I don't know why, but I am always fascinated most by aerial photos. Maybe it's because you can see the cities from angles and views that you cannot experience from the ground. Anyway, here's little bit of unusual views of Praha.

Sazka Arena in Vysocany area.

Amazing thread, thanks.

Praha makes me feel jelous, I would like to move their old town to Kyiv :)

:eek2: :eek2: Well, all I can say is WOW. Beautiful. Unfortunately I've never been to Prague. Next time I am in Europe I will definitely visit.

What a city...its very fortunate that it escaped major destruction in World War II, although there was a lot of fighting there.

After seeing this, I'm thinking of buying an apartment in Prague in the future.
Its the perfect city - easily best in Europe:)

Does anyone know how much apartments cost in old town of Praha?

Are you interested? Check http://www.reality.cz, before it it will be too late.

Bump!

Wow! Holy crap! That is one picturesque, wonderful, old, beautiful city! I feel terrible that I couldn't see it this summer (stupid arrangements)!:(

Pankrac and Krc. This is area designated for new highrise development, but every project so far caused a lot of oposition from local residents and was canceled. Damned people :(
EDIT: It wouldn't has been fair on Warsaw, if Prague had had skyscrapers too. ;)

What a fantastic city!

Prague is a jewel. Trully inspiring.

Simply beautiful! If you forget, why for tourist Prague is their main destination in EE, those pictures make you remember.
:uh:

Hey very great shots! I noticed many from my visit to Praha last year :)

Been there bout 7 months ago and i must say im impressed fascinating city.Prase1 how far is Opatov from city centre?
Opatov is on south-east edge of Prague near highway D1 to Brno.
By Metro (line-C Opatov station) it's around 15 minutes to centre.

Great shots. :okay: But Prague looks at least same great when walking and driving through the centre.

Prague is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY I've seen!!!

You make us czechs proud to have this posted here!

I love Prague! :)

Bump!:)
