Time to treat yourself this Christmas and start planning for a spring adventure! Check out the Prague Half Marathon and Marathon and mark your calendars for April 6 and May 5 – you don't want to miss it!

Hold on to your popcorn because Prague is a movie star! Think Spider-Man: Far from Home, Casino Royale and Amadeus. Check out the Old Town Square tower – the world's oldest ticking clock shows time, month, season and star constellations.
