Prague - The Golden City


Ah, Prague! The mother of cities, the golden city, and the city of a hundred spires... To visit Prague is to visit History and it’s one of my dream trips (so many places to see, so little money ...).

Prague is considered by many as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and its historic centre was declared by UNESCO a World Heritage Site in 1992.

The city has many bridges over the river Vltava and the oldest (and most beautiful, in my opinion) is Charles Bridge (2nd from the front, on the card). Its construction began in 1350 and it turned Prague into an important trade route between east and west Europe.
I think this card is amazing. It was sent to me by zas9k, from Czech Republic.
