It’s so crowded that you are literally touching shoulders with people in the streets. Almost no one lives there. The city is nearly empty after 7 p.m.. St. Mark’s Square seems to flood daily.

I’ve been to Prague 3 or 4 times, and the first few times were lovely. The city is beautiful and rich in history. They have great restaurants and obviously great beer. But, unfortunately the city has become a Bachelor(ette) party destination and the whole aura of the city has been ruined.
