Venice of Prague – River Canal Boat Trips
For some it suffices to see the Prague Castle with its palace of princes. For others, the Old Town Square with its fantastical Astronomical Clock and its houses of aldermen. Yet whosoever wishes to see Prague must set sail on the river Vltava.

Prague has approximately 1.3 million inhabitants and covers an area of almost 500 square kilometres, It originated around 1000 A.D. and for many years remained a group of independent villages. Under the rule of Charles IV (14th century) medieval Prague experienced its greatest development. At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries the city gained further renown owing to Emperor Rudolf II.

Prague 2 tour
Just a short walk away from Prague’s most tourist-thronged historical monuments there are interesting places where you can encounter an everyday atmosphere. It is well worth making the effort to leave the well-worn Royal Route since other parts of Prague have pleasant surprises in store too.

Prague Tours – Charles Brigde (Karluv most)
For all Its antiquity Charles Bridge is far from being the first structure to bridge the River Vltava, and the name by which we know it these days first appeared only in 1870, when its name was changed from Stone Bridge to Charles Bridge. The fact is that as far back as the 10th century Prague had a bridge, perhaps situated where Manes Bridge stands today. Historical sources refer to a wooden bridge, which most likely withstood the incursions of flooding for more than two hundred years.

PRAGUE SHOPPING: Jewelery Shop
The range of Czech costume jewelery is extraordinarily wide and is based on the production of the basic element of costume jewellery – glass beads, listing all the types, forms and color variations of glass beads which are produced in Jablonec and Zeleny Brod Districts would probably require a lot of work and take many years – hundreds of types of the most common bead – the rokaji – are produced.
