The mission of preserving cultural heritage is important [...]
The New World in Prague — Photo of the Day
Prague is a modern, bustling city, but behind its crowds of busy locals and gawking tourists is a quiet side. The tiny area of Nový Svět (“New World”), tucked just beyond Prague Castle, is so perfectly cute that I forget I am in a big city. Wander its curving cobbled lanes for a step back in time [...]
Charles Bridge, Prague — Photo of the Day

Many of its small buildings are intricately painted, and all have pointed, sloping roofs. Its enormous 14th-century castle and maze of well-preserved alleys rest in the hills of the Blanský [...]
Explore Kutná Hora with Me
One of my favorite places in the Czech Republic is Kutná Hora, a small city in the Czech Republic about 40 miles east of Prague.

It lies in the hills of southern Bohemia, the western half of the Czech Republic, on a winding section of the Vltava River. The old part of town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has beautiful old [...]
