Prague Named World’s 6th-Best Travel Destination

Popular travel resource TripAdvisor announced some new 2016 Travelers’ Choice Awards yesterday, with UK capital London tapped as the world’s top travel destination. Prague came in at number 6.

“We hear the question, “What’s the next Prague?” a lot. But while we’re all for discovering great new destinations, we hardly think Prague is over. Sure, everyone’s heard of it, but it’s still a grand city with extraordinary historic and cultural sights, and it’s definitely worth a visit. The often-rebuilt Prague Castle has overlooked the city since the 9th century, and the synagogues and cemetery of the Jewish Quarter are must-sees. Nightlife here is diverse and plentiful, from trendy clubs to sophisticated wine bars to late-night cellar bars.”
