Climb the Powder Tower (Prašná brána) for a 360 view of Prague. There were only four people up there for the 20-30 minutes we were there.

This was probably the most packed out of all the Disney Parks. But it makes sense - what little girl doesn’t dream of being made up as a princess and visiting Cinderella’s Castle?
