Prague has a very rich and deep history, and its people certainly know it. When you step out of the main train station, you can't help but wonder how they seem to be so cosmopolitan, and yet the buildings are so meticulously restored and maintained to recreate a feel from days gone by.
As a result, almost everywhere in the city proper is a sight in itself, and almost every building has its own grand facade. There aren't that many outwardly modern-looking malls either, since they're all incorporated into the pretty buildings in the city centre. All of this made for a very pleasant walking tour.
But as mentioned, this is a very modern city, and its transport system has kept pace. It is efficient, clean, and brings you to just about anywhere. In fact, the trams are another great way to take in the sights while on the move, and is an experience in itself.
The main sight in this town would probably be its castle, with its beautiful cathedral and compounds. The feeling that one gets entering the walls would probably be being overwhelmed, it is huge and incredibly grand. It is no wonder that the place is packed full of tourists all day long.
A word of advice though, if you have vertigo: you may want to give the metro a miss, as the platforms are located quite deep into the ground. The escalators are scary looking to say the least.
