The cities of Eastern Europe are somehow similar in sympathy. In the abyss of sad self-irony, a special Slavic chic of tragedy and doom is concealed. Predefined rock. Destination, special path.

Hence the complete recklessness and easy snobbery is the eternal "all or nothing" and in general, the "mysterious Slavic soul". In addition, the East of Europe is the border. And even the name of the city of Prague, for example, comes from the word "threshold". In the sense that there Europe rests on the unknown edges of the dense neighbors. And on the borders is always good. There are combined blood and fate, which is simultaneously honey geography and history.

Most of the sights in Prague, of course, in the old town. One of the most famous places in the Czech capital is the Jewish ghetto. A small area - a quarter of an hour of unhurried walking - is rich in history and architectural beauty. Everything here breathes antiquity: from the ancient temple walls near the Old Cemetery and the Jewish Town Hall (on the tower of which the clock hands on the clock face marked with Jewish letters go in the opposite direction) to Paris Street

Despite the abundance of echoes of the past, this area of ​​the city is almost the most expensive in Europe. Here delicious desserts in French and Italian confectionery, the finest dishes of haute cuisine in restaurants, and clothing - certainly the best brands of European brands.

A masterpiece of architecture and architecture, which framed the waters of this river, is rightfully considered the Charles Bridge. The period of its construction - the Middle Ages, time, loving sculptures, bas-reliefs, statues. Those on the Charles Bridge - more than three dozen.

Prague borrows from the rest of the cities of Western Europe the tedious beauty of the Middle Ages. Any Czech city in general is the charm of an old center with patterns of rough streets and a quiet shine of comfortable new buildings. The sleeping areas with designer toys, like bones left on the field of the game, are sent to the Soviet homeland, from where we all, like pupae, puffed up. A fortress, built by Ottomans, Spaniards, Austrians or Italians, pour currents of beautiful antiquity into the city's veins.

The elderly ladies and elderly men wear hats, mufflers, and the umbrellas here - for all of them - are full of streets. Brilliant, bright spokes in rounded architecture alleys.

Prague means "Threshold". Everything here breathes this side of the Slavic East and West, antiquity and modernity, European elegance and Slavic simplicity. Centuries weave into a freakish pattern, giving out the pictures of dazzling beauty.
