]]>Segway is a wonderful idea to start the encounter with the city—as it is easy, fun, and simple and not very expensive.
It is recommended to stay in a hotel in an area called Mala Strana—which is the “small old town”—or in the old town district.
It is very advisable to take flat and comfortable shoes (even in the evening), because of the ancient tiles are covering most of the city floors.
Food, drinks, and accommodation are very cheap. Shopping will be a little more expensive.
On a walk in the city, do not hesitate to enter small alleys, where you will find cafes and magical restaurants that will serve you coffee, cakes, and wonderful ice cream in the classic Eastern European tradition.
Choose a restaurant that is not in tourist centers and order a plate of Goulash stew in paprika sauce with fresh bread with a cold beer on the side. We promise you that you will fall in love with the city of Prague.

]]>Here are some great tips for your next staycation!
Living by the sea but have never taken a surfing course? This is your chance. Amazing attractions that we do not experience in our daily lives are often hiding right under our noses.
Many cities offer guided tours to museums or markets. This is a great opportunity to experience the city as tourists, learn about the history of the neighborhoods and the hidden corners of your hometown.
Have you always wanted to try the Ethiopian restaurant on the corner but never found the time? The fried fish stand in the market always looked great, but you were hesitant to give it a try? Well now is as good a time as any!
Many cities offer night attractions such as street performances, parties, open-air cinemas movie screenings, and more. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience your city at night, when everyone else is asleep.

]]>Let’s be honest, when was the last time you have been to your local museums? We assume it’s been a long time ago. So why not give them a visit? There are always new and exciting exhibitions worth seeing. So, next stop: your local museum.
You have passed by that old-school-looking building a million times, but what can you say about it? Do you know its history? When was it built, or by who? Do a little research. You will be surprised with all the info you can learn.
An old church is always a good place to see. Have you ever been to your local synagogue? What do you know about its history?
Who was the person whose name bears the biggest and most famous street in your city? Check it out, and play tourist for one day. For example, revisit your favorite shops and boutiques.

]]>This innovative way to discover a city combines the best of both worlds, traveling on both land and water to give a unique perspective on the highlights of those places. So, how does it work?
Duck tours are offered on vehicles that have been designed to work on both land and water. The idea was pioneered in 1946 in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin by people who repurposed amphibious vehicles from World War II into tour automobiles.
There are still plenty of operators in different cities that re-use vehicles that were designed for military use, but some companies even make special vehicles designed for these tours. After a time cruising around the center of a city on roads, the vehicle approaches a ramp to a nearby body of water, enters, and begins to float!
Duck tours have the advantage of showing off a side of cities that normal, land-based vehicles can’t offer. For example, in New York City, the view of the Manhattan skyline from the Hudson River is something that can’t be seen on a regular tour bus.
What do you think? Are duck tours worth all of the hype?
