Prague for Two: Bridges, Castles, Bones & Beer Halls
See it in NavoyFive unhurried days in Prague, based between Malá Strana and the Old Town. The trip runs from a quiet sunrise on Charles Bridge to Prague Castle, Vyšehrad and a golden-hour Petřín dinner. Kutná Hora gets a full day out. Czech comfort food, candlelit concerts and a river cruise keep it romantic and delicious.
