Evening light spills across the cobblestones of Prague’s Old Town as your guide leads you down a narrow alley toward a dimly lit absinthe bar. In two hours you’ll move between ancient cafés, medieval lanes and modern cocktail rooms, camera in hand, tasting small measures of a spirit that still carries an outlaw reputation. The city’s stones seem to remember imperial courts and café debates; the Vltava’s current pushes the skyline into motion beyond the bridges.
