Prague, Czech Republic, is a city of stunning physical beauty, focused on culture and commerce, that has been influenced by many nationalities. Gothic and baroque spires, art-nouveau facades, and even cubist structures throughout the city reflect German, Italian, Flemish, and Bohemian influences.
What many might not expect, is that Prague is an underrated city for food and nightlife, compared to its European counterparts. If you slip away from the main tourist scene, you'll likely stumble upon a bakery offering freshly baked brown loaves from 200-year-old recipes. Beyond the city’s famous beer scene, you can find anything from loud music and flashing lights late into the night, to a sunset cocktail by the Vltava River.
