The main sightseeing areas of Prague are separated by the Vltava River. On the left bank there is the Prague Castle area and the Lesser Town. The right bank is home to the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, and the New Town. Spanning the Vltava River and connecting the Old Town and Lesser Town is the beautiful Charles Bridge. Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings line the streets and squares, the most famous of which is Wenceslas Square, scene to some of the most dramatic events in Czech history. |
