Prague, the historic center of Bohemia and, today, the capital of the Czech Republic, is the place where Franz Kafka toiled and where a million people gathered inWenceslas Square to overthrow communism. But it’s also the place where you can find one of Frank Gehry’s most dynamic buildings, where Cubist architecture sits next to Gothic structures, and where Mozart was more admired than he was in Vienna. For an evening, get lost below the city’s famed 100 spires, walk over the sculpture-studded Charles Bridge, and explore the district celebrated in the film Amadeus.

David Farley is the co-editor of the travel essay collection Travelers’ Tales Prague and the Czech Republic.
