Prague is a stunningly beautiful city, rich in history and offering a wide range of culinary and cultural attraction there’s something for everyone!

Blog Highlights:

• Cleanliness and Walkability: One of the first things you'll notice about Prague is how clean the city is. It's a joy to walk through the streets, with charming architecture and picturesque views around every corner.

• Power Adapters: If you only need to charge a phone or shaver (with a two-pin plug), you won’t need an adapter. However, if you have a device with a plug that requires grounding, such as a computer charger, you will need an adapter to fit the Czech sockets.

• Transport:

  • Airport Transfer: Getting from the airport to your hotel is simple and cost-effective via a Booking taxi. A driver with a sign will be waiting for you, offering a smooth and efficient ride.
  • Walking: Most of Prague’s main attractions are within walking distance from each other. As a tip, trust Line 11—your own two feet! Just be sure to wear comfortable shoes (ladies, leave the heels at home), as the sidewalks are lined with prominent interlocking stones.
  • Metro: The metro is very useful for getting around the city. You can purchase tickets for various time durations—half an hour, 90 minutes, a full day, or even three days. Just remember to stamp your ticket when you first board the train to avoid any fines.

In 2021, the city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, further solidifying its historical and cultural significance. During our visit, the 55th Film Festival was taking place, drawing many tourists and film enthusiasts from around the world.

One highlight I highly recommend is visiting Diana Tower, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. I’ve attached a video I shot from there, showcasing the stunning scenery.

The wall was originally dedicated to John Lennon, the spirit behind the Beatles, who came to symbolize freedom and democracy for the people of Prague.

One of Prague's most iconic landmarks is the historic Charles Bridge, which spans the Vltava River. The bridge is supported by 16 arches and is adorned with 30 statues, most of which are in the Baroque style. This combination of architectural elegance and artistic detail has earned it a reputation as one of the most beautiful bridges in the Czech Republic and in Europe.

It’s worth noting that the statues on the bridge today are not the original sculptures, but exact replicas. The original statues are preserved in the National Museum to protect them from weathering and damage.

7. Prague Astronomical Clock

A must-see attraction in Prague is the Astronomical Clock, located in the heart of the Old Town. Dating back to 1409, it is the oldest functioning astronomical clock in the world. Every hour, the clock puts on a show as statues move and bells chime.

The spectacle includes symbolic figures such as Death, Greed, and a Turkish heretic, while the windows above reveal puppets of the Twelve Apostles. The show ends with a golden rooster crowing.

Tip: Be cautious of pickpockets during the show, as the crowd's attention is often focused on the clock.
