Personal comments
Prague has lots of culture activities, as theater, music events (gipsy music, rock and classic operas); very interesting at night. On the other hand, Czech Republic is one of the biggest beer producer, and is famous for its quality; the city is full of old and traditional pubs for drinking it.
