PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC – The Czech capital, steeped in centuries of history and shrouded in myth, continues to captivate visitors even as interest surges following its prominent โฃrole in โคDan Brown’s latest thriller, The Secret of Secrets. Beyond the novel’s fictional intrigue, Prague offers a tangible sense of mystery, woven into โits architecture, its breweries, and hidden corners โคthat beckon exploration.
For centuries, Prague has been โa crossroads of European culture, a city of alchemists, emperors, andโ artists.

One evening, a toast to the city is โฃraised at theโ U Pinkasลฏ brewery.
