After Berlin, I journeyed to what would become my favorite destination on this trip.

Prague was beautiful, rich in history, and a lot of fun. I was obsessed with the beer — which, much to my surprise, exceeded Belgium in both availability and affordability. Everywhere I turned there was another cozy pub pouring perfectly crisp Pilsner.

I couldn’t stop fawning over the castles and cathedrals, towering over the city with centuries of stories behind them. Even on a more mundane level, I found the city impeccably clean and remarkably safe.
