"Prague, small and beautiful, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe"

Praga

"The city is small and bautiful - in my opinion, one of the most beautiful in Europe", says Loli, has been a Customer Service Supervisor at Madrid Airport since 2014. 

 

 

 

 

A walk: The Old City -in the city centre- to enjoy the street musicians and watch the show of its famous astronomical clock (it happens every hour), and the Charles Bridge with the castle in the background. 

Delicatessen: Besides Goulash, stuffed potato dumplings, pig knuckle and beer, trdelnik (a traditional sweet) can be found in streets stands.

Shopping: Golden Lane, a narrow street inside Prague Castle, where 16  colourful houses offer all kinds of souvenirs - puppets. Bohemian crystal, armour and Golems (character from Jewish folklore). The curative Becherovka herbal bitters are also traditional. 

Museum: The weird and wonderful Franz Kafka Museum. The picturesque environment at Kafka's house - number 22- is contrasted by a curious fountain with a green sculpture of two men in the entrance. 

The best views: The clock tower and town hall, in the Old Town Square, and Prague Castle if you want to see the city.

If you're with family: The Karovy Vary  spa has 80 medicinal springs. You can go by bus. You should also see the changing of the guard at Prague Castle - at midday- and attend a Black Theatre performance. 

Don't miss: The Jewish district's cemetery, and then view the city from the river Vitava on an affordable one-hour boat trip.
