Rare is a city that bares its stately grace without a hint of pretension. Rarer still is the city that is not outdated by its own antiquity, that presents its storied history without getting lost in it. Rare is the city that embraces without consuming. Rare is Prague.
Welcome to Prague, and the Czech Republic. We’re thrilled that you are either thinking about exploring our favorite city, or that you are already here and looking for tips.
