The tram rattles away from Palladium and the city opens like a map—cobblestones, low-slung riverfronts, and the clipped greenery of parks where history still leaves its marks. You step into a Prague that remembers loudly: lunch in a tiled tavern, a beer garden with stories of a young Martina Navrátilová, then the hollowed site where a colossal Stalin statue once stood.
