Prague is a crooked world of Gothic greys and Baroque techni-color that even decades of Communism could not drain away. While a dreaming castle floats above a topsy-turvy old town studded with graceful spires and sturdy bridges, the Prague of today glows with a post-Millennial luster. Pack your senses of humor, adventure and romance and head for Behemia. Look inside for: A romantic escape, a night of opera and Becherovka, or simply wandering through myriad cobbled streets. This guide takes you off the tourist trail to the Prague only the locals know from Baroque curiosities to secluded gardens. It is packed with personal recommendations and insider knowledge to help you find the best of the city, from dungeons and palaces to the centuries of history bound up in Staromestske namesti. 80 hotels and 155 restaurants, plus bars and clubs, jazz venues, festivals, puppet theaters and concert halls have all been personally reviewed.
