My experience
This is Rachana's own 5-day itinerary for Prague, Czech Republic — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Four Seasons Hotel Prague, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
