Locals in Prague love their beer. In fact, Czech Republic has the highest beer consumption per capita than any other nation. The destination is also one of the very few places around the world where you can experience a ‘beer spa’. It is a treatment that involves being dunked in a tub of Czech beer and is believed to improve immunity and provide revitalization.
A very narrow street
Believe it or not, Prague’s narrowest street is barely 50cm wide. Due to its tiny size, it has its own traffic light.
The light prevents pedestrians from meeting in the middle and not having enough space to walk past each other.
