Prague
Czech Republic
"A Fairy-Tale City Frozen in Golden-Age Splendor"
Prague is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities — a fairy-tale destination where centuries of Baroque, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture crowd the cobblestone streets largely untouched by wartime destruction. Cross the iconic Charles Bridge at dawn for magical views of the castle above, explore the old Jewish Quarter, climb the clock tower over Old Town Square, and sample the world-famous Czech Pilsner in ancient underground beer cellars. Prague offers incredible value compared to other European capitals, with extraordinary culture, cuisine, and nightlife.
