Though the Valentine’s Day is already in the past, here is the list of the best places for kisses in Prague - one of the most romantic cities in Europe, though, that can be still of use after the holiday. The first place in this peculiar rating was given to PetYin hill, rising on the left bank of the river - the legendary place for enamored ones, sung of in literature. One can visit it any season - the hill is beautiful in spring, in autumn and in winter. The lovers kiss near the statue of Karel Hynek Mácha (Czech romantic poet) - near the foot of the hill. It is considered that this guarantees love for the whole year.

The second place was given to the Charles Bridge, the place you should visit at dawn - till 8 a.m., or late in the evening. Daylong the bridge is filled with tourists, merchants, street performers, and in the morning or at night it becomes empty and one can really feel this almost mystical atmosphere of the bridge.

The third in the list is the Prague Castle, which is recommended to be visited at night: at 6 p.m. the organized excursions are over, and tourists little by little go away. However, some visitors know that the territory of the castle remains open till late in the evening, when one can walk in the moonlight through the spacious wards, amazingly silent in this time, along the cathedral and through the Golden Lane to the ancient stairs leading down, to the Mala Strana. The gate of the castle closes at 11 p.m. from November till March, and at midnight in over seasons of the year.

The fourth place was given to the Novy Svet street - one the most magical places in the town. One should visit it at dawn or at sunset. As said by the authors, it is mostly recommended to visit this street while snowstorm - but only having the right footwear.

The fifth place is given to the Vyšehrad castle - the former Kings’ quarters. The sixth - to the Stromovka park, seventh - to the Mala Strana. !ervine`s ditch is the eighth, a row down the Vltava is the ninth, and the tenth is a box in the National Theatre, at that, it is recommended to get there in a limousine.

By the way, Prague Zoological Garden has got into the list of world best zoos, so it is also a place worth visiting.
