Prague, ‘City of a Hundred Spires’, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The city has many districts that shine with their own personality and unique charms. The romantic atmosphere, mixed with the ancient and modern ambience that rules the city, lures visitors and enchants them with the cosmopolitan lifestyle.
Prague’s aesthetic is laced with cobbled lanes and hidden courtyards that are ideal for the curious wanderer. The city is designed for urban exploration, leading to vibrant cafes and boutiques.
Prague’s entertaining wit can be seen in the public spaces. Take for instance the public fountain over Charles Bridge, where two mechanical men are urinating on a map of the Czech Republic. The humorous sculpture allows passers-by to text a message to the number next to the exhibit, and the mechanical men will happily spell it out for you. No weirdness here!
