Prague, Czech Republic


Other cities have castles and cathedrals (atop the hill), but only Prague has the Charles Bridge. Here’s the recipe for city success: Find a river that divides, build one bridge only, make traders use it, defend it from the heights, and put it all in a basin with good land for farming and lots of minerals (like silver) in the surrounding hills. Medieval magnificence!
