Prague, Czechia

🌟 FREE Prague like a local (insiders’ guide) 

Prague is definitely worth visiting. It is a beautiful city with rich history, stunning architecture, and cultural diversity. The city offers a range of activities, including sightseeing, exploring museums and galleries, enjoying the nightlife, and sampling delicious Czech cuisine. Additionally, Prague is a relatively affordable city, making it an attractive travel destination for budget-conscious travelers.

Souvenirs you can bring home:
Bohemian Glass (near Prague, there are five Czech glass and crystal factories that can be visited), Prague Garnet (this precious gemstone is a symbol of the city’s rich cultural heritage), Mucha Posters by Alfons Mucha, Beer Cosmetics, Wooden Toys, Marionette Puppets, Karlovy Vary Spa Wafers, Kafka Museum Souvenirs, Special Reading Material from Palac Knih Luxor, Czech porcelain, the Prague golem, something with Krtek - the little mole (a famous cartoon character).

When it comes to food, be sure to check:
- Kolachkes (Traditional Czech Cookies) are small, sweet, and perfect for snacking on while exploring the city; made from a rich, buttery dough that is rolled into small balls and then filled with a variety of sweet fillings such as fruit preserves, nutella or poppy seeds (and are often sprinkled with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness)
- Trdelník, made from a dough composed of yeast, flour, sugar, and eggs, the seemingly gourmet treat is wrapped around a spit and grilled until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Traditionally coated in sugar and cinnamon for a sweet and aromatic flavor.
Beverages? Beer, Becherovka (Herbal Liquor), Absinthe. 

Highlights:
🍺 Beer - The Czechs will tell you that their beer is the best in the world, and they ought to know. Per capita, the Czech Republic consumes more beer than any other country. Pilsner Urquell, the worldʼs first pilsner beer, is top of the line; Gambrinus, made at the same brewery, is also good. The dark Krušovice has a surprisingly light quality; Budvar is the original Budweiser; and Staropramen is the Czech Republicʼs proud working-class brew. Small brewery labels, like Bernard and Lobkowicz, are also worth trying. Czech beer is rated by degrees – 10 degree, 11 degree, 12 degree – with the alcohol content increasing as the numbers rise. 
🗿The Golem -  Prague golem is a legendary figure in the city’s history and has become a popular souvenir for visitors. The Golem is said to have been created in the early 19th century by a rabbi named Judah Loew, who used the creature to protect the Jewish people from persecution. According to legend, the golem was made of clay and was brought to life through a magical ritual; it quickly became known for its immense strength and loyalty to its creator, but its power was also feared. Eventually, the rabbi realized he needed to destroy the creature before it caused any harm.
Today, the golem is a symbol of Jewish heritage and the power of folklore.

Vyšehrad

This one is slightly further out but gives incredible views of the city.

Vyšehrad is a historic fort in Prague, Czech Republic, just over 3 km southeast of Prague Castle, on the east bank of the Vltava River. It was built in the 10th century.

It is perched atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the Vltava River, the Vysehrad Castle is a testament to centuries of Czech history, culture, and architectural prowess. 

This castle served as a seat of power for Czech rulers and witnessed the rise and fall of several dynasties. 

If visiting the Vysehrad Castle, look out for the grand Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul for its neo-Gothic facade and ornate interiors. The ancient Rotunda of St. Martin is known for its Romanesque build and tells stories of the castle’s glorious past.

This castle is often called the 2nd castle of Prague but is not to be forgotten. 

Many tourists visiting Prague for a few days do not have the time to visit both, but Visehrad deserves to be  known as well.

You will find yourself in a calm park overlooking the river and the whole city, with a beautiful citadel and one of the two oldest churches in Prague. 
It gives you a completely different view of Prague while being in a more quiet and peaceful environment. 

It is one of my favorite view points in Prague and every time I had friends of family visiting, I would always take them there.  

You have two ways to access it: 
1. climbing a few dozens of stairs from the river side, or
2. stopping at metro stop "Vysehrad" (red line) and walking through the park 

Vyšehrad is the Prague Castle everyone misses! Although only the basilica remains, the fortress looms over the Vltava River and offers vineyards and splendid views of that other Prague castle. ;)

Pick up a bottle of wine and some charcuterie and have a picnic on the lush green, well-kept grounds. 

😎 VIBE:
Picnic, epic views, historical, romantic

👀 MUST-SEE
+ Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul
+ Vyšehrad cemetery, where over 600 of the most famous Czechs have been laid to rest. 

Vyšehrad, translating to "upper castle" in Czech, is a historic fortress nestled just over 3 km southeast of Prague Castle, gracing the east bank of the Vltava River. With roots likely tracing back to the 10th century, Vyšehrad holds within its walls the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, the Vyšehrad Cemetery and the ancient Rotunda of St. Martin, which dates back to the 11th century. 

Take a walk to this historical fort and enjoy another beautiful view of Prague!

This place plays an important role in many Czech legends as it was the seat of the first Czech king. It truly has a magical atmosphere. :)

Medieval fortress that also holds the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul, though simpler in design compared to St. Vitus Cathedral, exudes its own beauty.

Stop here for incredible Panoramic views of the city!
