Red roofs, a Gothic castle ridge, and a low stone bridge across the river.
Prague is easiest to read through Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, and Charles Bridge. A river city of red roofs, church spires and a castle ridge above the center. A long hilltop complex rises behind the city with several roofs and towers. A dark Gothic spire and twin towers form the highest points of the castle ridge. A low stone bridge links the historic skyline across the river. Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral create a layered hilltop mass, while the Old Town's many church towers puncture the roofscape. The skyline is low, warm and irregular, with the Charles Bridge and Vltava adding a horizontal foreground rather than a skyscraper wall. If the outline has red roofs, a gothic castle ridge, and a low stone bridge across the river, choose Prague. The combination matters more than any single building, especially when the skyline is simplified into one clean game silhouette.
