Prague is wonderful, wonderful! I can't say enough good! Everybody should go! It's inexpensive by western standards, like visiting Mexico. And a lot of people understand at least a little english,and are helpful. Why is Prague so great? Two reasons I think. One is that it was not bombed during WW2, so the old Medieval center of the city is still there, still thriving, there is much more left than anywhere else. Why else? History, I think. The Austrians invaded and conquered Prague (and hte now Czech Republic) in the 1400's, and ownership was passed to the Nazis and then to the Soviet Union. Only in recent years did they become truly free and independant. (they showed their coolness by electing a poet, Vaclav Havel, as president). So for 600 years the people were not allowed to put any of their energy into military activity or nationalism. Their outlet therefore became art, music, culture. One artist who uniquely expressed Prague and the Czech people is Mucha. We know him for his wonderful Art Nouveau posters and advertisements. Although he made his fame in Paris, Mucha was from Prague and was a huge supporter of Czech artistic ideals.
