Explore Prague's beauty

The historic Charles Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Prague. |
Prague is a city that simply oozes charm and charisma, from its breathtaking architecture to its delicious food and abundance of cultural and historical landmarks.
It's no wonder that the city is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe.
When you first set foot in Prague, you'll be struck by the beauty of its architecture. The city is home to some of the most incredible buildings in the world, including the famous Charles Bridge and the St. Vitus Cathedral. The city's Old Town is also a must-see, with its winding streets, colorful buildings, and charming squares that will leave you feeling like you've stepped back in time.
But Prague isn't just a feast for the eyes, it's also a city rich in cultural heritage. Prague is home to countless museums and art galleries, including the National Museum and the Mucha Museum. The city is also known for its theatre and music scene, with many world-class performances taking place throughout the year.
The city is also home to a number of Jewish heritage sites, including the Old Jewish Cemetery, which is the oldest of its kind in Europe, and the Jewish Museum in Prague, which tells the story of the city's Jewish community over the centuries.

You can't visit Prague without trying a trdelnik. |
For foodies, Prague is a culinary paradise. Visitors can indulge in traditional Czech dishes such as goulash and dumplings, or sample some of the city's many international restaurants. Make sure to try a trdelnik, a delicious rolled dough that is wrapped around a stick, then grilled and topped with a sugar and walnut mix. The city also has a thriving craft beer scene, with many local breweries and pubs to explore.
Beyond all of these cultural and historical highlights, Prague is also a city that is easy to navigate and offers a great quality of life. The city is extremely bike-friendly and its public transportation system, including buses, trams, and metro trains, is an excellent way to get around. A multi-day pass, available at metro stations, vending machines or the Prague City Transport (DPP) app, allows for unlimited travel. In my opinion walking could be the best option, especially in the very walkable city centre.
Prague left a lasting impression on me and I can't recommend it highly enough. I think you'll feel the same way after visiting.
