It´sa great experience to visit Prague, for me it was a new and radical way of living. Tourism in Central Europe is great, the exception are the prices and the people that tries to take advantage on you only cause youre a visitor. The food is great and the city very pretty, I hope you enjoy my videos. Old Town (Czech: Staré Město) is the original place of settlement of Prague, Czech Republic. It was separated from the outside by a semi-circular moat and wall, connected to the Vltava at both of its ends. The moat is now covered up by the streets (from north to south-west) Revolučni, na Příkopě, and Národni--which remain the official boundary of the cadastral district of Old Town. It is now in Praha 1. After the city was expanded in the 14th century by Charles IV with the founding of the New Town, the moat and wall were therefore dismantled soon after. Notable places in the Old Town include the Old New Synagogue and the Old Town Square or Astronomical Clock. Across the river Vltava is the Lesser Quarter, called Malá Strana in Czech. These two parts of the town are connected by Charles Bridge. Josefov is located in the northwest corner of Old Town (near but without reaching the Vltava).
