The city of many towers and ice-cream-colored houses
Prague is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because its historic center has been remarkably preserved, with a stunning mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. The city reflects more than a thousand years of cultural and architectural development, from Prague Castle and Charles Bridge to the Old Town Square, making it one of Europe’s most beautiful and historically significant urban landscapes.
We weren’t only impressed by this part of Prague — we were just as captivated by the breathtaking views from other districts, such as the National Monument at Vítkov, Vyšehrad, and Riegrovy Sady, where the gaze is always drawn back toward the historic heart of the city.
As we wandered through the streets without any real plan, we were fascinated by the variety of façades: from painted walls, stucco details, glass and metal elements to the countless shades of color — from woodruff green, mint, and pistachio to cappuccino brown, strawberry pink, mango yellow, and apricot orange.
