Ambassador Zlata Husa, Prague

Advantages: history
Disadvantages: graffiti

...I was on a city break to Prague and had a winderful time. The weather was great, the food outstanding, the people friendly, the hotel fantastic. While in Prague there is so much to do and see that you will undoubtedly run out of time. I used a whole day to visit Terezin and the Ghettos - humbly to a huge degree.

Advantages: When you spot it, you always know where you are!!!!!!!

Prague is a winding city adn it can be hard to get your bearings so we just looked up and when we saw the powder gate we knew where we were!! It really is a medieval compass and a must see sight in Prague!!!... Read review
