Praha District
Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Prague has become one of Europe's (and the world's) most popular tourist destinations. It is the sixth most-visited European city after London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Berlin. Prague suffered considerably less damage during World War II than some other major cities in the region, allowing most of its historic architecture to stay true to form. It contains one of the world's most pristine and varied collections of architecture, from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern. Some of the most known sights are: Old Town (Staré Město) with its Old Town Square The Astronomical Clock The picturesque Charles Bridge New Town (Nové město) with its busy and historic Wenceslas Square Malá Strana (Lesser Quarter) Prague Castle (the largest castle in the world) with its St. Vitus Cathedral Josefov (the old Jewish quarter) with Old Jewish Cemetery and Old New Synagogue Jan Žižka equestrian statue in Vítkov park, Žižkov - Prague 3.
