Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has earned the nickname “City of a Hundred Spires.” The cobblestone streets, many of which were constructed centuries ago are lined with awe-inspiring conical structures. The first time you visit you may feel like you\u2019re on a movie set – because you are.\u00a0 Prague has been the setting for many popular movies; a few of which we\u2019ve listed below.<\/p>\n
A great way to experience Prague is via a river cruise<\/a> aboard a vessel like the Viking Prestige<\/a>, which lets you step right off and start exploring. Onboard lectures on topics ranging from Dutch painters to French impressionists to the castles along the Rhine Valley prepare you for your visit. When you cruise on the Avalon Panorama<\/a>, you\u2019ll enjoy a luxury ship that provides passengers with complimentary regional wines and beers and menus filled with chef-inspired local recipes.<\/p>\n Impressive structures<\/strong><\/p>\n After arriving in Prague, you’ll immediately be taken aback by architecture frozen for 1,000 years. St. Vitus Cathedral<\/a>, which is located with the Prague Castle<\/a>, along with City Tower and Hotel Corinthia Towers ascend over this magical location, and are sights no avid traveler should miss. Many European river cruises begin or end in Prague, so we recommend adding a day or two to your trip to see all the sights Prague has to offer.<\/p>\n Great gift shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n Following guided tours of Prague, you’ll have time to explore the locally owned shops for gifts and unique treasures for family and friends. This capital is known for little trinkets made of garnet, wood and glass. Stop by businesses like Cesk\u00fd Porcel\u00e1n, Marionety Truhl\u00e1\u0159<\/a> and Havelsk\u00fd Market for unique presents that will make even the grumpiest relative smile.<\/p>\n Movies to watch before you visit Prague<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2666 Casablanca Contact us<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t delay buying your ticket aboard an Avalon or Viking River Cruise vessel through\u00a0www.CruiseExperts.com<\/a>.
