Among the city’s most iconic highlights is the John Lennon Wall, the only corner of the city where street art is legal. Covered with lyrics from his songs and positive messages, the wall represents the importance of freedom, peace, and free thinking. Among the historic attractions, every hour on the hour you can watch the Astronomical Clock, the oldest in the world still in operation, built in 1380. With its intricate mechanism and a legend that traces its history, it is a true work of art. Or you can lose yourself in Golden Lane, among ateliers and cottages, and feel like you’ve been transported back to the 16th century. (Look for number 22, where Franz Kafka lived.)

Prague is wonderful in every season, but in autumn it is tinged with truly special colors and atmospheres, thanks also to the foliage that colors the streets of the center yellow, red, and orange, giving the city a dreamlike atmosphere.

But Prague is also a destination for fine dining: in addition to trying its signature dessert—trdelnik—whose aroma of sugar and cinnamon fills the air of the city center streets, you can indulge in the latest innovations in local cuisine. Among the many restaurants worth trying in the city is the Michelin-starred Field, just steps from the historic center: the ambiance is pared-back in its lines and finishes, minimalist yet warm and welcoming. Here, chef Radek Kašpárek focuses on local products, inextricably linked to the region, with a strong presence of herbs and vegetables, prepared with respect and seasonality, with a distinct Scandinavian touch.
