But here are four cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination: Prague, Czech Republic With its snow-capped spires and winding streets, Prague is a fairytale city that remains relatively tourist-free in winter. The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town, with its Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center, adding a romantic color to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold. Salzburg, Austria With its Christmas songs and traditional markets, this is a perfect city for a winter break. “Silent Night” was performed for the first time in the church of Oberndorf on the border of Salzburg on Christmas Eve in 1818. The city's main market is held in the shadow of Salzburg's Hohensalzburg Castle, but the one held in Mirabell Square is especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as halusky—pieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon. Tromso, Norway Tromso is widely regarded as Norway's most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights. There are several attractive museums, including the Polar Museum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and the Tromso Museum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions. Amsterdam, Netherlands In winter, Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House. Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carre Theater is more than 130 years old. Children will love the spectacular performances. 1. What can you do in Prague? A.

Pasco County is located in the state's west central coast north of Tampa. After the eagle was examined, it was placed in a container and taken to the sanctuary for treatment where Kris Potter, the sanctuary's director, successfully removed the hook. The sanctuary posted on its Facebook page that the eagle is making up for lost time when it comes to food. "He's eating all his meals with great enthusiasm and doesn't leave a crumb （碎屑） behind,“ the post said.
