I fell in love with Prague. It was welcoming, open-minded, and much more laid back than Vienna was. While grand architecture was still present it didn't suffocate you due to the large amounts of open space present in Prague. Prague was split in two "Old Town" and "New Town" both with differing architecture styles. These two styles are separated by a river that flows down the middle. Art is present where ever you turn in Prague. Without its art Prague would be a totally different, less enchanting city. My expectations of Prague couldn't have been more wrong. I was expecting it to be a louder Vienna. I didn't expect all the green space, the beautiful river, or the plethora of modern and classic art. Prague's architecture and landscape align perfectly with its culture. It's smaller scale and toned down architecture reflect its laid back attitude perfectly. The abundance of green and nature make it more welcoming than Vienna, it doesn't have the imperial rigid feel.
