A tease for a feature story on the Vila Volman, near Prague, for Kinfolk Magazine. The photographer, Marina Denisova, did an incredible job. The whole edition looks good. The magazine will be on newsstands in March or pre-order on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Kinfolk-55/d...

The biggest hotel news in Prague the past year has been the reopening of the Hotel Evropa on Wenceslas Square. The hotel had been closed for years. I loved the old Evropa and was a café regular in the ‘90s. I was dying to see the new place: markbakerprague.com/a-peek-insid... (Live link in bio)

A sneak peek into what will become Prague's second Mucha museum in February. The setting is the restored baroque Savarin Palace. The interiors are beautiful and the collections thoughtfully curated, but the exhibition is relatively small. In 2028, the Slav Epic may find a permanent home here.

The air is so clean and the light so clear tonight. Prague‘s Old Town twinkling in the darkness.

Finally got my hands on this latest edition of Lonely Planet guide to Romania & Bulgaria (they sent the copies to my Ohio address and not to Prague). This was a monster update. If you're planning a trip this year to either RO or BG (both highly recommended), this guide will help to see you through.

Happy National Day to my Romanian friends. I like this map because the regions correspond almost to what we call them in our Lonely Planet guide. 🙂 💙 💛❤️
