Prague Quotes
A city described in two very different lights.
These Prague quotes swing between admiration and unease, with one speaker calling it the Paris of the '90s and another describing it as simply dark. A third recalls being in Paris rather than Prague during a pivotal historical moment. For more travel reflections, see our Tom Reiss quotes.
