I briefly lived in Prague, and coming from the US, the difference was incredible. Almost anywhere I wanted to go was either within walking distance of my flat, or within walking distance of a metro stop. You could go anywhere in the city on a one or two dollar ticket. Absolutely beautiful. The best part was the corner grocery on every block. You could just stop in on your way home because the grocery was in the same physical building as your flat.
