One thing that draws me to Prague is the diversity in its architecture. I could wander around and around for hours just looking up. My favourite buildings are the art nouveau ones with their beautifully painted facades. If you’re a big art nouveau fan, I’d suggest going to the Mucha Museum for a visit. I didn’t have enough time, and only wandered through the gift shop. I really like his works of art and a visit to the museum is in store for me the next time I going to Prague.
I wish I knew more about architecture and the differences between all the styles found in Prague, but I don’t. I’ll let these photos speak for me.

Even the inside of the post office is gorgeous.

Have you been to Prague? What is your favorite architectural style? Which of these buildings did you like the most?

May 7, 2014 at 8:53 AMI Adelina, I’m sorry you don’t really like Prague because it’s one of my favourite cities. I love the architecture which is unusual for a European city because nothing was destroyed during the war. I love the mediaeval and art deco houses as well. We were there in September which was just perfect.

May 7, 2014 at 5:28 PMYou’re right. The city is fairly intact and virtually has no damage from the war which is fabulous. I hope things continue to stay that way with everything being conserved.

People often don’t know or forget that the Allied Forces bombed Prague on February 14, 1945, likely mistaken for Dresden. 🙁

May 9, 2014 at 4:34 AMIt still seems to have come out of the war relatively unscathed which is nice for travelers now 🙂

Adelina says
May 11, 2014 at 1:29 AMDefinitely – Vienna has the grand royal looking buildings and the ones in Prague are so intricate and beautifully painted.

May 11, 2014 at 1:28 AMIt really is! I would be looking up the whole time I’m in the city.
