Situated on the Vltava river (Moldau), Prague is home to about 1.4 million people. <br /> Prague is a political, cultural, and economic hub of Central Europe, with a rich history and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably Charles IV (r. 1346–1378) and Rudolf II (r. 1575–1611). It was an important city to the Habsburg monarchy and Austria-Hungary. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and the Protestant Reformations, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the post-war Communist era. <br /> Population: 1,384,700 (2024)<br /> Elevation: 172 - 399 meters<br /> Area: 496.21 km2<br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Prague</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/paranoidfs/">Paranoid from suffolk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/paranoidfs/55068456288/" title="Windows"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55068456288_7b91d393b8_m.jpg" width="240" height="108" alt="Windows" /></a></p> <p>The New Synagogue, Prague</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55067955599/" title="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6959 Rt 18 @ Mánesův most (0425)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55067955599_f4b9ee51f9_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6959 Rt 18 @ Mánesův most (0425)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55067955564/" title="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 7026 Rt 22 @ Malostranská (0445)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55067955564_0f13d3162f_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 7026 Rt 22 @ Malostranská (0445)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55067704541/" title="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6903 Rt 24 @ Václavské náměstí (0522)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55067704541_0b38fa969c_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6903 Rt 24 @ Václavské náměstí (0522)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55066800077/" title="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6951 Rt 23 @ Letenská (0488)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55066800077_cd0ef35725_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6951 Rt 23 @ Letenská (0488)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55067704546/" title="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 7001 Rt 23 @ Hellichova (2757)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55067704546_6ec8ce6c3d_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 7001 Rt 23 @ Hellichova (2757)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/147169018@N06/">Earthman.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/147169018@N06/55067483610/" title="Holy Trinity Column in Prague"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55067483610_4a8ef44a01_m.jpg" width="167" height="240" alt="Holy Trinity Column in Prague" /></a></p> <p>At the top of Malostranské Square, in front of the Church of St Nicholas, the beautiful monument of The Trinity Column is situated. The column was built in 1715 to commemorate the terrible plague which hit Prague in 1713-14 and was made by sculptor František Herstorfer according to a design by Giovanni Batista Alliprandi. The column is 20m high and decorated with a statue of the Holy Trinity and the Czech patron saints. Three fountains around the column symbolise the sources of life, mercy and salvation.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/paranoidfs/">Paranoid from suffolk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/paranoidfs/55066854974/" title="River Police Of Prague"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55066854974_d45c989827_m.jpg" width="240" height="170" alt="River Police Of Prague" /></a></p> <p>Out on a shout on the Vtlava river.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55066583409/" title="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6706 Rt 7 @ Strašnická (0552)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55066583409_fde2803a2a_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6706 Rt 7 @ Strašnická (0552)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55066331931/" title="CZ Prague DPP Tatra T3 6728 Rt 10 @ I.P.

Vavřince (Cathedral of Saint Lawrence). In the distance over the Vltava river the new town (Nové Město). Try to spot the Tančící dům (Dancing house). <br /> <br /> <u>Petřín Tower</u><br /> The Petřín Lookout Tower (Czech: Petřínská rozhledna) is a steel-framework tower 63.5 metres tall on Petřín Hill in Prague, built in 1891. It resembles the Eiffel Tower and was used as an observation tower as well as a transmission tower. Today the tower is a major tourist attraction. <br /> <br /> The Petřín Hill is roughly a half-hour walk up paths and the tower is also quite an arduous climb; however, the hill is served by a frequent Petřín funicular and the tower has an elevator for elderly and disabled people. In 2014 the tower was visited by more than 557,000 visitors, with foreigners accounting for over 70% of said visitors.<br /> <br /> The two observation platforms are accessible via 299 stairs in sections of 13 per flight running around the inside of the structure. A pair of staircases form a double-helix structure allowing visitors travelling up and down concurrently.<br /> <br /> Petřín Lookout Tower is often described a smaller version of the Eiffel Tower, which is 328m tall. In contrast to the Eiffel Tower, Petřín Lookout Tower has an octagonal, not square, cross-section. Further, it does not stand, as does the Eiffel Tower, on four columns of lattice steel. The whole area under its legs is covered with the entrance hall.<br /> <br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet%c5%99%c3%adn_Lookout_Tower" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Petřín Lookout Tower</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/paranoidfs/">Paranoid from suffolk</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/paranoidfs/55065643801/" title="The Book Tower of Prague"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55065643801_5047624226_m.jpg" width="108" height="240" alt="The Book Tower of Prague" /></a></p> <p>Municiple library, Prague <br /> 8000 books and a couple of mirrors to create an infinity tower.</p>
