Prague

Prague isn't as cheap as it used to be, but it's still easy to find a very inexpensive meal and delicious Czech beer for much less than you'll pay elsewhere. Wander a few blocks away from the heavily touristed areas in the city center for the best deals.

Sitting elegantly like a jewel on the crown by the banks of the River Vltava, the "city of a hundred spires", or what we more commonly know as Prague, has been in the tourism spotlight for long now. Attached to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites, the city of Prague is just by its mere sight mesmerizing. The sixth most visited place in Europe, Prage has its share of historical culture and traditions that have been drawn and inspired from Baroque, Renaissance, Cubist, Gothic, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern. Offering a number of sights and sounds including the Prague Castle, which has been listed According to Guinness World Records as the largest medieval castle in the world, this is one city that will never want you to go back home.

There is no preferred route. However, one of the more direct ones takes the teams through Germany to Prague, the largest city and capital of the Czech Republic. See famous sites such as the Astronomical Clock in Old Town Hall. Additionally, be sure to catch the castle of Prague, often recognized as the very symbol of the city.

No visit to Prague would be complete without also visiting the Charles Bridge. The Cathedral of Saint Vito is another famous tourist attraction. But no dilly-dallying in your sputtering Citroen 2CV. The wilds of the East beckon!

Your visit to Prague, considered one of the world's most beautiful cities, begins at the celebrated Prague Castle (Hradcany). In the castle’s courtyard, visit the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral, which took more than 600 years to complete. On the nearby Golden Lane, royal alchemists once labored (unsuccessfully) to turn lead into gold. More recently, on the same street, Franz Kafka turned his angst into some of the century’s finest fiction. Stroll through the quaint, cobbled streets of the Mala Strana, the backdrop for Milos Forman’s Amadeus. Cross the Charles Bridge, adorned with 30 beautiful baroque statues, to the 13th-century Old Town (Stare Mesto). Here you’ll see Market Square, famous for its 15th-century astronomical clock. Wander through Josefov, the traditional Jewish Quarter, home to the oldest synagogue in Europe (built in 1270).

Prague is cheap, beautiful, and fully entertaining. Maybe no other city in the world is better for just wandering around and exploring (free of charge!). Gothic architecture and cobblestone streets lend it an almost-spooky medieval vibe, but the pubs, clubs and beer gardens offer plenty of modern-day cheer. Though prices have come up in the last decade, it’s still easy to find very cheap food and drink if you look a bit off the beaten path.
