PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE: How to Feel, Eat and Live the Most Beautiful City in Central Europe
About this audiobook
Prague is the city that time forgot to destroy.
While the rest of Europe's great capitals lost their medieval centers to bombs, Haussmann boulevards and industrial progress, Prague remained intact looking at the twentieth century from its Gothic towers. The result is the most complete and best-preserved medieval historic center in all of continental Europe. But beneath that incomparable beauty there is a history as dense and as dramatic as any city in the world: the Munich Agreement that handed it to Hitler, the Soviet tanks crushing the Prague Spring in 1968 and the Velvet Revolution of 1989 that ended forty-one years of Communism in a matter of weeks.
In just over an hour you will discover how to get around a city where the Soviet metro coexists with medieval alleyways, what to see without wasting time, where to eat the svíčková and guláš that truly deserve those names, where to drink the world's best beer for under two euros a half-liter and how to organize your trip around however many days you have. Complete with itineraries for two, four and six days, practical advice on weather, money and safety, and the best day trips from the city: Kutná Hora with its bone Ossuary, Český Krumlov, Karlštejn and Brno with Mies van der Rohe's Villa Tugendhat.
Prague is waiting for you. And it is exactly as extraordinary as they say, and at the same time completely different from everything you imagine before arriving.
