Parizska Street, Prague

When you stroll down Pařížská Street, just a hop away from Wenceslas Square, you might do a double take and wonder if you've somehow teleported to the heart of Paris. This boulevard is the epitome of elegance – and the apex of expense – in Prague. With its chic buildings and leafy sidewalks, it could easily rival any 'haute couture' avenue in the French capital, hence the name. Sure, you might not be splurging on designer duds or crystal chandeliers, but a leisurely stroll along this lovely street is an experience in itself.

As you amble along from Old Town Square to the river, prepare to be dazzled by the world's most prestigious brands and the sight of luxurious cars like Bugattis and Bentleys parked in pristine rows. Peer into shop windows showcasing exquisite Karlovarsky porcelain and Celetná crystal, a testament to the street's penchant for opulence. Travel agencies here cater to the jet-setting elite, while the lavish 5-star hotels roll out the red carpet for their discerning guests – including the occasional sighting of A-list actors occupying their opulent suites.

But fear not if your pockets aren't as deep as the Mariana Trench – there are still plenty of reasonably priced restaurants to tempt your taste buds. Treat yourself to a feast of oysters, mussels, and other delectable seafood delights at the Belgian eatery Les Moules. And don't forget to explore the charming side streets, where hidden gems await – from quirky boutiques to cozy bookshops and even an old-fashioned general store. Who knows what treasures you'll uncover in this ancient quarter of Prague!
