Prague is beautiful.  This is what I’ve heard a lot of people say, but don’t they say that about every other city in the world? I didn’t take much of the feedback seriously until I landed in Prague and saw it for myself. It really is pretty, and the beauty of the architecture is compressed in such a small area. All one needs to do is to take a walk and get lost and one is bound to find something interesting and awe-inspiring. It’s almost enchanting because it’s hard to imagine these structures have been around forever and are not some manufactured Disney-like attraction. Prague is a perfect European trip for a long weekend or a side trip from another city like Budapest, which is what we did when we went.  Enjoy some highlights below, and some Prague Eats here.
