🏯 Prague

Prague's Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle are among the most beautiful sights in Europe — but the city is now one of the most visited in the world, and the historic centre can feel more like a theme park than a real city. Stag parties and tourist traps dominate the centre.

Brno

🍷 Brno

Brno is the Czech Republic's second city and a thriving university town with a genuinely authentic old town, excellent Moravian wine country on its doorstep, and some of Europe's best functionalist architecture (Villa Tugendhat is a UNESCO-listed masterpiece). Prices are 40% lower than Prague.
