Bohemian rhapsodies

The secret is to take in the distinctive areas of the city in turn, enjoying the splendours of the Old Town, the castle, Wenceslas Square.. The best way to explore is on foot, with the occasional hop on one of the city’s handy trams.
Tourist highlights usually include lingering by the buskers on the Charles Bridge, a visit to the Jewish cemetery and catching the chimes of the astronomical clock in the Old Town Square.
Don’t neglect the beer, superb brews with a rich history, served up in atmospheric cellar bars, or Pivnice, accompanied by simple menus of hearty Middle European fare, usually a variation on meat and dumplings.
