Things to do in Voznice

Stretching as far as 750 metres through the heart of Prague, the long boulevard of Wenceslas Square (Václavské Náměstí) is the focal point of the New Town. Here you can join the locals who flock here to take a walk or eat out. The square is also the beginning of Prague’s main shopping area, as well as a lively local haunt by night.

Prague is a city famous across the world for its picturesque and historic cityscape, rather than for its garish modern architecture. Therefore, you will easily appreciate why the city’s Dancing House (Tančící Dům) was met with so much controversy when it was built in the mid-1990s. A curved B-shaped glass building, it stands in stark contrast to the surrounding buildings and is visited eagerly by modern architecture buffs as well as regular visitors who like to eat at its popular restaurant.

The Czech National Museum (Národní Muzeum) is a collection of museums that showcase the varied aspects of Czech and international culture. See art exhibits and learn about the nation’s revered composers. Explore the traditions of Czech folkloric communities and indigenous groups from around the world. Marvel at the architecture of the Czech National Museum’s buildings, many of which are attractions in themselves.

Walk in the footsteps of Czech kings at the fairytale-like Karlštejn Castle (Hrad Karlštejn). Glimpse inside lavishly decorated chapels, rooms and palaces. Admire displays of antique art and views from a 197-foot-tall (60-meter) tower. Karlštejn Castle commands a magnificent setting on a hilltop overlooking the Berounka River and rolling green countryside.

Visit Petřín Lookout Tower (Petřínská rozhledna) to experience one of the best views of Prague’s magnificent cityscape and countryside. This spot is a photographer’s dream, with major city landmarks visible in all directions. Petřín Lookout Tower opened in 1891 as part of the Prague Jubilee Exhibition, a centennial celebration of the city’s first world’s fair.
