The Czech capital looks beautiful from almost every angle, but this overhead shot of its much-loved Christmas market in the Old Town Square sparkles with festive excitement and cosy gatherings. You'll notice that most of Prague's architecture is Baroque and Gothic, with a healthy smattering of Romanesque, Renaissance and Rococo too. Head up to Petřin Hill to see for yourself why Prague is nicknamed the city of a hundred spires.
