Wanna know more about Prague ? The city of Prague has surprised me the most for its architecture. Several styles are gathered in one building or area. Builders basically kept the first building and added up new rooms or walls from different architecture style or century which at the end give a beautiful picture. The convenient size of the city gives the opportunity to walk to one place to another. If you love exploring secret places or narrow streets, Prague has plenty.
