Prague
Prague: The magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, whose image has been mirrored in the surface of the Vltava river for more than ten centuries. Prague is also a modern European metropolis full of energy, music, and art. It's a city of contrasts: Serene green isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city's seven hills are just steps away from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city center.

Regensburg bills itself as "Germany's best-preserved medieval city."

Preservation may be Regensburg's most important industry after the BMW and Siemens plants in the modern suburbs.
