The Old Town (Staré Mesto), founded in 1234, was the first of Prague's original five towns. Staré Mesto's ancient streets, most meandering around Old Town Square, are lined with many Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Classistic buildings, churches and theaters forming a huge museum of architecture under the open sky. As the hour approaches you will get to see a spectacle at the Astronomical Clock, one of Prague´s main attributes, taken straight from the middle ages. We will also visit the unique Jewish quarter, Josefov (on you wish with or without interiors), which kept its unique heritage during WWII, the oldest preserved synagogue in Europe is to be seen in Prague!
The New Town (Nove mesto) was founded in 1348 by Charles IV just outside the city walls of the Old Town (Staré). Prague became the 3rd largest city in Europe (after Rome and Constantinople, nowadays Istanbul). New Town's landmark is Wenceslas Square, the most famous square in the whole country for all the decisive revolutions of the 20th century took place right here. There is not a better place in Prague where you can learn about the foundation of Czechoslovakia, WWII period, Communist regime, Velvet revolution and the Velvet divorce (the split of Czechoslovakia).
