Prague can certainly be called one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The capital of the Czech Republic is a rare place in which the beauty of ancient, truly medieval streets and the original architecture of modern buildings are harmoniously combined.
 
Christmas is the best time to visit Prague, when the city is especially attractive with bright lights. You should visit Prague in the spring, for example, in May. It is not the season - November and February, but it is at this time that many local hotels and restaurants reduce their prices by almost half, so tourists can enjoy nice discounts.

As experienced travelers point out, it is better to visit places you will not find in the guidebooks - just walk through the streets of Prague, exploring the menus of restaurants and pubs. You will definitely find an establishment with affordable prices and a wide selection of dishes.
