Pros: Beautiful city, great beer. Cons: Average food, locals understandably annoyed with you as a foreigner if you're under 30.

Pros: Fantastic public transportation Cons: Most Czechs do not speak English

Prague has been on my list of “Places to see before I Die” for years and years. I am not sure why I haven’t actually made it there until now – but one reason would be that living in Scotland for the last 13 years, direct flights can be a challenge, and I ...
Pros: good hotel discovery Cons: seedy housing alternatives; crime in the city
Last summer, I came to a shocking self-realization: I was no longer a low-maintenance, easy-going college student. As a working mid-twentysomething, I had gotten used to the luxuries of a private bath, clean sheets, a paycheck -- and who would...
Pros: Diverse, ever-rewarding city. Cons: Can be taxing - language barriers, finding your way around, etc.

Pros: Prague Castle, Czech Beer, used as a base to visit surrounding towns and countryside. Cons: Tourist trap numero uno. Finding accommodation. Nothing really outstanding. Getting expensive.
Prague or Praha to the Czechs is a nice city. Now, you must be wondering if that is the only adjective I can come up with. I am probably going to get some flak for this but I will stand up to my opinion. It is a nice city to visit, but it is not a grea ...
Pros: Amazing architecture and historic sites Cons: Increasingly expensive and touristy
Prague is one of the world's most beautiful, if enigmatic cities. Marked by its parallel histories of representing mankind at its best and worst, Prague captivates you one moment and leaves you shaking your head the next. On the one hand, it's ...

Pros: Fairy-tale architecture, authentic atmosphere, low prices, friendly people Cons: Dishonest cab drivers; shabby train station
Prague is magical. It has romantic little passages, graceful black spires, crooked cobbled streets, medieval houses growing around Gothic cathedrals, fine crystal shops, great beer, and the most amazing crafts of all the places I have been to.

Pros: Prague is a breathtaking city and is a worthy destination on any trip to Europe. Cons: Western tourists are slowly stealing the heart of Prague.
Trip Overview
On my recent trip to Prague, I found the city to be absolutely breathtaking, spellbinding, and yet, devastating. I had been planing the trip for almost a year and it was to be my second time in Europe. I had decided on...
Prague was a city whose unique style, beauty all its own I'd heard about for a long time and it was because of this that I pushed hard to start my trip through Europe there. I'm so glad I did.
In my opinion (and with the ability to look back), it...
Pros: Plenty of things to see, do, and buy Cons: None

Pros: beautiful, cheap, friendly, and attractive Cons: tourists, McDonalds, and throngs of drunken American students out for sex and cheap highs

Pros: Bathe yourself in history, soak up the music, the churches, the castle and the beer Cons: If you want western commercialism or a wild time - go elsewhere
Prague - a living museum piece, spires, churches, bridges, stunning castle, history, grandiose decadence. Almost untouched - but changing fast. Soak up some history and spend a few days in Prague. The Czech Republic stands proudly in the center of...

Prague is as enchanting as myriad writers have described. It is a treasure-house of culture and beauty. The Czech people are friendly and kind, but it is essential that tourists understand that pick-pocketing is at near-epidemic proportions in Prague....

Pros: Beautiful Disney-like architecture, still cheap, friendly people Cons: too many tourists in the summer

Pros: Tourists still relatively small in numbers... Cons: ...but not for long.

Pros: Magnificent architecture and charm Cons: Food and pickpockets

Pros: Truly Gorgeous Cons: The unfriendly people, con artists

Pros: cheap, fantastic food, great views and great night life Cons: extremely hard language to speak

Pros: Fast, clean, efficient Cons: shuts off at midnight

Pros: advanced technology, embedded history Cons: transitional dynamics
Labyrinthine Prague again surprises in the best of seasons, winter, January, 2000 -- wet cobblestones, wet wool, wet flakes of snow across a full moon rising, casting crowns on the stately, black Vltava as it flows north under the bridges, then, almost...

I went on a bus tour from Germany to Prague at the end of July, 2000. I wanted to go to Prague, because it is still very undiscovered as a tourist destination, unlike Paris, Rome, and so on. I was very happy with the city, but what I loved the most...

Pros: Everything in this city pull you to visit it again. 15 words aren't enough. Cons: Food is not for my taste.

Pros: Very cheap, great beer and food & friendly people Cons: None

Pros: Fairy Tale beautiful... enchanting... magical Cons: not enough time

Pros: Cheap food, beautiful scenery, the history, the architecture... I could go on. Cons: Czech food is heavy, and pretty much tastes bad

Pros: Beautiful in Summer Cons: Ugly as Sin in Winter
Prague is a schizophrenic city. If you visit there in the winter, you will likely become depressed. Against the dirty white snow backdrop, Prague architecture looks communist gray and cold. The wind is bitting, so long strolls on Charles bridge or in the...
Pros: The most beautiful city in the world. Cons: None.
Prague is the hidden jewel of Europe. I have been to many places, and never have I beheld the beauty that this city contains. Because a lot of it remained standing during the war, there is an air of the old that cannot be erased. It's astounding to...
