Capital City of Prague
Locals call it Praha, but you might just call it a maze for walkers who forgot their compass. The travel destination popular things to do or visit usually start with Charles Bridge at sunrise, where you’ll hear the echo of your own feet—unless you’re late, then it’s just backpacks and selfie sticks. I once got lost in the Jewish Quarter for an hour, but found the best strudel of my life and a cat that followed me three blocks. You could try to find the best hotel in Prague, but your definition of 'best' will shift after the first bowl of goulash at midnight under a neon sign that only blinks 'el'.

What to do in Prague beyond the obvious
People rave about the Astronomical Clock, but nobody mentions the crowds counting down together like they’re waiting for New Year's Eve at noon. If you want to get a different view, climb Petřín Hill, but brace yourself—a local once told me the funicular goes slower than a snail on holiday. In autumn, the leaves stick to your shoes, which means you’re taking a bit of Prague home whether you want to or not.
Many folks believe the best hotel in Prague is the one with the most stars, but I once stayed in a place where the receptionist knew the name of my dog (even though I didn't bring one). Popular things to do or visit include hunting for hidden courtyards, which tend to reveal themselves only when you stop looking. My friend tried to order coffee at a puppet theater, which was a mistake, but the marionette did wink at him—he claims it anyway. Sometimes, Prague hands you a story instead of a souvenir, and sometimes, you just end up with a suitcase full of receipts and one missing sock.
