Prague, also known as "Golden Prague" or the "city with a thousand towers, is so versatile that it is nearly impossible to take it all in. The best way to see Prague is on foot and by public transportation. A day ticket costs € ± 3 and a 7-day ticket costs ± 10 €.- On a small list of attractions that should not be missed: Hradcany (Prague Castle) with its Presidential Palace; Vitus Cathedral; 22 Golden Street, where Franz Kafka worked; the Strahov Monastery; and Petřín Hill which offers a fantastic view of the city. In the Mala Strana (Lesser Town) Quarter you can admire the baroque Nikolai Church and Palace of Waldstein as well as many other palaces, gardens, churches, small shops, antique stores and restaurants. Cross over the Vltava River via the Charles Bridge, lined with painters, souvenir vendors and street musicians, to the Josefov (Jewish) Quarter with its synagogue, Jewish cemetery, impressive monastery complex and St. Agnes. In the Old Town (Stare Mesto) you can stroll across the square, with Jan Hus monument, Nikolai Týn Church and the Old Town Hall with the astronomical clock. Then head to Wenceslas Square, the shopping center of Prague. Here you will find a memorial for Jan Palach, the statue of St. Wenceslas and the National Museum.
