The political term, defenestration (literally, ´to be thrown out of a window´), was first coined in Prague in the fifteenth century, when a political dispute led to several hapless councillors being turfed out of a window of the New Town Hall.

It´s one of Europe´s most popular cities, and with awe inspiring architecture, a world-renowned creative arts scene, nonstop nightlife and cosmopolitan cuisine, who´s going to argue?

Put Best of Prague in your pocket and see it all for yourself.
