Prague is a city of visual delights — a hilltop castle, a grand medieval square, a hauntingly beautiful bridge — that enchants visitors with its exceptionally well-preserved Old Town and its proud Slavic culture. Bisected by the Vltava River, the capital of the Czech Republic is a highly walkable city (there are terrific trams and subways, too) notable as both the birthplace of Franz Kafka and a hotbed of beer culture.
