The #1 most epic eastern European city, and popular expat location.
Prague’s status has gone up so much higher than I expected since I’ve first visited here in 2009. If you haven’t stayed updated on Prague lately, I think you’re missing out. It is absolutely the scene right now. I think it’s one of the best places to live for many reasons. But also because it’s very centrally located to many other awesome towns. Great for a dynamic social lifestyle.
I consider Prague to be something like a perfect combination of Paris, Rome, Berlin, London, Budapest. It’s beautiful, posh, cultured, but also chill, hipster, small, cozy, walkable. It’s the absolute best of both worlds of big city and small city. There’s lots to do but yet cozy enough to walk and relax instead of feeling like you have to jump all over town to get anywhere. Green space, buildings, bridges, parks, cafes, clubs, bars, arts…there’s something for everyone. Many cool people I know have already lived here and/or been traveling here for events and things.
You can see the highlights in 3 days, but you seriously might want an extra one to really enjoy its beauty.
