Prague is the better first trip to Europe if Paris or Rome feels too big, too expensive, or too spread out. We spent two nights at the W Prague on Wenceslas Square and walked almost everything: Old Town, the castle side, and dinner. In this video we cover why we would start here instead of Paris or Rome, what two days actually felt like, the people, the prices, the food, and the one crowd you should still expect. What we cover Arrival from Václav Havel to the hotel on foot after one bus Why the center is easier to walk than Paris or Rome How people treated a short stay What beer, a pub plate, and one nicer dinner cost Food at three levels: chimney cake, Lokál Dlouhááá, and TRITON History you can cover in one walking day Where the crowds still are, and why two nights was enough We are Chris and Wendy. This stop was the start of a rail trip through Salzburg, Brescia, Lucerne, Strasbourg, and Luxembourg before a Holland America crossing. Chapters If you have done both, tell us in the comments whether you would still start in Paris or Rome.
