Prague’s timeless center has fairy-tale appeal: spires poking up to the sky, glorious medieval architecture, and an enchanting riverside setting among rolling hills.

For the picturesque views of the city, the outstanding medieval architecture, and a lively and varied nightlife scene that's both exhilarating and attitude-free.
