Morning light cuts across the Vltava and the castle’s red roofs as your local guide meets you at the Old Town bridge. Cobbled lanes run like veins through the medieval core; the river dares you to slow down and watch life pass by on wooden rafts. This is a day for looking up—at frescoed facades, carved stone, and a castle complex that dominates the town from its rocky promontory.
