With cobbled streets and fantastic historic architecture...we can only be in Prague!
There are 107 beautiful bridges over the Vitava River that winds it way through the middle of Prague. The most famous and beautiful bridge is Charles Bridge. Charles Bridge is decorated with brilliant statues whilst filled with buzzing tourists and market stalls.
Prague is a noisy but vibrant city that grasps the modern lifestyle. You can either explore the city from a Segway or order from a restaurant on an iPad menu - Incredible! Whatever you choose to do, you will be part of the hustle and bustle of mixed everyday life and excited tourists.
The Dancing house is an impressive and modern piece of architecture. You may have seen an image of this building when researching Prague. The very non-traditional design stands out from the other gothic buildings for which Prague is famous for. The building represents a pair of dancers.
Prague Castle is worth a visit just for the incredible views of the city of Prague - I love a good spot to look over the city. As you walk up the steep path towards the Castle, there are many view points for you to capture some amazing photos. This is also a great excuse for a mini break from the many steps!
The Old Royal Palace sits inside the castle walls and is designed with gothic styles. Here you can also find St Vitus Cathedral. With even more gothic designs, some say St Vitus Cathedral is Prague Castle. However Prague Castle houses many impressive buildings, St Vitus is the one that dominates the skyline whenever you are in the city of Prague.
Old town square is where everything is happening in Prague. This square is surrounded by buzzing restaurants. Here you can find most of the tourists snapping away as they pose in front of the many impressive buildings.
I can guarantee you will find hundreds of tourists stood in a huge group taking photos of something on one of the buildings. They always say in life to ‘not follow the crowd‘ but in this instance you really must. Here you will find the famous, and oldest working, Astronomical Clock. And it really is beautiful!
