Prague is a city with beautiful architecture and a lot of culture. From a Balkan perspective, it is a nice capital city in western europe, with very development public transportation and clean roads. But for the many tourists from North America, Prague is eastern Europe.
The location of a country in Europe used to be correlated to how developed the economy and infrastructure of the country was, during the cold war. But now, the correlation is largely broken, with Poland's rise demonstrating that eastern Europe may surpass western Europe's economic influence in the continent in the next decade or two.

Prague's grand cafes vary from modest to opulent. Cafe Imperial is on the opulent side of the spectrum.

Prague has many paternosters around the city, although very few are accessible to the public. This one is in the YMCA building and is one of the more beautiful ones.
This old fashioned phone board in an old cafe used to connect the cafe to other cafes. While I may have a romantic vision of that bygone era, modern conveniences sure are convenient.
The city also has several tea shops filled with a wide variety of teas and tea accessories. For example, these amazing kyusu teapots from Japan
Clay teapots of all shapes
One of the most exotic teapots I have ever seen, made locally in the Czech Republic
Just another shelf of tea accessories
