Today, we are venturing across the pond to Prague for this Destination Spotlight. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a beachfront escape just as much as the next girl, but sometimes, you just need a bustling city to explore. At a glance, the Czech Republic appears to be similar to its surrounding neighbors of Poland, Austria, or Germany. But if you look closer, you quickly realize that the intricately tiled sidewalks and colored buildings set it apart from its neighbors. A city that’s over 1,000 years old, Prague possesses an extraordinary charm about it that can only really be understood by those who have visited the intriguing, historical city.

One of my favorite places to stay in Prague is The Augustine. The picturesque history of this Czech capital city, while apparent in any of the ancient buildings lining the city streets, The Augustine is a perfect example of the “New Prague,” taking the old and revolutionizing it. Converted from a 14th century monastery, The Augustine overlooks the Prague Castle, the largest castle in the world! The hotel is dressed head to toe with a Bohemian mid-century modern feel and was featured in Elle Decor’s 2009 “What’s Hot” column.

While you’re in Prague be sure to make reservations of V Zatisi, Prague’s most famous restaurant that has just undergone an extensive facelift you can’t afford to miss out on. Make sure to also stop by the cozy, stone-walled restaurant of Le Terroir. Known for their Mediterranean-inspired Czech food, Le Terroir has an excellent wine list with over 650 vintages.
