Prauge was endorsed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992. With the official announcement, the beauty of this cultural city has been widespread and numerous tourists have been attracted. The local government has spent great efforts on conservation, like prohibiting large vehicle to enter into historical area, such as Charles Bridge, Own Town Square, etc. Probably this is the major reason why we can still admire the original scene of "The Golden City".
National Museum of Prague in Neo-renaissance Style built in 1885-1891
Some more classic buildings. Do you know what styles they were built?
Some old buildings are sold to private companies. These buildings may serve as hotels, restaurants.etc and open for public after renovation. The picture shows Four Seasons Hotel.
Old elegant street lamp, which is similar to those in Central, Hong Kong.
Apart from culture conservation, Prague also allows room for creativity of contemporary arts. The modern building in the picture was constructed in 1996 with a nickname of Dancing House because of its outlook. Can you see there's a gentleman dancing with a lady?
What is the "building"? This big brown round pillar is a public washroom. If you wanna have a look inside, just put in a coin and you can become the self-served guest. It is located in the premium brand area, just next to LV. Probably the government understand people usually spend much time on shopping in the branded shops, thus, they set such a caring facility there.
