Czech capital works its magic on visitors. Walking through the city streets is like watching a movie, your mind switches off and your eyes follow images of the historical sites. Especially now, when the Christmas spirit has overwhelmed the city with street markets, crepes' stalls and the overall cinnamon scent, Prague is a truly magical place in December.
Sightseeing attractions are within a walking distance, which makes visiting Prague easy and invites to take a relaxing stroll.
