If you're a fan of amber ale, unspoiled architecture, world-class Christmas markets and cheap snacks, then it's highly likely you'll be partial to a holiday in Prague. Nicknamed the City of a Hundred Spires, the Czech Republic's capital offers a bevvy of classic European experiences. Architecturally, Prague remained relatively intact during World War II, meaning travellers can explore an untapped supply of Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture that is tricky to find elsewhere in Europe. If you're on a budget, you'll be happy to hear that Prague is considered one of the cheapest European capitals. In other words, you can feast on the city's iconic snacks like chimney cakes, goulash and dumplings without breaking the bank. Other must-see attractions include the Astronomical Clock and Prague Castle. Spanning a massive 17 acres and including the goth St Vitus Cathedral, defence towers, museums and the presidential palace, this lush residence is a highly regarded stop in any Prague holiday. As you walk through the city centre, you'll likely stumble upon the busy shops of Wenceslas Square and the history-rich Jewish corner, which is home to the Jewish Museum and Old-New Synagogue. Last but certainly not least, be sure to join the Czechs in their favourite past-time - beer. As the biggest global consumers of beer per capita, it's safe to say you'll be able to find a pint of Pilsner on every street corner (including Mcdonald's). We'll cheers to that.
