Prague is a beautiful city that is packed full of people and interesting things to see and do. If you love to walk around looking at incredible architecture, visiting countless art museums and learning more about history and past communist politics, then Prague really is your dream destination right in the heart of Europe. Honestly, you could spend a whole week
just going to art exhibitions and you'd still struggle to see everything! I really wish I could have stayed an extra week to explore every nook and cranny that this amazing city has to offer. I strongly suggest coming up with a detailed itinerary if you fancy going, you'll most certainly need one!

Prague looks like such a wonderful city, definitely adding it to my list of places to go x
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, so much to see :) x
DeleteI love Prague. We went there about 5 or 6 years ago. I loved there dark beer, which worked out about 50p a pint, cheaper than drinking water. Although I bet it's more expensive there now.
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated by the Astronomical clock too. Looking at these pics has brought back so many happy memories so thanks for sharing.
Ps Tim is lovely, Hi Tim haha :)
Yeah the beer is still cheap! The local Pilsner beer was about 70p a pint. The Astronomical Clock was really amazing to look out, I don't think we have anything like that over here!
DeleteHehe Tim was a great guide :D
Oh beautiful photographs! All throughout my time in Europe I kept planning trips but never made it (quite sour about it haha!)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've wanted to go for years so I'm really happy I've finally been able to go. Definitely go and see it the next time you're in Europe :)
DeleteBeautiful photos :) Looks like you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to Prague, it looks like such a stunning city :) definitely firmly staying on my to go list! xx
It is stunning, especially the Old Town, so many amazing cathedrals and churches :) xx
DeleteBeautiful pictures! I've been to Prague about 15 years ago in a school trip and loved it... Need to go back!! Glad you had a good time. :) xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place :) xxx
DeleteSomewhere that's still on my "to go" list. Lovely photos x

Thanks! :) xx

ReplyDeletexo
I did! :) x
DeletePrague is on my list of places to visit, all your photos are lovely. Did you find any good vegetarian restaurants/cafes?? :) xx
ReplyDeleteYep! One of my friends who I was travelling with is vegetarian so we scouted out a couple of good places. Bohemia Bagel is good for veggie food (my meal in the photo above was a Spinach and Mushroom pizza bagel and it was delicious!) and there was a specialised Vegetarian and Organic cafe on one of the main side streets in the Old Town which was always busy and had great food. I would say perhaps avoid most of the traditional Czech restaurants because there's meat/meat ingredients in pretty much everything, but if you like Italian food then you could just eat out at all of the very reasonably priced Italian restaurants and be happy! :) xx
DeleteThese photographs are beautiful. Makes me want to take a trip to Prague even more! My friend went and she didnt want to come back. Glad you had a nice time:)
ReplyDeleteI know how your friend felt! It really is a beautiful city, definitely worth a trip! :)
DeleteIm going there in two weeks - your pictures are amazing, cant wait to go now!! x
ReplyDeleteHave a great time, I'm sure you'll love it! x
DeleteI've been planning a gap-year in Prague - teaching English, and it's photos such as these that make me itch in anticipation. I look forward to a year in a bohemian dreamland, and this made me realize just what I have in store.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Hi Luke, I'm sure you'll have an amazing time! Have fun!
DeleteOoooh your pictures are fab! I can't wait for my trip now :) xx
