Prague

Where to begin? I have been enchanted by Prague since I first lay eyes on this Baroque wonderland back in 2003. I spent a semester and two summers here. I would happily move back. Prague is so much more than Praha 1, the old town, where the tourist herds congregate. The discerning Prague visitor knows what the cities inhabitants long ago figured out: the real magic is to be found in the neighborhoods, away from the crowds. My best Prague rec, next time you find yourself in town, is to find a hilltop or lookout point from which to watch the sun set over Prague castle and the bridges that span the Vltava river. It will take your breath away.
