About Prague
Prague's Old Town looks like a living fairy tale — a skyline of Gothic spires, a medieval Astronomical Clock, cobblestone streets, and baroque palaces. Add in world-class Czech beer, a vibrant arts scene, and you have one of Europe's finest cities.
How to Explore
Start in the Old Town square and wander through the narrow streets of Mala Strana to reach the Castle district. Utilize the extensive tram network for quick transit between hills and neighborhoods. Take day trips to the nearby medieval town of Cesky Krumlov or the spa town of Karlovy Vary.
