Prague Map Art
Prague's map centers on the Vltava River, which loops through the city in a tight S-curve, dividing it into left and right banks. The medieval Old Town and Jewish Quarter sit on the east bank, their streets radiating outward in organic tangles, while the geometric Charles Bridge spans the narrowest point, leading west to Prague Castle perched on a hill above the city. Radiating avenues from the city center follow the old trade routes, creating a pattern of concentric rings that grow more angular as they spread outward.
