Founded by Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in 1348, the New Town was supposed to be the Jerusalem of Eastern Europe. Perhaps the most famous sight is the 820-yard long Wenceslas Square, which now flaunts businesses, shops and hotels. Dating back to the 11th century, Prague\u2019s Old Town gushes with history and architectural wonders. Styles from Romanesque to Art Nouveau sparkle through the labyrinthine streets, alleys and passageways that seem to jump right out of Franz Kafka\u2019s novel The Trial. The impressive Old Town Hall, with a 60-meter tower at one end, was built in 1338. On the 15<sup>th<\/sup> century astronomical clock, Death tips an hour glass and rings a bell before the 12 apostles march by, the cock crows, and another bell rings. The plight of the Jews across the centuries becomes almost tangible in the former Prague Jewish Ghetto, given that most of the area is made up of the Jewish Museum that includes four synagogues and a cemetery.<\/p>\n<p>Originally a series of small settlements outside Prague Castle\u2019s fortifications with an ethnic German population, the Lesser Town is dotted with lavish homes built by Czech nobility. The Infant Jesus of Prague and the John Lennon Wall are other attractions this quarter has to offer. Prague Castle, the largest castle complex in the world, is a highlight of any tour of Prague. This stunning architectural achievement, which took centuries to complete, reigns supreme from a hill above the rest of the city. The Castle, founded in 870, is also the seat of the Czech president. Dominating the complex is the breathtaking, mostly Gothic Saint Vitus\u2019 Cathedral, which took a staggering 1,000 years to build. Under Emperor Charles IV, Prague Castle was the seat of the Holy Roman Empire. During darker days, Adolf Hitler occupied it.In rosier times, first democratic president Tom\u00e1\u0161 G. Masaryk and dissident-playwright-turned president V\u00e1clav Havel ran the country from here.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><u>Day 3:<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>6 hour private guided tour to Terezin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During this Prague \u2013 Terezin Concentration Camp tour, you will learn about World War II and its impact on former Czechoslovakia.
