Prague, known as "Praha" in Czech, is the capital of the Czech Republic. What you are not going to be able to tell from these pictures is how many tourists there are here. Be prepared for heavy crowds: Prague is the fifth most visited European city after London, Paris, Istanbul and Rome. Even at 5am I am hardly alone; there are hundreds of people walking around the old part of town.
