Prague was ranked third among the European capitals that are the best to visit this year. This is according to Visa Guide World data. At the same time, Metropole succeeded in a ranking focusing on the stress level of drivers in cities.

VisaGuide.World compiled a list of the ten best European capitals for tourists this year, and Prague was ranked third after Lisbon and Amsterdam.

Last year, Prague ranked seventh on the same list. According to the list, she gained this year’s promotion to higher positions mainly thanks to three main points.

Another category in which the Czech metropolis has succeeded is tourist activity. The ranking boasts a high score in this area mainly due to its rich history, architecture and vibrant culture. The third segment examined was knowledge of English. Prague was ranked among the first six cities in terms of knowledge and use of English and thereby gained the necessary points.

However, the research draws attention to, compared to the other compared countries, for example the friendliness of local residents, which is at the lowest level in Prague compared to the top 10 metropolises.
