Prague

Have you been to Prague? If not, display your finest Bohemian rhapsody outfit and prepare to dive into a place where history leaps off every cobblestone street. Founded in the 9th century, Prague offers a deliciously messy blend of Romanesque chapels, Gothic cathedrals, and baroque palaces. Its history reads like a soap opera - filled with kings, empires, and revolutions. Once the glittering center of the Holy Roman Empire under Charles IV, another chapter unrolled as it stood nearly unscathed after World War II—more pristine than your favorite antique vase! Check out the Prague Castle, a location rumored to host everything from relics to legend-steeped secrets.

Now, consider putting on your culture hat as you wander through Prague, an artistic gemstone in full sparkle. From the hauntingly beautiful melodies of Dvořák to the imaginative choreography of modern Czech puppetry—practically an Olympic sport here—Prague is the muse for many artists. While you're at it, don’t miss the chance to explore the walls of the Kafka Museum: dive into the surreal essence of a writer whose stories echo Prague’s own eccentric charm. And if you're lucky, you may just stumble upon the overflowing energy of a traditional Czech festival, bursting with folk dance and music that tells the city’s tales better than any dusty old book.

Geographically, Prague snuggles into the heart of the Czech Republic, bisected by the Vltava River, which meanders gracefully like a lazy scribe’s ink across a parchment. The city boasts a temperate oceanic climate, meaning it romantically drizzles just enough to make you hum your favorite tune under every gothic arch. Famous landmarks like the Charles Bridge invite you to play tourist bingo with their flocks of statues, while the glorious marvel of the Astronomical Clock will have you gazing skywards waiting for time to roll by in the quirkiest fashion. So pack your passport, your curiosity, and if you’re aligned with planetary wonders, Prague will surely align with your starry-eyed interests.
