Prague - the golden city on the Vltava River. History has always been written here. Whether it was the Defenestration of Prague that triggered the Thirty Years' War or Genscher's moving speech in September 1989 that allowed thousands of East German citizens to emigrate to West Germany. However, there is much more to discover in the streets along the Old Town Square than just Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge. Wolfgang Dömling guides the reader on selected walks past magnificent palaces and churches to tranquil and memorable places, always following in the footsteps of great authors like Franz Kafka, Bohumil Hrabal, Rainer Maria Rilke, and many others. Includes city map excerpts and a service section.
