Top 6 things to do in Prague, Czech Republic
04:55
Prague was the first European city I visited outside of Poland, where I went on exchange and to this day, this place has a special place in my heart (omg corny LOL). Really though, imagine the typical idea of Europe and Prague is all that. Pebble roads, limited cars and consistent olden style European apartments. See below some of the top places to explore while you're here!
1. Prague Castle
If you are pretty fit, I would recommend you to walk between the major landmarks in Prague. Everything is pretty much walking distance and really is a great way to take in the beautiful city. Prague castle is a complex of different historical buildings dating back to the 9th century. If you are into beautiful architecture for cathedrals and halls, this is a must go even if you are even here for a day.
1. Astronomical Clock Tower
This place is located in the Old Town Square. It was pretty cheap to go up and really a great way to see the landscape of the beautiful city as the lights glitter below. The climb took about 15 minutes depending on your fitness level and it is fairly narrow once you get up there as you are sharing the space with so many others.
3. Christmas Markets
Without question, if you are here during the Christmas period, the Christmas markets are a must go! There are a variety of local souvenirs and must try foods here. Europe takes their Christmas seriously and you will truly be captivated simply by the ambience around you.
4. This is my favorite spot in Prague!
I am not sure how I even managed to stumble upon this place. If anyone can tell me where it is, you are much deserving of a virtual hug <3
5. Petrin Hill
I came here with my exchange friends by taking an upwards railway from Ujezd Street. The view is simply stunning from up here!
6. The Slav Epic by Alphponse Mucha
This place is not for everyone, but for me, it was really a breathtaking view of floor to ceiling paintings of the Slav people on their journey and experience that was endured of the 1000 years. Viewing of the gallery was for minimal cost ($5)
You can find more about it on trip advisor : The Slav Epic
Transport
Prague was one of the easiest places to get around despite knowing nothing but hello (which I found out was really similar to Polish which I am a bit better at haha ). If you simply use google maps in transport mode, you pretty much become a pro. If you don't have internet access, just use the wifi at the place you are staying at and take a screenshot of the schedule.
Accomodation
My favourite and cheapest places I stayed at while I was here. Comes with free breakfast too!
