2. About Tony Armand. He ranks Prague as one of the most beautiful, magical cities on the planet.
Largely bombed around during World War II, the city has retained its majestic city center, with
its nooks and crannies awaiting exploration by the curious traveler.Tony Armand and travel
presentation on SlideShare shows that the city of Prague – that is to say, the settlement that
gradually grew into the city that so many people know and love today – is one that dates back
to before the Common Era.

3. The reign of Charles IV – first King of
Bohemia, then Holy Roman Emperor –
created the biggest and most lasting
changes to his city. Feeling that, as
Emperor, he deserved a city truly
worthy of the name – and truly worthy
of being the seat of the world’s greatest
empire – he undertook the single largest
urban growth project of the Middle Ages.
Under the eye of Charles IV, and the
master skills of his architects (one of
whom, Petr Parler, also did extensive
work on Prague Castle), the city grew to
twice its previous size.

4. Prague at Christmastime is a magical sight. Open-air pens show off donkeys, ponies, sheep, and
goats. An enormous Christmas tree is erected in Old Town Square, and ceremoniously
decorated. Stages showcase various performances – singers, dancers, and the like. Food is
everywhere, especially roast ham, mulled wine, Czech pastries, and hot chocolate. Horse-
drawn carriages await tourists.
