With a city center largely untouched by WW2 bombings that crushed other national capitals, Prague is the best preserved large medieval city in Europe. As we approach Old Town it looks like we are coming up on a giant fairy tale city until we realize it is actually the oldest and most significant square in the historical centre🏛🏰 of Prague with its famous monuments presents itself from a different perspective and unusual angles. We are start off with the city’s biggest attraction in the districts of Hradcany, Mala Strana and Stare Mesto with rich architecture, thriving culture, we stroll down cobblestone streets is surrounded with exquisite historical buildings, alluring architecture, the elaborate city gates , and narrow passageways.
The Quaint Old Town of Prague seems frozen in time, Medieval times that is. The unique architecture of Prague really stands out with the Art🖼🗿 and Architecture of Medieval buildings encompasses many movements, or eras, in art history. Although the Medieval period is complex but through the fabric of the building, we can look at a field for a range of subjects, from complex theological ideas to biblical tales, from whimsical creatures to purely decorative foliate forms. Stroll on Old Town view of the most impressive and eye-catching buildings that can be seen from all over Prague – The Church of Our Lady Before Týn. It is a dominant feature of the Old Town and existed for over a thousand years, building construction was exploited the peculiar shapes of structural elements to create highly expressive forms which feature almost stone structures that classical antiquity of ornamentation coupled with delicate structural forms.

We want to see the contemporary atmosphere on the Vltava and take a stroll along the river, the longest river in the Czech Republic which flows through the centre of Prague and the river played a fundamental role in the foundation of the city. The waters are used to drink and used to irrigate the steppe regions. Because of its importance in the country, the Vltava has mythological status, the panoramic views over the river and of the historic buildings🏛🛕 beside along its banks are unrivalled. At is a retro atmosphere around this place, walk through Street to the cosy promenade offering a fantastic view of this main symbol of Prague🏙🏙🏙. Seeing it from the Vltava perspective, Vltava beauty is everywhere you look, on one side of the river banks found the fascinating folklore in Vyšehrad, the Old Town and New Town which line the river’s route, on other side is spellbinding scenery steeped in majestic Prague Castle🏰🏰🏰, Hradčany and Petřín Tower. View of the meandering Vltava River that reflects the city’s golden spires and castle that dominates the skyline. The bridge🌉🌉🌉 was built on the remains of a river crossing and on the wall is a relief sculpture that marks the medieval water level. The narrow streets and little taverns and restaurants of the older quarters contrast with the broad sweep, Gothic grace and Renaissance architecture.

Walk into the soul of the Prague, Old Town Square – the heart of its historic core, we make sure what we was seeing is in fact real because all of it compositions are similar same as scene in the fairy tale world🏰🏰🏰– cobblestone streets, alluring architecture, enchanting spires, and monumental castle. Yes, it’s truth Old Town Square is a compact medieval city center crisscrossed by winding cobblestone alleys, colorful baroque buildings, Gothic architecture and monuments, a symbol of the Crezh Republic grace and sophistication. The centuries-old buildings are rebuilt and many of which remain in use today. Some of the other Medieval towns in Europe may be more compact or have their city walls preserved, but Prague has an unmatched vibe that helps bring you back to the past. This medieval-flavored area dominated by a delightful cluster of towers, Gothic spires, beautiful shops🏪🏬🏨 and markets, brightly colored houses, churches, museums and cosy cafés. Old Town Square also filled with legends, it emerge this historic atmosphere is combined with a certain quirkiness that embraces the entire city👻👻👻.

Stroll on the Old Town Square, we walk to the famous of the oldest working Astronomical Clock in the world was built in the 15th century. The clock contains dials which track the motion of the sun🌞🌞🌞 and moon🌛🌛🌜 through the year in both Central European Time and Old Czech Time. It also contains elaborate moving sculptures of various allegorical figures and the Twelve Apostles. A window above the clock opens and the mechanical Walk of the Apostles begins. As a nice touch, after the clock’s performance, a trumpet🎺🎺🎺 player heralds in the beginning of the next hour. If possible you can spend some time for view night of the Old Town🌃🌃🌃. The old town at night – absolutely spectacular! All the lights are on, the view of the old town with its colorful buildings and the city’s monuments get beautifully illuminated.

Prague is the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic is a landlocked country, right in the middle of Europe and is of great significance from a historical, political, and cultural point of view, among others. Nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires,” the city has a rich architectural heritage🏛🏛🏛 that reflects both the currents of history in Bohemia and an urban life extending back more than 1,000 years. This historic atmosphere with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock, and narrow, winding streets are testament to its centuries-old role as capital of the historic region. Its capital, Prague, is located in the north-west of the country, on the Vltava River, a stream of shimmering sunlight hits the Vltava River running through the center of Prague. Reflections of medieval buildings shimmer along the riverbank on the new town side of the city. The winding course of the Vltava, with its succession of bridges🌉🌉🌉 and changing vistas, reflections of medieval buildings shimmer along the riverbank, contrasts with the ever-present backdrop of the great castle of Hradčany (Prague Castle). However almost all of the streets are cobbled and by the Vltava River with its Gothic grace and Renaissance architecture, museums and baroque style churches and bridges.

We are huge fan of Airbnb when travelling across Europe. They have a fantastic range of places to stay and always offer great value. Airbnb can be found in the major cities and towns, though the vast majority of properties are located in Prague. Price of accommodation in Prague as higher, we are looking for budget double private room🛏🛏🛏 stay but must have a kitchen🍽🍴🥄 for us to cook our own food. Search for Airbnb, we choose a place that have a little distance to the town, and we stay for 6 day in Prague, Czech Republic. Although the room located outland of city, but don’t know why very raise clamour. While the arrange of the room is similarly as the picture in Airbnb , it’s has facilities of double bed, simple kitchen and modern bathroom🚿🚽🧻 but they totally haven’t prepared sundries such as shampoo, body wash and cooking ingredients which the host promise us. Most important the room only prepared only one of the small rubbish bag😲😲😲 plus don’t have any dustbin. Normally for guests whose stay a few day the host would prepared extra rubbish bag, a piece of small rubbish bag must not enough especially like us who would cooking by ourselves. Ask host provide a few of rubbish bag for next day, the host give us a lot excuse but finally don’t have any prepared🙄🙄🙄. Compare to other during our Europe journey trip, the accommodation in Prague is very terrible.

One of the biggest expenses when traveling goes to food🥩🥗🍞, so in order to save, the best thing we are do are to buy fresh or instant food from the groceries and cook by ourselves. During our Europe travel trip, we often cook meals per day in our accommodation so during Prague Journey trip also no exception. Simultaneously, as the food lover, we still make sure to discovery and taste some street food or local and other cuisine. Our habit are go to grocery shopping🛒🛒🛒 in first day, head to the nearest supermarket with name as Penny, a German discount😍😍😍 supermarket chain. Overall, Prague grocery can be the pricey compare to other during our Europe trip so planning what we want to eat is important .Here got some tips: Choose and learn some what are the locals are buying with some local instant food with get the best deals in the discount grocery store. We spend 350CZK (13.57€) on groceries and the goods that we buy are some local ingredient for cooking, the grocery and fresh goods that can be seen on photo.

We like exploring a foreign city on foot🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️, it always have more learn to soak in the details of the different environment around you. During Prague, our travel journey only around the city so we haven’t taken any public transport but we are simple write out the public transport of the Prague. Many European cities set their sights on promoting walking, cycling🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️, and public transportation, though if you do need to pay for travel on transport, common sense take public transport is always cheaper than a taxi. The public transport of Prague are metro🚈🚈🚈, trams🚎🚎🚎 and buses🚐🚐🚐 which cover the majority of the city and outskirts while you can save money and time for use different type transport pass. A short- term tickets🎫🎫🎫 available either a 30-minute ticket or 90-minute ticket, that can let unlimited transfers between any mode of public transport. In addition to short-term tickets, 24 and 72-hour passes are available from the time of validation and are accepted on all city trams, buses and the metro. If you want a comfortable and easy transport travel you can ride taxi🚖🚖🚖 or go online for book Uber (can direct pay by cash or using bank card). When we carriage up big sizes of luggage from railway station to the accommodation, we always ride the Uber because through the app📱📱📱 we can be aware of the transport fees for the destination.
