Prague: Unleashing the Wild Heart of Europe

Oh, what a journey it was to get here, but Prague has rewarded me with an unforgettable adventure. If there's one piece of advice I'd offer to fellow travelers venturing through Europe by train, it's this: always, without exception, book a seat reservation. I had heeded this advice, luckily, and secured a seat for my four-hour journey from Berlin to Prague. However, the train was a chaotic scene, with many passengers standing in the aisles or perched on their suitcases in any available nook. It was a lesson in preparedness.
