You step onto cobblestones that still remember medieval footsteps, the Vltava running like a patient guide between the city’s two faces. On the left bank the river nudges you toward the low-slung lanes of Lesser Town, the brooding silhouette of Prague Castle above, and the playful graffiti of the Lennon Wall. Cross Charles Bridge and the right bank opens with the concentric streets of Old Town and the grand boulevards of New Town, where Art Nouveau facades keep watch.
