Celebrating
more than 1,000 years of history, Prague is the Czech Republic's
enchanting capital, with architecture spanning many styles from
classical to rococo. Rich in historical monuments and churches,
Prague has become known as the "City of A Hundred Spires."
Visitors will have to choose from a wide variety of stunning
landmarks in this beautiful city, with selections including
Hradcany Castle, Golden Gate, St. Vitus' Cathedral, and shopping
along the Golden Lane, a street of shops originally built as
castle guards' homes.
This
enchanting and exotic capital of Hungary straddles the banks
of the Danube and is divided into two distinct parts,
traditional Buda and more modern Pest. Budapest is aptly
called "Paris of the East," for its beautiful evening
illumination and reflected lights in the Danube's waters. The
old city features amazing examples of architecture such as
Buda Castle, the baroque Parliament building, Chain Bridge and
Matthias church, where the coronation ceremonies of Hungarian
Kings were held. Gellert Hill, high above the city, offers
not-to-be missed views.
