Prague is the most fortunate of all European cities; fortunate because its skyline was never touched by the ravages of war and because it essential appearance was never scarred by the addition of modern eyesores. Viewed from the Castle Hill, the historical center, whose hundreds of rooftops reflect the golden patina of the midday sun, clings to the gently curving bend in the River Vltava (also called the Moldau). Its banks seem to be only just held together by the filigreed constructions of its bridges: on the one side lies the Lesser Quarter and on the other side the Old Town. Romantic, elegant and central to many of the most important periods in European history, Prague has developed rapidly as a tourist destination since the demise of the Eastern Bloc, while managing to retain its unique charms.
