Traveling to Prague? Expect the Unexpected
You never forget the first time you cross the Karluv Most (Charles Bridge) in Prague, the Czech Republic’s capital city. Bejeweled with historic statues and twinkling lampposts, it arches over the Vltava River and offers heart-stopping views of both Old Town to the east and Malá Strana (Lesser Town) to the west; walking it, you’re certain you’re slipping between magical realms.
All of Prague is like that, really. To visit is to feel that you’re finally learning a secret. If you’re planning a visit of your own, chart a course for these 15 destinations and experiences — but know that for every wonder you plan to experience there, three more will take you by surprise.
