Prague survived the 20th century with its medieval and Baroque core intact, so the whole center is a walkable open-air museum of spires, bridges, and squares. The trick to a good Prague itinerary is timing — Charles Bridge and the Old Town Square are magical at dawn and mobbed by midday. Cheap, world-class beer waits at the end of every day.
