A thousand of years have passed since Prague was established. It no longer has such a young and thoughtless face; as if a young lady became an old woman with a skin being so wrinkled. Pavings, houses and landmarks grow old together with Prague. The rocky tiles, being smoothened by thousands of feet promenading on them in the every day repeating process, pressing them, changing their structure and pushing them deeper and deeper into the ground, shine in the light of the afternoon sun as a mirror. The majestic and proud Prague castle resembles the glorious times of the fame. Behind the Prague castle, there is a part called Hradčany hiding in its shadow, feeling so good getting a calm place like that. The Prague castle, as a monarch, looks down to the Vltava River valley and observes the river flow meandering as a giant snake through the whole Prague, ending at the huge distance as the tributary of a bigger river – the river Elbe.

The air is full of groans coming from giant metal bells of the Lesser Town announcing all the news that the bell-ringers want to communicate to the world. At night, there are said to be footsteps of the earthen Golem monster echoing from the old Jewish Town. Golem is said to be walking through the city frightening the right-minded citizens. Streets of the New Town, looking so brief, narrow and strict would take you to the Vyšehrad, where the brave Horymír jumped to save his life on its loyal horse called Šemík out of the peak into the mighty current of the Vltava River.

The key to find out the right atmosphere of Prague is to listen attentively to spirit of the city. While walking through the streets, the spirit will speak softly to your ears, telling you the old stories of the city. If you want to get to know the spirit, to understand what he is talking about, just listen attentively. Each stone, pillar, or memorial in Prague has its own story. The spirit has been staying there for hundreds of years so he has seen so much interesting things that you might have never dreamt about. Touch the old walls and stones, grab an old door handle ornamented with the lion’s head, or approach your ear and listen to the voice of the ancient monument…close your eyes and hear it…he is telling you “Welcome, this is Prague, just come in!”.
