Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is without a doubt a beautiful city. This once-troubled capital of the Czech Republic is a wonderful treasure that is worthwhile to see at any time of year (communism had its grip on the beautiful city for years).

The gorgeous holiday lights and decorations as well as the reasonable costs for things like lodging, meals, and flights will delight everyone who chooses to spend their Christmas vacation here. Don't feel too special; Prague is among the most affordable travel destinations in Europe all year long. The lovely Old Town Square should be at the top of your list of things to do in Prague, its winding cobblestone streets made even more majestic with their festive attire. The stunning Charles Bridge, built in the fourteenth century and a favorite of photographers and couples, is not to be missed. If you're lucky, you might even feel some snow drizzling from the December Eastern European skies while admiring the Astronomical Clock or gazing at the variety of colorful buildings.
