The place, which we are offering to you via Waymark coordinates, is beautiful and unusually quiet. You can spend here hours sitting on bench or in the grass among apple and cherry trees. Especially at evenings, when sun is behind you a shines over the City, are vistas stunning... The area is public park with free 24-hrs access in all seasons.


Prague (In Czech: Praha) is the capital of the Czech Republic. Situated on the River Vltava in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural, and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. The city is home to more than 1.2 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 2 million. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Nicknames for Prague have included "The mother of cities" (Praga mater urbium), "City of a hundred spires" and "The golden city".

Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Prague has become one of Europe's (and the world's) most popular tourist destinations. It is the 6th most-visited European city after London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Berlin. Prague suffered marginal damage during World War II than some other major European cities, allowing most of its historic architecture to stay true to form. It contains one of the World's most pristine and varied collections of architecture, from Art Nouveau to Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist, Gothic, Romanesque, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern....
