/ Czechia
The city of a hundred spires, jewel of Central Europe
Prague looks straight out of a fairy tale: medieval bridges, Gothic castles and the oldest working astronomical clock. Czechia offers an affordable Central Europe where beer costs less than water. The Schengen visa stays demanding for a Cameroonian passport, but once granted it opens the whole European area.
