Experience in Prague, Czech Republic by Dominika

What is it like to live in Prague? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Prague is a very beautiful city. It's really touristic, but due to being smaller than other capitals it's a bit more relaxed. There are a lot of beautiful sights you must see. Cool and cheap places for foreigners to have a party and drink in pubs. Weather is fine, colder winters and beautiful spring and summer. It's a safe city full of things to do.
