Q4: What would you suggest to a first-time traveler to Prague (where to eat, sleep, sightsee, etc.)?
#JSETT A4 As always I’d tell them to ask locals where they would go, skip the tourist traps and enjoy what the locals do.

@JetsetExtra A4: Staying in the city centre is a good option. There are many great cafes and restaurants to choose from. #JSETT

A4 Prague Castle early in the morning to avoid the crowds, stay on the west side of the river, less tourists #JSETT https://t.co/EFMHLVj9cr

A4.) Letna Park, watch for the pickpockets, pay cash to save room on a hotel and make the Chapeau Rouge your “home” bar. #JSETT
