About Prague
Prague is one of Europe's most beautiful cities — a fairy-tale landscape of Gothic churches, Baroque palaces, and winding cobblestone streets. The beer is world-class and cheaper than water, and the Old Town Square rivals any in Europe.

Travel Tips for Prague
Cross Charles Bridge at sunrise to avoid the crowds — it gets very packed by 10am.
Czech Republic uses Koruna, not Euro. Currency exchange on the street is often a scam.
Beer is exceptionally cheap — often under $2 for a pint at a local pub.
Tipping 10% is customary in restaurants. Always round up at pubs.
