It\u2019s the tourist haven for shopping and resting amidst the quaintness and serene setting of cobblestone streets and an absolute \u201cblast from the past\u201d experience.<\/p>\n<h3>New Town<\/h3>\n<p>Built over 600 years ago, New Town is Prague\u2019s commercial district. Here businesses flourish. There are many hotels and malls in this area which accounts for the number to tourists you will see walking around. Aside from shopping malls, New Town is famous for its theaters, museums and its Opera House.<br \/>\nNew Town was an idea of King Charles IV who wanted to develop an area between Old Town and Vysehrad. He personally supervised the contrsuction, and is considered a visionary since his idea was way advance for the times then. There are 3 main squares \u2013 the Cattle Market, the Horse Square, and the Hay Market.<br \/>\nPetrinska Rozhledna<\/p>\n<p>This amazing breathtaking structure is a 60 meter high tower also known as Petrin Lookout Tower. It has been compared constantly with Paris\u2019 Eiffel Tower, even if it is not as tall as the Paris monument.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, this tower is awesome as it stands on top of the Petrin hill which makes it appear to be as tall as the Eiffel Tower. This structure was built in 1891 and was initially an observation and transmission outpost.<\/p>\n<p>Now, tourists are allowed to go up the tower and on a perfect day, you can see for miles around. To get up to the base of the tower, you can ride a funicular up the hill, and from the base of the tower, there is a brief elevator ride to the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Other Interesting Places To See in Prague There are so many interesting and wonderful places to see in Prague.
