European Vacations to Exciting Prague

Hop on a plane to Prague to start off your European vacations. Go clubbing and experience bar-top stripping and extreme drinking. The Czechs locally produced beers are considered a national treasure. Gambrinus is a popular label, but it is not considered the best. That distinction was given to Kozel's Medium when it was named the Best Czech Beer by the Research Institute of Brewing & Malting Awards. But if you ask any local about their beer preference, Pilsner Urquell is the hands-down favorite; many say it is because of the water quality in the city which is used for brewing. During the day, take time to see Prague's many wholesome attractions. The medieval astronomical clock in the town square has been standing tall since 1490.
