A cold wind pushes along the Vltava as you step onto Křižovnické Square beneath the bronze statue of Charles IV — the guide raises an orange umbrella and the city unfolds. The tour threads the Old Town’s stone alleys, crosses the centuries-old Charles Bridge, climbs by panoramic tram toward Prague Castle, then drifts back downstream on a wooden-style boat with a plate of svíčková and a glass of Moravian wine.
