Let's see...
Prague is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. And why shouldn’t it be? It’s incredibly beautiful. So beautiful in fact, that it almost doesn’t seem real.
I asked a well-traveled friend of mine to name the most beautiful cities he’s ever visited in Europe. He rattled off names like Istanbul and Budapest but conspicuously absent from his list was Prague. I asked him about it and he said that Prague, for him, was “too pretty”. At first, I didn’t understand what he meant by that.
How could a city be so pretty that it becomes a negative? I didn’t understand it until I finally saw Prague with my very own eyes. He was right. “Pretty” is indeed the perfect word to describe Prague. Home to breathtaking castles and spires, Prague is like a living fairy tale. It’s by far the prettiest city I have ever visited in my life.
Prague is a wonderful city full of historical squares, a world-famous castle, and awesome food. The wonderful Prague is home to some of the best sights in Central Europe. It is known for its historical monuments, world-class castle building, and mouthwatering Czech food. The best part, for those who do not have that much time or budget, Prague is becoming more and more affordable and accessible.

Accommodations in Old Town are just minutes away from historic attractions, shopping and nightlife. This area has by far the most attractions and is the most popular place to stay in Prague.
