A mercedes hums away from a hotel curb and the city opens like a map: the Vltava threads under stone bridges, towers puncture the skyline, and cobbled alleys slope toward a castle on a high, wind-brushed ridge. In four hours a private driver-guide stitches together the river valley, Vyšehrad’s fortress walls, Prague Castle’s layered defenses, the baroque lanes of the Lesser Town and the concentrated spectacle of Old Town Square with its Astronomical Clock.
