    From Rick Steves: “The National Museum on Wenceslas Square has wrapped up a years-long renovation. Visitors now see its interior, richly decorated in the Czech Revival style that heralded the 19th-century rebirth of the Czech nation. And, the city’s Vyšehrad river embankment is a fun place to hang out, having been recently spiffed up with cafés, restaurant barges, and a lively farmers market on Saturdays.”

    Departures for Independent Prague: Architecture and the Arts are available most months throughout 2016. Accommodations at the beautifully restored, circa-1910 Hotel Petr. A non-profit company specializing in affordable, educational tours for adults, Road Scholar is a non-profit (formerly Elderhostel).

      I traveled to Prague last year. I never tired of walking across the Charles Bridge where each time of day would bring a different experience. From the sheen of early morning light on the water to the mid-day stroll enlivened by local musicians and the eventual evening amble as the sunset cast a glow on the sculptures lining the walkway. It was all magic and majesty.
