During a walk in Prague, you will passes by a wide variety of places and places. These are not always among the sights that immediately attract visitors to the city. But often it is precisely these places that make you discover a city from a completely different perspective.
Again and again we decide to visit exactly these places. The more often or the longer we are in the city, the more interesting these destinations become. Prague is no exception, there are beautiful places here that are rarely on the list of day and weekend visitors.
