Tips from the community
With its ornate 80-meter-high spires and stunning Gothic architecture, this 14th-century church is one of the most recognizable buildings in Prague. Wander inside to check out the Baroque altarpiece paintings from the 1600s, the Crucifixion sculpture, and the 17th-century pipe organs.

Prague’s best historical highlights
travelfreak (Jeremy Foster) Unlike many other European cities, Prague escaped World War I and World War II relatively unscathed and undamaged from falling bombs and other destruction. The result is a nearly perfectly-preserved historic Old Town, and plenty of other still-standing neighborhoods around it. Castles, cathedrals, Gothic bridges, and even giant clocks are all part of the city’s far-reaching history, and so you’ll learn a thing or two while visiting these important landmarks. This list includes everything from ancient historical sites to medieval structures and slightly more modern pieces of noteworthy architecture, like sleek new buildings and even a graffiti wall where locals once aired their grievances.
