Prague widely known as Prague, is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated along the banks of the Vltava River, this fairy-tale metropolis was the historical capital of Bohemia and a primary residence for several Holy Roman Emperors. Because its historic core escaped the heavy bombings of World War II, the city showcases a remarkably preserved architectural tapestry that spans a millennium, earning it a spot as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors flock to walk across the iconic 14th-century Charles Bridge, watch the medieval Astronomical Clock strike the hour in the Old Town Square, and explore the massive Prague Castle complex that dominates the city's skyline.
