Your complete travel guide: Spending 36 hours in Prague

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Prague, the Czech capital, is finding a new balance between preserving its past and embracing the future, improving many of its important historic sites while making striking additions to its skyline. A reset on tourism during the pandemic has left the city feeling more focused on local residents, with many new parks, bike trails, pedestrian bridges and other amenities showing up outside the historic center. The best new cafes, bars and restaurants, as well, are often found outside Old Town, in neighborhoods such as Dejvice, Vinohrady, Holesovice, Karlin and New Town.
