Prague

Europe

The Key Experience

Prague is one of my top 5 favorite cities in the entire world. Many of the buildings and structures in the city's Old Town and historic center were built from the 11th to the 18th century. Among them are Gothic churches, Renaissance theaters, Baroque town halls, and neoclassical commercial buildings — one of the most outstanding urban ensembles in Central Europe to have survived since the Middle Ages.

It is also believed that the architectural works of Prague have influenced not just the architectural landscape of the Czech Republic, but quite possibly the rest of Europe as well. The history of this city spans 1,100 years, and many claim that this history can be documented through its architectural development. There have been a collection of various architectural expressions and styles that are now visible on the urban landscape of the city. It is part of the reason Prague is so popular with visitors — they feel like they have walked back in time to the Middle Ages and the Gothic period.

The Historic Center of Prague was inscribed as a UNESCO cultural world heritage site in 1992 — one of few cities in Europe to survive from the Middle Ages with continuous urban development from then to the present. Prague is a true architectural masterpiece.
