Prague

Prague remined remarkably free from bombing in both WW's (apart from one mistake by an American air crew on a foggy morning) and thus has magnificent streetscapes dating all the way from the 13th to the 19th century, with a couple of 21st century building tossed in for good measure. The pictures below highlight this.
