A prosperous and bustling city, Prague now attracts more tourists than ever. But its picturesque downtown veils both a dark legacy and a resilient past; in its 1,100 years, Prague has withstood numerous overthrows, invasions, fires and floods. It is its reputation for survival and perseverance thats made the Czech capital so fascinating. Today, its storied churches, narrow streets, daunting hilltop castle and statue-lined bridges create the image of an urban fairy tale. Even the most jaded traveler would have trouble resisting this citys charms. Prague was once a hidden gem, overshadowed by its flashier neighbors to the west. But the city couldnt keep its marvels a secret for too long - now, its a haven for travelers wanting for an awe-inspiring experience at an affordable price. You can still find all of that today, with many top attractions - including the famous Charles Bridge and the historic Prague Castle - offering entry free of charge and many hotels offering rooms at a fraction of the cost of other major European cities. But this bargain-hunting legacy has a ticking clock on it - recently prices have been on the rise. If youre hoping to find a fire-sale price, nows the time to do so. Prague Dining A typical Czech meal would include pork, cabbage and dumplings, almost always accompanied by a finely brewed pilsner. Most meals are fairly mild and meat-based, and oftentimes the best - and the cheapest - meals can be found in the local pubs during lunchtime. Prague also has several cafés and small eateries that are perfect for a small breakfast or a quick snack, especially in Staré Mesto (Old Town) and Lesser Town (Malá Strana). Travel wisely! And better - choose the pros to guide you! :) cobblestonefreeway.ca/destinations/eastern-europe/european-winter-markets/ #MustSeePlaces_inEurope #CzechRepublic #Prague #cobblestone #freeway
