Downtown Prague - City Centre Central Prague - Czech Republic :

Prague City Centre -- Prague's city center comprises four areas, spanning the Vltava River. On one side: the Old Town (Stare Mesto) with the Old Town Square; the New Town (Nove Mesto) with Wenceslas Square; and the Jewish Quarter (Josefov). On the other side: the Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana), which leads up to Prague Castle.
Areas close to the city centre are: Vinohrady, Hradcany (at the rear of Prague Castle), Holesovice, Smichov, Karlin and Vysehrad.

OLD TOWN (Staré Mesto).
Mentioned in 1091, it is the oldest of the towns of Prague and gained the privileges of a town in the 13th century. However, its name dates back to the 14th century when the New Town was founded. The centre of the Old Town has always been the Old Town Square dominated by the Church of Our Lady of Týn and the Town Hall.

NEW TOWN (Nové Mesto)
The carefully planned New Town was founded by Charles IV in 1348. It is twice as large as the Old Town and was mainly inhabited by tradesmen and craftsmen. During the late 19th century its outer fortifications were demolished and redeveloped to its present appearance.

Welceslas Square (Václavské námìstí)
Originally a horse market, it got its present name in the mid-19th century. The Wenceslas Square is the main centre of modern Prague surrounded by shops, cinemas, office blocks, hotels, restaurants and cafés. The 750 m long and 60 m wide square has been the scene of a great deal of Czech history. In 1969 a university student Jan Palach burnt himself to death in protest against the Warsaw Pact invasion and in November 1989 protest meetings against police brutality were held here and led to the Velvet Revolution and the end of communism in Czechoslovakia. In the middle of the square is a monument of St Wenceslas on a horse accompanied with sculptures of four Czech patron saints.

JEWISH QUARTER (Josefov)
Named after the emperor Josef II, whose reforms helped to ease living conditions for the Jewish, the Jewish Quarter contains the remains of Prague's former Jewish ghetto. As many of the Jewish died during the WWII and were forced by the communist regime to leave the country, the current Prague community numbers 5000 – 6000 people. There are two figures synonymous with this part of the city, Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) and the mystical homunculus Golem created by Jehuda ben Bezalel, also known as Rabi Löw.

LESSER TOWN (Malá Strana)
The Lesser Town was founded in 1257 on the slopes below the Prague castle
Charles Bridge (Karlùv most). Named after the Emperor Charles IV in 19th century the Charles Bridge is Prague's most familiar monument. Charles IV laid the foundation stone in 1357 but did not live to see it completed in 1383. Designed by Petr Parler, this 516-m bridge with 16 graceful arches connects the Lesser Town with the Old Town. Although it is now pedestrianised, it withstood wheeled traffic for 600 years. The Charles Bridge has witnessed many dramatic events. During the Middle Ages, dishonest traders were suspended from the bridge in wicker baskets. In 1621 the heads of the executed Bohemian nobles who had fought against the Habsburgs were exhibited on the tower. The bridge also served as the venue for signing of the treaty that put an end to the Thirty Years War. There are thirty statues on the bridge; many of them have been replaced with copies. Originals are kept in the Lapidarium of the National Museum and at Vyšehrad. The magnificent Gothic Old Town Bridge Tower was designed by Petr Parler and built at the end of the 14th century. It is considered the finest Gothic tower in central Europe, mainly for its decoration. There are marvellous views of the Vltava river Valley, the Žofín, Støelecký Island, the Old Town and the Lesser Town.
