 Close to the Týn Church to the East is the "Ungelt" with a picturesque courtyard, once center of commerce of Central Europe.

The most interesting building of the formerly Jewish Quarter is the Old New School, a synagogue built about A. D. 1212. It is still used for worship on the Jewish Sunday (Saturday), but during the remainder of the week it is open for the tourists.

Only a few steps distant is the oldest existing Jewish Cemetery in Europe. There are thousands of lichen covered stones, bearing Hebrew inscriptions and symbols, to indicate the tribe to which the deceased belonged.

Another interesting building of the Old Town is the Clementinum (formerly Jesuits College), which contains the archiepiscopal seminary, the University Library (open daily from 9 to 1, and from 3 to 6), the Astronomical Observarory and part of the University (Philosophical Faculty); close to it are: the St. Clement’s and St. Salvator’s church and the Italian Chapel.

In the library the oldest manuscripts of Wycliffe and of Luther can be seen by permission of the custodian.

Opposite the Clementinum is the Church and Monastery of the Order of “Crucigerous Knights with the red Star“.

From the ''Charles IV. Monument at the foot of the Old Town Bridge Tower, a gorgeous view of the left bank of Vltava can be obtained: Hradčany'', the Kremlin of Prague, the most beautiful spot of the City, appears before our eyes in all its splendour.

The landmark of Malá Strana is St. Nicolas Church with a splendid green cupola, one of the finest baroque churches in Europe.

Of special interest is the visit to the palace of Waldstein, the imperial general in Thirty years’ war, whose career and ambitions form one of the puzzles of history.

In the Church of St. Thomas, a few steps distant, is buried an English poetess Elizabeth Joanna Weston, born in London 1582, who ranked with Sir Thomas More as the best contemporary Latin poet.

The most beautiful place of Prague, a subject of wonder to the stranger and an object of national veneration to all Bohemians is a huge pile of buildings called: Hradčany.

The most prominent feature of the Hradčany is the Cathedral of St. Vitus, an imposing structure of pure gothic, originally founded by Prince St. Václav murdered by his pagan brother Boleslav in 935., and hero of the carol "Good King Wenceslas." A chapel
