Prague is known as 1 of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The city owes this to its incredibly well-preserved old town centre Staré Město. Here, follow The Royal Route, that passes by all the sights. This route was used to be taken by the Czech kings on their coronation. Explore the Prague fortress as well, where you will find impressive churches, squares, and palaces. The Old City Square is 1 of the highlights, where you will see the famous Astronomical Clock come to life. Or, wander over to the iconic Charles Bridge, where you will be surrounded by ancient statues that will give you the feeling of walking back in time. You will also encounter street musicians and artists who will be happy to show you their work.

Besides the many sights, there are also hidden treasures to be discovered that make the city unique. Want to experience Prague's charm to the max? Take a stroll through the Malá Strana district.

Or, have another popular dish, such as svíčková (creamy sauce with beef). These meals will fill you up after a long day of roaming the city. Another great thing about Prague is that such big meals don't have to cost you a lot of money. Feeling like a sweet treat?
