Author: Rick Steves May 6, 2007 Duration: 53:30
Prague has recently become one of Europe's most popular cities. Two tour guides based in Prague offer tips on avoiding the summer flood of tourists and finding the city's substantial old world charm - and bargains. They'll recommend day trips into the Bohemian countryside which are now easier than ever thanks to improved rail service in the Czech Republic.

For an hour each week, the familiar, curious voice of Rick Steves guides you far beyond the standard tourist itinerary. Travel with Rick Steves is less about checking sights off a list and more about the conversations that happen along the way. Rick, America's leading authority on European travel and a seasoned guidebook author, sits down with a fascinating array of guest experts-historians, journalists, chefs, and local insiders-to delve into the heart of a destination. They discuss the layers of culture, history, and daily life that define a place, while callers chime in with their own questions and discoveries from the road. What you'll hear in this podcast is a genuine exploration of how connecting with different cultures and people adds a profound sparkle to our lives. It’s the thoughtful, accessible dialogue you’d have with a well-traveled friend, one who believes that travel is a powerful way to understand our world. Each episode feels like an invitation to look closer, whether the topic is the traditions of a remote village, the evolving cuisine of a bustling capital, or the simple joy found in a shared meal with strangers. This is for anyone who believes the journey itself-the stories, the misunderstandings, the moments of connection-is the real destination.
