Visit Prague

“Back on foot for several days, I found that Prague is a great place to get lost. I was dazzled by the array of architectural styles that lined up next to each other: Baroque statuary, Gothic spires, Renaissance columns, and ornate Rococo stylings, as well as modernist construction like Frank Gehry’s Dancing House (inspired by the silhouettes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers).”

“I took an exhilarating ride up the serpentine paths of Letenske Park, to the giant metronome that stands above what the guide called “the largest beer garden in Prague.” The panoramic view of the Old City and the stone bridges crossing the Vltava River took my breath away.”

“When I stepped off the train in Prague, I remember thinking to myself, “Oh shit! I’m in Eastern Europe now!” [...] Prior visiting Prague, I thought of it much more in through the lens of its Bohemian past, but when I actually got here, the energy felt very different than what I had expected. It was summertime, but somehow it felt quite cold.”
