Magnificent Prague. The City of Golden Magic

Prague didn’t get its name for nothing—threshold. Between heaven and earth, between light and darkness. This is an unreal city, a city that doesn’t actually exist. Here everything is not as it seems; everything is false, everything is scenery. Here every stone, every house keeps its own legends and stories, staging performances for a random traveler. In that damned river a waterwheel turns—waterniks, water, and water-dwellers; under the bridge, at the very heart of the city, mermaids giggle; a shadow of an alchemist with a golden nose prowls around; the spirits of Charles Bridge grant wishes. This carousel is endless, and each character in the Prague story is more interesting than the last. How does all of this fit with pork knuckles, goulash, a beer-drink, becherovka, and that sweet coffee-cup we’re going to have to find out from this book? Along the way we’ll drop into Budapest too, to uncover its secrets and try its dishes. Because to meet the best adventures, you have to go on a journey. Especially if they feed you deliciously there!
