I was originally planning to spend four days in Prague, but my flight got canceled due to weather, so I only managed three days there. One piece of advice I always give my clients is to arrive at their destination early to allow some flexibility in case of such incidents, to avoid missing boarding and having to rush at the next stop. Moreover, spending the day waiting through delays, shuttling between hotels and airports, can be incredibly exhausting. In conclusion, I was still able to use the 3 days to relax and unwind, and being less than 4 hours away by car from Nuremberg.

Travel with me as I inspect this 176-room hotel that pays homage to Prague’s heritage—some rooms feature a statue of Bruncvík’s lion above the beds—while maintaining a lively atmosphere with vibrantly colored furnishings. I experienced firsthand the unique blend of history and contemporary flair, complemented by an avant-garde bistro serving innovative cuisine and whimsical cocktails, as well as creative workspaces perfect for mixing business with pleasure.

I visited Prague as a prelude to my luxury river cruise starting in Nuremberg with Uniworld Boutique River Cruise. It was a convenient way to experience a bucket-list city without an additional trip, and to gauge if it merits a longer visit in the future. Prague exceeded my expectations; the architectural detail and preservation of the facades are impeccable.

The view overlooking the Vltava River, with Prague Castle in the background, was breathtaking. The Prague astronomical clock, dating back to 1410, fascinated me as the third-oldest and still functional astronomical clock in the world.

Old Town is charmingly walkable, lined with quaint cafes. Crossing the Charles Bridge towards St. Nicholas Church was a highlight of the trip.

Anthony Bourdain Day

Born on this day, raised from a dishwasher to an entertainer. Had he not achieved such success, could he still be among us, savoring the dawn on unfamiliar roads with his loved ones?
In today's world, there's immense pressure to impress, to vacation, and flood social media with pics what seem original, eagerly awaiting responses. Yet, amidst this, one might miss the essence: simply experiencing, just for oneself, and returning with stories from beyond one's usual confines. Bourdain sought to be a storyteller, not merely a purveyor of stories. Thanks for being real Tony!

Get an exclusive peek into what we saw. Nestled in Kathmandu, Nepal, The Dwarika's Hotel is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and architectural significance. Founded by Dwarika Das Shrestha, the hotel's story began when he witnessed carpenters sawing intricate 13th-century wood carvings for firewood. Determined to preserve these artifacts, he became a visionary entrepreneur dedicated to safeguarding Nepal's cultural legacy.
His passion for traditional craftsmanship and architecture gave rise to this unique hotel, offering luxurious accommodations including beautifully appointed rooms, suites, and heritage suites. Each space is meticulously designed with authentic Nepalese elements, providing guests with an immersive cultural experience.
