A tourist is not the same as a wanderer. Both of them might be traveling from the same place, but their destination will more often than not be different. One of the rare occasions, when a tourist and a wanderer heads to the same place, is when the terminus is Prague<\/a>. Despite being a popular tourist spot, Prague has not succumbed to the pitfalls of fame. Its millennium-old heart is nestled firmly amidst history and culture. Prague\u2019s lanes have retained their old world charm. The art galleries still show what Prague really is on the inside. Furthermore, the native microbreweries spew some of the best beers you are ever likely to find in the world. This beer is the perfect metaphor for a tour of Prague, even in April.<\/p>\n
