Dominando el Vocabulario Esencial de Viajes y los Pronombres Relativos en Inglés

Experiencia de Viaje: Praga y Karlovy Vary

Last year, I visited Prague with my friends. It is located in the heart of Europe and is the capital city of the Czech Republic. It is well worth a visit because it is a beautiful and historic city. Prague, which offers the Charles Bridge, Wenceslas Square and the Vltava River, has everything worth seeing. Its rich cultural and artistic heritage is reflected in its beautiful Art Nouveau architecture. You shouldn’t miss the great city of Karlovy Vary, which is known for the numerous mineral springs found throughout the city. Prague is a very interesting tourist destination. However, a word of advice – if you go in winter, make sure you take really warm clothes!
