Walking through the old streets of Prague, you might discover that many houses you’ll pass are marked with strange symbols above their entryways. These are the famous Prague house signs. House signs were a popular method of identifying guilds, businesses, and palaces worldwide before the numbering system of city planning was implemented.
Prague has some of the most beautiful libraries in the world, and although most of them are off-limits to the public, there are tours during certain times of the day which allow bibliophiles to soak up all the history and literary treasures that lie inside these old buildings.
