I’ve heard it
called one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and in my humble opinion it
possibly could be. To be fair though, I haven’t
seen all the European cities, so maybe I should do that first before making such
a big call. Prague is a bustling city full of tourists and beautiful buildings.
The city centre is situated around Wenceslas Square, which is a great place to
stay if you want to be as central as possible. The city itself is absolutely
enchanting – the architecture alone will make you gasp. Elegant, colourful European
facades are everywhere. The famous clock is in the city centre, and is
incredibly underwhelming – hundreds of visitors gather to watch it strike, and
it is very unexciting.
Prague Castle
is beautiful, large and looms over the surrounding area in such a way you can
imagine peasant life looking up at the monarchy. The river runs through the
city and on either side there are lots of buzzing cafes and restaurants which
are perfect for a bite to eat or a beer in the sunshine. In the evening on warm
days there are pop up bars, and you can find what seems like the entire youth population
of the city by the riverside. If you like bridges, Prague is your dream
destination – Charles Bridge is famously ancient and a real architectural
treat, and there are many other bridges spanning the length of the river.
The gardens surrounding the Hunger Wall are worth a wander – they’re beautiful and you almost feel like you’ve left the big city. There are wonderful views from the top overlooking Prague. Czech food is typically European – dumplings, goulash and their friends are all here. A real Czech delight is the trdlnik – funnel shaped donut cakes, coated in cinnamon sugar and with the option of nutella slathered on the inside.
Maybe
it is possible to take more photos of buildings than I did - but I seem to have
a camera filled with pretty houses.
Thank
you for reading,
Love,
Olivia
