Is your next vacation destination on this list?
Visit Prague Castle
Dominating the skyline of the city, Prague Castle is a must-see attraction. Founded in 880AC, this 750,000sqft behemoth has hosted the kings of Bohemia and presidents of Czechia. And did you know that Prague Castle is also right next to the world’s poshest Starbucks?
Stroll Along Charles Bridge
A medieval bridge that crosses the Vltava River, Charles Bridge is one of the best ways to view the red-roofed and pastel-coloured city. If you want to avoid the crowds, it’s worth getting to Charles Bridge in the early morning.
Travel Back to the 70s in the Retro Museum
Prague’s Retro Museum transports you back to everyday life in 1970s and 1980s Czechoslovakia. With elaborately decorated set pieces and designs, you’ll travel back to the days of box-sized TVs and funky wallpaper.
Take a Beer-Tasting Tour
Czechia is the birthplace of Budweiser, Pilsner and many other hearty beers. With such a rich brewing history to explore, Prague is the perfect city to jump on a beer brewery tour or drop by one of its many bars.
Relax in Prague’s Numerous Parks
Prague’s outskirts are dotted with vast and tranquil parks that seem to be world’s away from the city. Letna, Stromovka, Kampa, and Petřín Gardens are just a few of the city’s green gems.
See the Third Oldest Clock in the World
An engineering marvel, Prague’s Astronomical Clock is located in the Old Town square and is synonymous with the European capital. Every time the clock strikes an hour, mechanical figures will come to life and move in intricate motions.
Take a Train to the Fairytale Karlštejn Castle
Arguably as impressive as Prague Castle, Karlštejn Castle looks like it has been taken straight out of a fairy tale with magnificent Gothic architecture and dense woods.
Learn Alchemy at the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians
Quite the oddball experience, the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians is sure to surprise you with its dark world of mystery and magic. Expect dimly lit, cluttered rooms and eerie wax figures.
Hit the Bizarre Underground Cross Club
Sitting under Prague’s sleepy streets is the Cross Club, a cyberpunk-style venue with a labyrinth of dazzling neon lights, machine parts and electronics.
Delve into Czechia’s Communist History
Although Prague is a quaint medieval settlement, the city has come up against a dark communist past. The Museum of Communism in the north of Old Town delves into former Czechoslovakia’s history from ordinary life to art, politics, censorship and the secret police force.
