A morning in Prague begins beneath narrow Gothic arches and the low rumble of tram bells. The guide leads through sunlit alleys where cobbles still hold the echo of centuries, pausing at a bakery that smells of warm butter and poppy seed. Guests move from a family-run bistro to a small butcher’s counter, tasting open-faced chlebíčky, smoked meats, and the dense, comforting dumplings that have shaped Czech tables.
