Prague

The Old Town is a maze of winding alleys, baroque churches and ornate façades. Don’t miss the astronomical clock on the Old Town Hall, or the Gothic Charles Bridge – lined with statues and musicians – which links to the historic castle district. A popular excursion is a guided walk ending with panoramic views from Prague CastleMany cruises include a hotel night here, giving time to enjoy the café culture, riverside beer gardens and the city’s famously atmospheric evenings.

Went on the Danube Cruise had a great time so interesting. All the staff were so friendly and helpful especially with my husband and his mobility scooter. The food was delicious. Couldn’t ask for better
