+==== 2-Day Prague Itinerary ====
+<code>
+Prague is compact and very walkable. This plan covers the main highlights without feeling rushed.
+Day 1: Old Town, Jewish Quarter & Charles Bridge
+Morning
+    Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí) – Start early to enjoy it with fewer crowds.
+    Watch the Astronomical Clock (Orloj) strike the hour.
+    Climb the Old Town Hall Tower for excellent views (optional).
+    Explore the surrounding streets and Church of Our Lady before Týn.
+Late Morning
+    Jewish Quarter (Josefov) – Visit the Old Jewish Cemetery, Spanish Synagogue,
+    and other historic synagogues (combined ticket recommended).
+Afternoon
+    Walk to Charles Bridge (Karlův most). Cross it slowly, enjoying the statues
+    and views of the river and Prague Castle.
+    Continue into Malá Strana (Lesser Town) – Wander the charming streets, see
+    the John Lennon Wall, and stroll around Kampa Island.
+Evening
+    Dinner in Malá Strana or Old Town (try traditional Czech food: goulash,
+    svíčková, or roast pork with dumplings).
+    Optional: Evening stroll back across Charles Bridge when it’s illuminated.
+Day 2: Prague Castle & Views
+Morning
+    Head to Prague Castle (Pražský hrad) early. Take tram 22 to the top (Pohořelec stop)
+    so you can walk downhill through the complex.
+    Must-sees: St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, and Golden Lane.
+    Enjoy the panoramic viewpoints over the city.
+Afternoon
+    Descend through Malá Strana via Nerudova Street.
+    Optional: Visit Petřín Hill (take the funicular or walk) for the mini-Eiffel
+    Tower and gardens, or explore more of the quieter streets and gardens in Lesser Town.
+Evening
+    Relax with a beer (Czech beer is excellent) or dinner with a view.
+    Optional short river cruise on the Vltava if time and energy allow.
+Practical Tips
+    Getting around: Prague is very walkable. Use trams for the Castle hill
+    (tram 22 is useful). A 24- or 72-hour public transport pass is convenient.
+    Tickets: Book Prague Castle Circuit tickets and Jewish Quarter tickets online
+    in advance, especially in high season.
+    Crowds: Visit Charles Bridge and Old Town Square early in the morning or
+    later in the evening.
+    Food: Try local beer halls and traditional Czech restaurants. Avoid the
+    most touristy spots right on Old Town Square for better value.
+Would you like a version focused more on history, food & beer, or with less walking?
