While Prague remains the undisputable crown jewel of Czech cities, those who venture beyond its magnetic Medieval old town will luxuriate in ailment-curing thermal springs of West Bohemian Karlovy Vary, gape at the creepy Bone Church in Kutná Hora, delight in supreme Czech beer in Pilsen (or nearly any other town, for that matter: Pilsner Urquell certainly deserves its regalia, but multiple microbreweries have risen to rival the celebrity brand), and discover the laid-back region of Moravia with its animated, youthful capital of Brno.
”Moder Praha har klør” skrev Franz Kafka for snart hundre år siden. Og det er like sant i dag. Den som en gang har vandret i brosteingatene i de gotiske smugene og sett månen henge bak tårnene i Europas vakreste hovedstad, vender tilbake.
