It would be hard to mention all interesting sights of Prague in one article, it’s worth a whole book, but here we are trying to focus on the best places in Prague that are generally preferred by tourists and photographs.
1. Prague Castle: The breathtaking fort on the hill, visible from most parts of the city as a result of its scale and position, was built by the Premyslids and makes for a great days exploration in and around the many churches, palaces, gardens and galleries.

2. Old Town Square: The central square of this fine city has been a market since before the middle ages, and bore witness to many a bloodshed deposition of regime and royalty. The towers of the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn are a beautiful sight to admire whilst sipping coffee in the square below. Prague Old Town Hotels and Apartments

3. Charles Bridge: As the main pedestrian link between the castle and the old town, Charles Bridge is heaving in summer but a worthwhile sight all the same. Offering splendid views of the riverside facades of Prague and lined with beautiful carved statues of former residents, its a great place to make a morning crossing or a midnight stroll.

4. St Vitus’s Cathedral: As the centerpiece of the castle complex, and over 500 years in the making, it makes a great viewpoint at the top of the southern tower. The crypts are a must see also, as the resting place of Bohemia’s Holy Roman Emperors.
5. Mala Strana: In the past Mala Strana was called Male Mesto Prazske (Lesser Town of Prague). Male Mesto Prazske was created in 1257 by amalgamating a number of settlements beneath the Prague Castle. The newly-founded town got the permission to be a royal town, and many more privileges. The residents were mostly German craftsmen, invited by the King. Even though the city was royal, the King did not master the city as a whole. By the middle of the century the city was renamed Mala Strana. Today the Mala Strana is one of the most romantic district of Prague. Prague Mala Strana Apartments and Lesser Town Hotels
6. St Agnes’s Convent: This is the home of the National Gallery’s collection of medieval art and remains a monument to its founder, a princess who abandoned a life at court in the name of her faith. It is Prague’s oldest Gothic building and a worthy item on the itinerary.
7. The Loreto: This shrine to the Virgin Mary, erected in the 7th Century, has drawn countless visitors to gaze upon the priceless ornaments and take in the Baroque facade.
8. National Museum: The National museum in Prague is intended to systematically establish, prepare and publicly exhibit natural scientific and historical collections. It was founded 1818 in Prague by Kaspar Maria Sternberg and Historian Frantisek Palacky. At present the National Museum houses almost 14 million items from the area of natural history, history, arts, music and librarianship, located in tens of buildings.
9. Petrin Hill: The wooded hill above Mala Strana on the castle side of town is a maze of paths and offers visitors the best views of the city. The ancient Ukranian church is an architectural masterpiece.
10. Wenceslas Square: Whilst not the most affecting corner of prague, a wide boulevard not littered with commercial enterprise, its significance in the Velvet Revolution and beyond is apparent through various monuments lining this important square. Hotels in the Wenceslas Square also as Apartments
