A hundred spires over a bend in the Vltava, a medieval bridge lined with saints, and an astronomical clock that has kept its own strange time for six centuries. Prague came through the twentieth century almost intact, so its Gothic lanes, Baroque palaces, and Art Nouveau facades still stand shoulder to shoulder. Walk the city Kafka never left, at your own pace and on your own schedule.
