Prague, Czechia
Baroque architecture and good safety from embassy presence. Trade-offs are steep hills and high prices. Quieter than Old Town while staying central.
West bank of the Vltava below Prague Castle. Baroque palaces, embassies, narrow cobblestone streets climbing up from Charles Bridge. Quieter than Old Town even in peak season - mostly residential with government buildings. Embassy security and good lighting keep it safe day and night, though steeper streets can be empty after dark. High restaurant prices for the location and centuries-old buildings. English widely spoken since staff deal with diplomats and tourists. The climb to Prague Castle is steep - cobblestones are tiring in heels or with luggage. Upscale restaurants handle solo diners professionally. Area empties earlier than Old Town, mostly locals by 10pm.

Modern business district with good restaurants and craft beer. Safe, normal prices, local crowd. Lacks historic architecture.
Residential neighborhood with good cafes and restaurants, feels safe to walk around. Pricier than other areas but has local atmosphere and easy access to tourist sites.
