Walking in Prague
Prague's historic centre survived the twentieth century largely intact. Its Old Town, Charles Bridge and castle district make one of the finest walks in Europe.
Hills. Flat Old Town and New Town; a steep climb to the castle by stairs or Nerudova.
Surfaces. Almost all streets in the centre are cobbled. Soles with some grip matter more than style, particularly in rain, and wheels of any kind have a hard time.
