A morning in Prague begins at the World of Franz Kafka statue, where the guide waits and the cobbles still hold last night’s rain. The group moves through Old Town Square beneath the Astronomical Clock’s patient faces; stories of kings, merchants and clockmakers are spoken aloud as the city wakes. Later, the Vltava calls—its wide surface reflecting spires and bridges—and a one-hour cruise lets the architecture slide by from water level, with an audio guide filling gaps the walking tour leaves.
