Prague (Praha) is the capital of the Czech Republic since 1993, from 1918 to 1992 of Czechoslovakia.

Prague is also great for clubing and pubing. Two best open pubs well worth the climb are in Letenske Sady and Riegrovy Sady - great atmosphere, great beer, great view. Best time to pay a visit is from early sprint to late fall.

Ztraty a Nalezy on Vinohradska street just 5mins walk up from Wienceslaw Square (Vaclavske Namesti). But not just here, in general Czech cuisine is meat based - If you're a vegetarian, then you're ... untucky. (there are some nice places too, but in general: poor you)

Prague , Safety:

If you come from the USA, than you're not going to believe it - you can be an attractive fragile female and you can walk the streets of Prague on your own at midnight not risking anything more than just getting lost.
