As an American who lives in Colorado, I’m used to hopping in my car to do almost everything. But in Prague, I didn’t need a car once. Most of the time, I walked to wherever I needed to go.
Although I’d likely balk at a 45-minute walk in the US, I found myself eagerly putting on my shoes for the same in Prague. Why? Because each walk felt like an experience.
The city is home to jaw-dropping architecture, art installations, and green spaces. During every stroll, I’d notice a new statue or hidden detail, like how the city’s coat of arms is engraved onto every manhole cover.
Although the cobblestone sidewalks did give my feet a workout, they were so picturesque that I didn’t mind.
When I needed to venture a little farther, Prague’s public transportation was second to none. The iconic trams were frequent, reliable, and incredibly charming.
