Prague

If one desires architecture, history and relaxed European atmosphere Prague is a perfect destination. The weather as a whole is a lot more pleasant for walking tours in the late summer as daytime temperatures hover around low to mid 20s C.

Prague’s highlights are Charles Bridge, the Prague Castle, the Old Town Square, and the river Vltava. Long August evenings also allow the opportunity to enjoy some sightseeing and rooftop dining, riverside walks and outdoor cafés.

The city centre is easily accessible from the airport by car, which takes about 25–30 minutes; other public transport options are also available for budget-hungry visitors.

Glasgow
