Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | In the Czech Republic, we visit Prague to experience its massive castle, beloved statue-lined bridge, evocative Jewish Quarter, and thrilling 20th-century history while enjoying its infectious love of music and perhaps the best beer in Europe. With a beautifully preserved Old Town, Prague deserves its nickname: the Golden City of a Hundred Spires. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #prague

  • My favorite city in Europe. The saying goes, "All cities are jealous of Paris but Paris is jealous of Prague."
  • My favorite city in Europe. Once a year there. Every year. For 20+ years.

    To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind, clarity replace the confusion, and peace and calmness fill your life.

    The Moldau by Smetana is one of the most famous symphonies for classic music fans. I've always been moved by its tunes. It was like a vivid picture of Slavic folk's lives : the country dance, the flowing river, and finally the sea that takes it as the final destination. The song mimics a river of human lives with its ebb and flow, its joy and grief, laughter and moan.

    I loved my long weekend in Prague. Madonna flew in the day we flew home. The castle is amazing. I was told I wouldn't be able to travel on the coach tours because of my wheelchair but I ended up with an ex Olympic javelin thrower as my tour guide. I've never seen so many teddy bears on sticks and Mary Poppins look a likes. See kept following the wrong one. ILOL😂

    Prague is very beautiful city. I stayed there for 3 days and it was most memorable! People are very good, soft natured and helpful. More interestingly people understand English very well. I found many Indian restaurants with good food and was very happy. Hope I will get chance to visit this astonishing city again.
