Sigh, Prague. If I’m being honest I didn’t know much about Prague a couple of years ago. It wasn’t even on my "top 50 places to see bucket list". Ok, I don’t really have a top 50, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have been. Ignorance on my end. I had no idea what a gem I was missing. And I definitely had know idea I would fall in love with Prague and dream about going back! It won me over from the very moment we arrived. The people – so kind and so genuine. And because Czech is such a difficult language to learn – most people spoke English. That is a win for those who are terrified of not being able to communicate. Prague has been declared “One of the safest big cities in the world” and we truly felt that vibe. It felt completely secure wherever we were, and as we talked to the locals they confirmed that to be accurate. The streets are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. While they may not be friendly to stilettos, they are a work of art.
On our first evening we enjoyed a Czech folklore dinner show. While it may be touristy, we found ourselves laughing, singing, and dancing. I wouldn’t go for the food, but the live music and drinks made up for a mediocre meal. This is a great site if you want to learn more about where to eat in Prague. Or to read up on top things to do. You can also schedule a food tour with them which is definitely a future goal for me! A few places that we enjoyed are Lokal, Nase Maso, Pizza Nuova & Roesel.
The rest of our days in Prague were spent doing a walking tour with Sandemans, enjoying the markets, visiting the old Jewish cemetery, people watching on the Charles Bridge, taking in all the churches and castles, attending an opera, going on beer tours and perusing Parizska – one of Prague’s most luxurious streets. The buildings are Art Nouveau and the shopping is top of the line. It’s a great place to grab a coffee and stroll (even if you can’t afford to shop!) Of course, you can’t miss the astronomical clock or grabbing a glass of wine on the rooftop of The Dancing House. Whatever you do, grab a glass of coffee or mulled wine and get beyond the city square. The streets of Prague are just waiting to be explored!
We also took a FABULOUS day trip to Bohemian Saxon National Park. You can read more about that adventure here. And you can see the cost breakdown of what this trip cost us.
