Charmed by Prague

Prague is indeed a city with a unique charm of it’s own. You’ll find yourself wanting to compare it to places like Budapest or Vienna but you can’t quite as there’s just something about Prague.

I’ve visited Prague twice now, with it just being a 4 hour train ride from Berlin but haven’t gotten around to writing about it. Hence, finally this blog post after many requests for recommendations in Prague.

To be frank, I spent both trips wandering around Prague without an itinerary. Prague is just one of those cities where you can walk around and still see enough of the city. 

Thus, my only recommendation would be to do a walking tour as soon as you can. A lot of these tours are “free” (donation-based) and can be prebooked on the day itself. You get a wonderful guide who will often give you their personal recommendations of what to do in Prague and then you can craft your own itinerary.

I was fortunate enough to visit Prague at the end of Winter and mid-Autumn, both which are not peak tourist seasons but still pretty packed. Summer is the worst time to come as Charles’ Bridge will be swarming with tourists. 

Public transport is cheap, efficient and runs 24/7. Prague is a very walkable city but most paths are cobblestone so wear comfortable shoes.
