I didn't realize we were going to Bohemia. Where is - or was - Bohemia, anyway? Well, we found out that the capital of Bohemia was Prague, and in its heyday 600 years ago its power and culture challenged Paris and Rome.
When you visit Prague, it won't take long for you to see that the heart of this historic city is the Old Town and its central square.
But if you can't wait to see it for yourself, well, come along with us and we'll show you our impressions of the most beautiful city in the Czech Republic.
