Prague
A fairy-tale city that survived the 20th century almost entirely intact
Prague is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities, and it knows it. The Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle exist in a state of almost theatrical beauty. But scratch below the tourist surface and you find a city of genuine culture: contemporary art galleries, inventive restaurants, and a live music scene that punches far above its size. The beer is excellent and cheaper than water.
