When to go to Prague?
Baroque saints line Charles Bridge, and the river bends below towards Prague Castle on its ridge, the view that fills every postcard. In the Old Town Square, the astronomical clock runs through its procession of apostles on the hour, to a crowd that reassembles every time. The synagogues of Josefov keep their own quieter streets a few minutes away.
