Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic. We visited the city for 3 days. It is a beautiful city which I would say must see. The second day, we covered Old town square, Astronomical clock (Prague Orloj), Paternoster lift at Prague city hall, Prague municipal library, Head statue of Franz Kafka, Letna hill, Dancing House, etc.

Prague is home to a number of well-known cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th-century Europe. Main attractions include Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the Prague astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, Petřín hill and Vyšehrad.

1. Old Town Square: The most significant square of historical Prague, it was founded in the 12th century and has been witness to many historical events. In addition to the Old Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady before Týn, the square is dominated by the Baroque Church of St Nicholas, the Rococo Kinský Palace, the Gothic House at the Stone Bell and the monument to Jan Hus. In the pavement of the square are memorial stones marking the execution of 27 Czech lords in 1621, and the Prague meridian. It is so beautiful that it makes the city must visit.

2. Astronomical Clock (Prague Orloj): It is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest clock still operating.

3. Paternoster lift: An elevator with no door that doesn’t stop or slow down sounds like a sci-fi nightmare. A slightly weird and fun thing to do is to keep riding the lift while it reaches the bottom or top floor, where it shakes and rumbles, goes very dark, and moves sideways, which is an interesting experience! By definition these things are not accessible to people with disabilities - you have to be fairly quick on the mark to jump in and jump off!

4. Dancing House: a highly original building resembling and also inspired by two dancers – the immortally famous duo of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

5. Head statue of Franz Kafka: Open 24 hours. https://goo.gl/maps/MjoZVPDoXypUCeLS9
