Czech Republic: Historic center of Prague
Score: 65

"Prague remains one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with the historic center the highlight. Concerns about tourism pressures need to be addressed to remain the high-quality cultural heritage experience it has been."

"The historic center of Prague is visually appealing with a walkable streetscape and wonderful historic architecture. After a day or so the visitor realizes that real people do not live there and that there is an interpretive discontinuity between the past and the present. The real people are congregating outside the old city walls. As visitation increases these two worlds need to come together."

"Large numbers of noisy, youthful visitors can degrade the experience of middle and older age visitors interested in the numerous historic sites and streetscapes in the medieval center. Youthful partying and nightclub activities do not always blend well with heritage enthusiasts."

"Local tourist establishments overcharge visitors for the apparent privilege of eating/staying with them. Historical information about the district is easily obtained, but tourists are not given any reason to feel invested in its future."

"Tourism development appeared to be appropriate to the character of the city, information was generally good, and infrastructure in terms of trams/underground and walking mapswasvery good—the city was extremely easy to access from the airport."
