Prague

Pros: A cheap, fantastic, gorgeous city that's easy to get around in!
Cons: It's so far away that getting back takes some effort on my part!

After four months of writing nonstop reviews, I'm running out of stuff to review. While some people would take this as a sign and shut the hell up, I see it as a challenge and decided to branch into areas that I've never reviewed in before. And so march ...

Pros: Architecture, history, scenery, food, friendly people, cleanliness.
Cons: Loads of tourists, persistent drug dealers in Old Town Square (they're harmless, though)

Pros: Historical significance, accessible, affordable, multi-cultural
Cons: None

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: Magnificent architecture and charm
Cons: Food and pickpockets

My wife and I visited Prague in October 2005. It is an architecturally beautiful and charming city and exceeds its reputation. Prague was relatively spared during WWII so its antiquities are all there. For someone interested in architecture, Prague is ...

Pros: The single most gorgeous city view I've ever seen
Cons: The center is a tourist funnel.

Prague was our last big fling before we moved back to the States from Europe. It was a city that had been on our endless list of places we wanted to see while living on the continent, despite a few grumblings and caveats we'd heard from certain friends ...

Pros: Lots of attractions and cheap stuff, great beer
Cons: Crime, many policeman, pickpockets, and prostitutes

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

I never could imagine the city may be so beautiful and romantic. No, it's not because a lot of beer I drunk there :) It's really so. I think, life is too short to visit the same place twice. I was in Prague whole week and it is not enough. Definitely, ...

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

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

Prague is a truly beautiful city, but that alone doesn't make it worth a visit when you remember that Europe is full of beautiful cities. I know many people are full of praise for the city, but most of this praise tends not to go deeper than ...

Pros: An important center of Jewish history in full revival.
Cons: The "disneyesque" use of the Prague golem as a tourist emblem.
