Review of my trip to Prague


Prague is said to be city lying in the heart of Europe. It is the capital and the largest city in the Czech Republic. Situated on the Vltava river in central Bohemia, it is home to approximately 1.2 million people. Nicknames for Prague have included "city of a hundred spires" and "the golden city". Since 1992, the historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
I was with my class in Prague 5 days ago. The trip abided for three days. We went to Prague by train. I was very surprised, because the train journey was quite silent.We lived in some hostel on Žižkov. It was altogether very old Sokol house and it didn’t enjoy me. In our room were 15 class mates and I think, that it was a lot! It was quite far from centre. But we liked travelling by metro and street car:)
I visited many monuments such as Petřín, Prague castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, The Church of St. Nicolas, Charles Bridge, The Astronomical Clock, Týn Church, The Common house, The Powder Gate, National Museum and The Estates Theatre.
In National Museum I saw Věstonická Venuše. I was very surprised, because it is very small. And after that I visited the Mineralogy exhibition, because it is for me interesting. The other parts are Anthropology exhibition, Zoology exhibition, Pre-history exhibition, Palaeontology exhibition, Library and Gallery of the pantheon.
Out of memories, I was in IMAX. It is 3D cinema. I was very an big experience for me. The film be called The Blessed castle, but it fortunately for me wasn’t be ghostly.

Tke last day I was with my friend on Dresses exhibitions by Blanca Matragi in The Common house. It was never-to-be-forgotten experience for me, because dresses were beautiful and I stroked as princes…

The most famous are Hradčany, with Prague Castle which was founded in the 19. century. Prague became a centre of European significance during the reign of the king and emperor Charles IV. who established the New Town and Charles University.The full name of the cathedral is St. Vitus, St. Wenceslas and St. Adalbert Cathedral. Here are located Prague the tombs of many Czech kings and the crown jewels are housed. This cathedral is an excellent example of Gothic architecture and is the biggest and most important church in the country.The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.Charles Bridge is a famous historical bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river in Prague, Charles Bridge used to be the most important connection between the Old Town, Prague Castle and adjacent areas until 1841.
