A subway train is arriving at an underground station. The station has a curved ceiling and walls with a distinctive pattern of square, reflective tiles. There is a yellow and white light fixture running along the ceiling. The station name, partially visible, appears to be "NÁMĚSTÍ REPUBLIKY." The platform is empty, and the train is approaching the platform on the right side of the image.

Yes, “bleisure” is an annoying word. But it just might be a better way to travel. With a couple different trips to Prague recently the team is ready to debate its value.
