Discover the magic of Prague
Explore the medieval city of Prague. I visited for the Christmas markets where the main square was bustling with people tasting the food markets. There was 6 markets altogether I preferred the little markets as it was full of local people selling homemade items. These markets only take cash so remember to bring some if you do visit the Christmas markets.
Unmissable sights in Prague
Prague offers a breathtaking array of historical and architectural wonders. Do not miss the majestic Prague Castle. It sits high in the Prague skyline with steps going up to it. It has an amazing view of the city beneath it. But be prepared that there is a lot of steps.
Explore the grandeur of St. Vitus Cathedral, a stunning example of Gothic architecture located within the castle grounds.
Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square, a masterpiece of medieval engineering that puts on a fascinating show every hour.
Walk along Charles bridge- The bridge has 30 statues along it which connects the old town to lesser town. (November to December there is a lamplighter which lights all the lamps at 4pm on the bridge.
Other Quirky things to see
Prague is walkable to see everything but also offers trams and buses to get out of the city.
where the astronomical clock is, there is an opportunity to walk up the tower. There is a lift provided if needed for an extra cost but there are a lot of steps but the view of the main square is amazing.
The dancing house is a little different type of architecture it was constructed in 1996. There is a bar at the top of the building which again gives you a decent surrounding view of the river.
Franz Kafka(spinning head)- if you are into art sculptures then this is for you. It is a 42 layer sculpture depicting Czech-german language writer Franz Kafka which rotates every hour.
