Prague
Prague is a thriving city that is getting more visitors than ever. But its charming downtown conceals both a troubled past and a strong one. Prague has endured multiple overthrows, invasions, fires, and floods since approximately A.D. 870. This reputation for tenacity and endurance is what draws people to the Czech capital. These days, the city's renowned churches, winding lanes, intimidating hilltop castle, and statue-lined bridges make for a picture perfect urban fairy tale setting. The charms of this city would be hard for even the most weary traveler to resist.
Prior to its flashier neighbors to the west, Prague was a hidden gem. The city was unable to conceal its wonders for long, and today is a sanctuary for tourists looking for breathtaking sights at reasonable prices. Even today, many of Prague's greatest attractions, such as the renowned Charles Bridge and the ancient Prague Castle, are free to enter, and many hotels have rates that are considerably lower than those of other European cities. But time is running out on this tradition of finding great deals, so if you're expecting to score a deal, act quickly.
