You step out from a hotel on the left bank and the city opens like a map: cobbled streets drop toward the Vltava, the river cutting a silver line that dares you to cross. The guide threads stories between spires as you climb toward Prague Castle, pausing where the city unfurls below — red roofs, baroque facades, and the slow current of the Vltava.
