Do & See

The Czech capital is small and compact, home to some of the world's finest beers, with traditional Czech beer houses, or 'hospody', stationed on every street corner. Beyond the beer, Prague's heart lies in its central districts: Staré Město (Old Town), Josefov, Nové Město (New Town), and Malá Strana (Lesser Town). These are best explored on foot.
