PRAGUE, Czech Republic
The capital of the Czech Republic, has always played an important role in the history of the country and Europe. Since the Middle Ages Prague has been famous as one of the most beautiful cities of the world. The unique character of the city is also partly a consequence of its natural environment: Prague, similar to Rome built on seven hills, was built on nine hills along the Vltava river, which flows through the city for a distance of 31 km and forms a perfect unit with the city. The dominant features of the city architecture are reflected in the river: towers, church spires and cupolas, palaces and town houses, along with the greenery of gardens, parks and islands. You can see many Prague monuments from the banks of Kampa Island. From one side, there is a view of Prague Castle, St Vitus Cathedral and Charles Bridge. The other side offers views of the National Theatre.
KRAKOW, Poland
500 years as the royal capital and largely untouched during the devastating destruction during the world wars, gives Krakow the unique distinction of still being the countries biggest drawcard. The old town with the largest market square in Europe and its soaring Gothic & Renaissance architecture just begs to be explored on foot. At the former Jewish quarter Kazimierz get a glimpse into the life of a Jew during the second world war.
