At long last we finally made it to Prague and it instantly moves onto our Top 10 Europe Sights list! The weather was a bit brisk, but other than that the 3-day visit was a marvel from start to finish. The city itself is gorgeous, loaded with history and fantastic street scenes. The food is great and the beer is, of course, world-class (we ate lunch in the restaurant where the very first glass of Pilsner Urquell beer was ever poured, back in 1843). Prices were extremely reasonable and we found getting around via tram and subway to be very easy, even without benefit of speaking a word of Czech. The people were friendly, polite, and helpful and they certainly have plenty to be proud of in Prague. I found myself humming the most famous part of Smetana's "The Moldau" whenever the river came into view - typical sign of a guaranteed tourist, I guess. We both give Prague two very big thumbs up - Czech it out!
