Conveniently placed in the heart of the continent, Prague is one of the culture capitals of Europe. It's six hours by car to Budapest and just four hours to Vienna or Berlin. Whilst the frenetic pace of the city can feel a little overwhelming in parts, stepping off the main thoroughfares leave you in almost entirely empty streets. The charming gothic and renaissance buildings are a charm and yet its unique display of cubist architecture should not be overlooked. Quizzical statues by architect David Cerny are interspersed around the Old Town, each with their own story. For romeos, day trippers, photographers and beer lovers Prague never fails to please.
