residential areas like Vinohrady there is plenty to explore, there are some attractions that should be at the top of everyone’s list to experience while in this beautiful city. Here are just a few, some of which can even be glimpsed in Prague airport transfers.

The castle

It is quite possible to spend an entire afternoon strolling through the extensive grounds of the famous castle. This impressive defensive complex was built at the end of the 9th century, under the leadership of Prince Borijov. It’s unfortunate that some of the traditionally luxurious interiors have deteriorated, yet ornate spiers and towers continue to dominate the surrounding city landscape. Visitors have the opportunity to see historical works of art and medieval artifacts inside the magnificent Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace and the Basilica of St. George.

charles bridge

While some visitors may even pass very close to the historic Charles Bridge during Prague airport transfers, it is advisable to return on foot. The architectural superiority of this landmark, which was built under the leadership of Charles IV in the mid-14th century, is evident. It is possible to climb the great Charles Towers and watch the river traffic making its way along the meandering Vltava River. You can also spend time browsing the market stalls and listening to local Czech musicians playing energetic folk music on the bridge.

New town

There are a number of very popular luxury hotels and apartments in Prague’s New Town, another place many travelers pass on their Prague airport transfers. The area is popular with tourists who come to look for bargains in boutiques and with locals who frequent the cinemas. Romantics along the architecturally stunning Narodne and Na Prikope streets are often interrupted by calls from local street vendors and traditional Czech buskers.

Klementinium

Visitors interested in Czech history and architecture should take some time to explore the Klementinium. This impressive complex of impressive Baroque and Rococo rooms was built in the mid-18th century and is home to the great National Library, the Astronomical Tower and the Chapel of Mirrors. Intellectuals from the surrounding area hold talks throughout the year in this fascinating learning center. Visitors can get a real appreciation for the acoustics of this structure during regular performances by the Prague Symphony Orchestra, however fans of modern music may prefer to spend their nights at places like the Palace Akropolis.
