The Cathedral of St. Vitus is the biggest church in Prague and holds the treasury of the Czech coronation jewels.
The Lesser Quarter
The Church of St. Nicholas, at the center of the Lesser Quarter, is one of the most outstanding examples of Czech Baroque architecture. Another important part of the Lesser Quarter is Nerudova Street with its characteristic house-signs. The three fiddles sign has been preserved on one of the houses, signifying the three generations of violin makers who used to live and work there. The most important house is known as At The Two Suns. This is where the well-known Czech writer Jan Neruda used to live. Today the building is a famous pub.

Transportation
Prague has one of the best public transportation systems in Europe. The metro, trams and buses are used by two-thirds of Prague's population and cover the majority of the city.
The Prague metro carries around 600 million passengers a year. Its three lines (A,B,C) consist of about 62 km of tracks running mostly underground, and 61 stations. New stations continue to be added.
The Prague metro is only about 40 years old and is mostly Russian-built.
