The enchanting Old Town Square

An obvious option, yes, but believe us, if you haven’t visit been to the Old Town Square, you haven’t visited Prague at all. This historic center of Prague looks makes you feel as though you’ve travelled 600 years back in time. With its charming buildings and extraordinary churches it is one of the most beautiful sights in Europe. You’ll find the Old Town Hall, the Astronomical clock (Prague’s pride and joy) and the famous Tyn church, all worth a visit. There are endless nice food stalls surrounding the square sellings famous Prague pork, as well as street performers and a great choice of restaurants and bars.

You really need to stroll across one of the most recognizable old bridges of Europe. If you walk across this iconic landmark, check out the beautiful Baroque statues and gothic gates, musicians and streets performers as well as cute vendor’s stalls. Don’t forget to truly appreciate the lovely view across the River Vltava as well.

Visit the Prague Castle

Prague Castle is probably one of the city’s most visited tourist attractions so be careful that you won’t get totally squashed in the crowd. Prague Castle was originally built as a walled wooden fortress and has changed drastically over the years. It now consists of a royal palace, a cathedral, three churches, royal stable, some defensive towers, beautiful gardens and more. Not a bad place to live hang out, right?

Watch people at Wenceslas Square
A true gem in Prague’s New Town (Nové Město). In the 14th century it was merely a horse market but now it’s one of Prague’s highlights. The National Museum and other architectural buildings are located in this square, alongside a multitude of fine restaurants where you can enjoy a delicious meal while people watching.

See the Astronomical clock strike an hour

We already briefly mentioned the clock, but it is so awesome that we think it deserves more. When this ancient “orloj” strikes the hour, the bells ring and you will see the 12 Apostles and other Gothic figures passing by the window above the astronomical dial.

Be bedazzled by The Dancing House “Ginger & Fred”

This famous and artsy house has a very unusual shape. This shape reflects a woman: Ginger Rogers and a man: Fred Astair dancing together. All 99 of the concrete panels have a different shape and dimension making this building a unique piece of art among the city centre’s historic buildings. You can not really dance in there, but there is a great restaurant with a fantastic view.

Feel the love at The Lennon wall
If you are a Beatles fan, this wall is a must-see. It is covered in Beatles and Lennon graffiti, full of lyrics and drawings made by dedicated fans. Although John Lennon never visited Prague, this wall is a great memorial for those who saw him as a hero and want to honor him and his work.

Drink wine at Havlíčkovy Sady.
Although the name of this park is very difficult for us to pronounce, it is definitely worth the visit. The local name, Grebovka (much easier to pronounce) is located in the city center and offers long walks, picnic spots and a vineyard where you can glug wine. Ideal for a lazy sunday afternoon if you want to enjoy an amazing view while sipping wine.

Náplavka Riverbank - a Czech beachy atmosphere.

This renovated riverbank is loved by the locals because of its elegant and beachy atmosphere. Many people come here to cycle, walk or rollerskate along the river. This part of the riverbank, under the Jiráskův bridge has its charms because of its many unique restaurants and bars with cheap Czech beer. Open air (dance) parties and concerts are often take place at on this perfect sublime spot.

Experience the Cold war at a Nuclear Bunker
Experience the sense of communism and go back in time to the Cold war while visiting the Nuclear Bunker in Prague. This bunker was made during the cold war, consisting of 5 stories under ground.
