This magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church spires is also the fourteenth largest city in\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2018\/06\/22\/travel-tips-wheelchair-users-europe\/\">European Union<\/a>. The city is home to\u00a0about 1.3 million people, but its larger urban zone has approximately a population of\u00a0nearly 2 million. Since the Middle Ages Prague has cherished the reputation of one of the most beautiful cities in the world as well as the political, cultural, and economic center of central Europe. While cobblestones abound in many historic areas, many tourist sights are surprisingly accessible, and the city is easy to navigate with public transportation and ample curb drops. Here are my suggestions for the best accessible things to do in Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 . Prague Castle.\u00a0<\/strong>Prague Castle has been an important symbol of the Czech state for more than a\u00a0thousand years. It was founded in the 9th century and became the seat of Czech rulers and later presidents. The castle, one of the largest complexes in the world, is made up of historical palaces, offices, church and fortification buildings, gardens and picturesque spots. It covers an area of 45 hectares. The panoramic view of Prague Castle is one of the most spectacular in the world. The castle complex is easy to reach by taking the accessible #22 tram from the city center. Once you exit the tram, you will have to roll over moderate cobblestones down a path and across the moat bridge to reach the courtyard. Along the way you&#8217;ll see some stunning views of the St. Vitus Cathedral (below). All the courtyards of Prague Castle and Kralovsk\u00e1 zahrada (the Royal Gardens) are completely barrier-free with a smoother surface. There are two stairs by the entrance gate to the gardens. The barrier-free entrance is on the righthand side. Most areas of the castle are accessible, and entry is free for wheelchair users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3131\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/8b056bf4-4493-46b7-9455-5e1f82fd852c\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?fit=2833%2C3635&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2833,3635\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1536082298&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00709219858156&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?fit=234%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?fit=750%2C962&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?fit=640%2C821&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3131\" width=\"320\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?w=2833&amp;ssl=1 2833w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?resize=234%2C300&amp;ssl=1 234w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?resize=768%2C985&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?resize=798%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 798w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?resize=600%2C770&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/8B056BF4-4493-46B7-9455-5E1F82FD852C.jpeg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. St. Vitus Cathedral.\u00a0<\/strong>St. Vitus Cathedral is the largest and the most important temple in Prague. Apart from religious services, coronations of Czech kings and queens also took place here. The cathedral is a\u00a0place of burial of several patron saints, sovereigns, noblemen and archbishops. In 1344, Charles IV began the construction of a\u00a0Gothic cathedral. Its first builders, Matthias of Arras and later Peter Parler, built the chancel with a\u00a0ring of chapels, St. Wenceslas Chapel, the Golden\u00a0Gate and the lower part of the\u00a0Great South Tower. Unfortunately, in 1419 the construction of the Cathedral stopped because of the Hussite Wars. It was not until the latter half of the 19th century that the Union for the Completion of the Cathedral began the repair of the original part and the completion of the Cathedral in Neo-Gothic style. The church was solemnly consecrated in 1929. Visitors enter the Cathedral through the portal in the western facade, opposite the passage-way between the Second and Third Courtyard of Prague Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3134\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/e92012da-9f0a-4737-a3ea-690351524485\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?fit=3024%2C4032&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3024,4032\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1536084548&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00110741971207&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?fit=750%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?fit=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3134\" width=\"320\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?w=3024&amp;ssl=1 3024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/E92012DA-9F0A-4737-A3EA-690351524485.jpeg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Old Town Square.<\/strong> Known in Czech as\u00a0<em>Starom\u011bstsk\u00e9 n\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed<\/em>, this is the central square of the historic part of\u00a0Prague.\u00a0The square is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the Czech capital, along with\u00a0Charles Bridge\u00a0and\u00a0Prague Castle. It is almost impossible to miss it if you\u2019re coming to Prague as a tourist.The absolute highlight of Old Town Square is the famous\u00a0Prague Astronomical Clock, a.k.a.\u00a0Orloj. It is a medieval astronomical clock mounted on the Old Town Hall and shows the current position of selected celestial objects. The lower part of the Orloj is a calendar dial and shows the current day on a beautiful dial.\u00a0The cityscape of Old Town Square is dominated by another landmark, which even is not located in the square itself, but very near. The Gothic towers of the\u00a0Church of Mother of God before T\u00fdn\u00a0(<em>Kostel Matky Bo\u017e\u00ed p\u0159ed T\u00fdnem<\/em>) a.k.a. the\u00a0T\u00fdn Church\u00a0(<em>T\u00fdnsk\u00fd chr\u00e1m<\/em>) are visible from all over the square. These iconic towers feature characteristic small spires and belong to the most recognizable Prague landmarks. You will have to deal with cobblestones when exploring Old Town Square, although there are criss-crossing lines of smooth pavers that can make rolling a bit easier in spots. There are few curb cuts from the center Square area to the sidewalks across the street, so you may end up doubling back a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"7930\" height=\"3237\" data-attachment-id=\"3135\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/img_9253\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?fit=7930%2C3237&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"7930,3237\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1535990828&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.000449034575662&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_9253\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?fit=300%2C122&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?fit=750%2C306&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?fit=640%2C261&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?w=7930&amp;ssl=1 7930w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?resize=300%2C122&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?resize=768%2C313&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?resize=1024%2C418&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?resize=600%2C245&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9253.jpg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Charles Bridge.\u00a0<\/strong>Prague\u2019s oldest bridge was built to replace the Judith Bridge that had been badly damaged by floods in 1342. The Stone, or Prague, Bridge, called Charles Bridge since 1870, was begun in 1357 by Charles IV and was completed in 1402. The bridge is built of sandstone blocks, flanked at each end by fortified towers (Lesser Town Bridge Towers, Old Town Bridge Tower). From 1683 to 1928, 30 statues of saints were carved to decorate the bridge, the most famous of which is the statue of St John of Nepomuk. Although the views are prettiest at sunset, arrive early to avoid the inevitable large crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"3133\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/eaac5520-c61a-4acb-986a-b69038335027\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?fit=4032%2C3024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1535910246&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00113765642776&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?fit=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/EAAC5520-C61A-4ACB-986A-B69038335027.jpeg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.

There is a ramp at the front entrance, and employees can escort you to other floors by the small, but stylish, elevator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4023\" height=\"3017\" data-attachment-id=\"3132\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/46bb9698-cb36-4fdc-9af3-fd5948d97fe5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?fit=4023%2C3017&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4023,3017\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1535996206&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.142857142857&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?fit=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?w=4023&amp;ssl=1 4023w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/46BB9698-CB36-4FDC-9AF3-FD5948D97FE5.jpeg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Spanish Synagogue.\u00a0<\/strong>The Spanish Synagogue (\u0160pan\u011blsk\u00e1 synagoga) in Prague is known as the most beautiful synagogue in Europe. Set in the heart of the\u00a0Jewish Quarter, it is certainly a stunning sight. The Spanish Synagogue was built in 1868 on the site of the oldest Prague Jewish house of prayer (&#8220;the Old Shul&#8221;). It was designed in a Moorish style by Vojt\u011bch Ign\u00e1tz Ullmann. Under both Nazi and Communist rule the Spanish Synagogue was neglected, fell into a sorry state, and was eventually closed. But in the latter part of the 20th century the\u00a0Jewish Museum in Prague\u00a0took control, and began work on its restoration. In the evening, the Spanish Synagogue becomes a wonderful setting for classical music concerts. There are steps from the street level into the main chamber, but wheelchair users can signal the ticket taker to lower them via an electric platform lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3993\" height=\"2995\" data-attachment-id=\"3136\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/1147d0ee-3ea4-4a01-8c68-58f7ec4d7313\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?fit=3993%2C2995&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3993,2995\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1536059986&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0909090909091&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?fit=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?w=3993&amp;ssl=1 3993w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/1147D0EE-3EA4-4A01-8C68-58F7EC4D7313.jpg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7.

The different exhibitions\u00a0offer an extensive overview of the works\u00a0of the painter, with a special focus to the artwork he did while he lived in Paris, where he created his best and most famous pieces. Oil paintings, posters, pages from Mucha\u2019s sketchbooks,\u00a0decorative objects, and three-dimensional works can be found in the artist\u2019s museum. Visitors can also discover a reconstruction of his study in Paris. Although the Mucha Museum is quite small, it is especially interesting for those\u00a0who\u00a0love art and Art Nouveau in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3899\" height=\"2924\" data-attachment-id=\"3137\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/img_9359\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?fit=3899%2C2924&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3899,2924\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1536067876&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0588235294118&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_9359\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?fit=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?w=3899&amp;ssl=1 3899w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9359.jpg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Convent of St. Agnes.\u00a0<\/strong>The St Agnes Convent is one of the most important Gothic buildings in Prague. It was founded around 1230 AD by the Premyslid princess St Agnes of Bohemia along with her brother King Wenceslas I. The guided tour traces the history of the individual parts of the uniquely preserved medieval monastery. All major areas are accessible for viewing, including the Oratory of St Agnes, the Shrine of the Saviour, and the Church of St Francis, where the remains of King Wenceslas I\u00a0are buried. It&#8217;s a difficult roll over a lot of rough cobblestone to get there, but well worth it.

Gallery of Steel Figures.<\/strong> Gallery of Steel Figures prepared almost 100 handmade exhibits in the Art Nouveau building City Palais in the center of Prague. 100% recycled exhibits are inspired by fairy tales and sci-fi heroes as well as celebrities, animals and luxury cars. The basic building blocks of the figures are pieces of steel scrap in the form of gear wheels, elements of gearboxes, brake pads, chains, all kinds of gears, bolts and nuts. More than 120 craftsmen work on the statues, and the production of one exhibit takes an average of 8 months.\u00a0The main entrance isn&#8217;t accessible, but there is a side entrance next to the metro escalator with a sliding door.

St\u0159eleck\u00fd Island.<\/strong> A romantic place hidden in the shade of mature trees in the heart of city under the Legion Bridge enchants visitors with its old-time atmosphere and exceptional views of the city directly from the surface of the Vltava River. Under the reign of Charles IV, the island became a place for Prague&#8217;s shooters to practice the art of shooting from bows and crossbows. From the 18th century it became the sight of the Midsummer celebrations associated with gunfire and fireworks.\u00a0Thus, the island received its name after this shooting tradition.\u00a0Occasionally, celebrations, concerts, open-air festivals, and various other cultural events are held here. If you go roughly halfway across the Legion Bridge, you will find the elevator that will take you down to the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"3141\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/2019\/07\/31\/wheelchair-accessible-prague\/3078e01d-f420-4671-89f7-d21a057dc1b2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?fit=4032%2C3024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1535911639&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00343642611684&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?fit=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/spintheglobe.net\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/3078E01D-F420-4671-89F7-D21A057DC1B2.jpeg?w=2250&amp;ssl=1 2250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Situated in the northwest of the country on the Vltava\u00a0River,\u00a0Prague is the capital and the largest city of\u00a0the Czech Republic.
