Prague

Based on what other travelers had told us, we had high expectations for our four days in Prague---and it did not disappoint. (Good rule of thumb: If a city has a neighborhood known as “New Town” that dates back over 500 years, it’s probably going to be a very cool place…)

Prague has a huge medieval center that, from one medieval neighborhood to the next, feels like a giant step back in time. The city is full of winding cobbled lanes, walled courtyards, huge cathedrals, countless spires, and a varied mix of stunning, ancient architecture. (Plus, it arguably has the best beer in the world… What’s not to love?)

Whatever Prague lacks in blockbuster activities, it makes up for it with incredible ambience. We spent our days aimlessly wandering from one neighborhood to the next. From the Old Quarter to the Castle Quarter to the Little Quarter to the Jewish Quarter to the New Town---each neighborhood has its own unique character, history, architecture, and charm.

You can check out all of our Prague photos right here. We’ve fallen a bit behind in our blog entries (sorry!), so we’ll try to catch up with several mini-entries in the next few days. Up next: Cesky Krumlov and Krakow.
