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. 




Prague - the truthful Bohemian Rhapsody

If you're looking for a city escape to live your European Summer dream, you've come to the right place! This is my 100% honest opinion of my 10 favorite European cities to visit in Summer.

I see lots and lots of guides out there suggesting Paris (hello, has someone heard of the Olympic Games taking place?), Madrid (if you love 45° weather I guess) or Lisbon (great choice if you want to be 1 or 100 000 tourists). While these are all great destinations year-round, I don't think Summer is the right season to visit them. Personally, I'd go there in Spring or Autumn, not during the high season.

Full disclosure, this is a no Greece, no Italy guide. You'll only find cities that I love, and I think are worth going to discover if you're looking for a short city-escape this Summer.

Prague is a beautiful city, full of rich history, beautiful architecture, and some of the best brews around. If you're heading this way around Christmas time, then we have a stocked guide for you! Prague is a very dog-friendly city. In fact it's more rare that our good boy was not allowed inside a pub or restaurant; and they are allowed on most public transit here as well! 

During the Christmas season, things (very predictably) get a bit crowded, so it's always a good idea to make a reservation for the more popular attractions and restaurants. In fact, I would avoid the Christmas Markets altogether on weekends as it's a bit much, especially if you're bringing your dog with you.

Prague Castle

Prague Castle is one of the largest ancient castles in the world, dating back to the 9th century!

It's also the only castle in the world once inhabited by a playwright president, Václav Havel. 

Visiting the Prague Castle is a MUST. 

The complex is home to The Royal Palace, St. Vitus Cathedral (go to the top of the Cathedral for amazing birds-eye view), St. George’s Basilica, and Golden Lane – all of which are worth visiting!

Entry to the main castle area and the main part of St. Vitus Cathedral is free. Paid tickets are required for more access. Tickets start from 450CZK for the main circuit but you can also pay for guides.

The opening times are as follows:
Prague Castle complex
6.00 - 22.00
Historical buildings 
9.00 – 17.00  

The Prague Castle is not a single building but an entire collection of site including a cathedral, basilica, shopping street, and palace. 

The castle grounds are free to visit but if you want to enter the different buildings, you will have to purchase a ticket.  The tickets are sold by circuits with different attractions included in each circuit.

💡Helpful Hints
- You cannot purchase tickets directly from the Prague Castle website.  Therefore, if you want to buy tickets ahead of time, you will need to do so through a third-party seller or a tour curator. 
- In the off season (winter, we visited first weekend in February), we were able to buy tickets directly at the office without any issues and without a long wait.

Prague Castle, known as Pražský hrad, is an expansive complex in Prague, covering around 110 acres. Initially founded in the late 9th century by Bořivoj, it evolved into a seat of power for Bohemian kings and presently serves as the official residence of the Czech Republic's president. 

The castle's rich history includes notable landmarks like St. George’s Basilica, dating back to 920, and St. Vitus Cathedral, with its late Gothic architecture completed in 1929. The Old Royal Palace, expanded over the centuries, witnessed historical events like the Defenestration of Prague in 1618, sparking the Thirty Years’ War. 

Prague Castle was founded in the 9th century and has been the symbol of the Czech state for over a thousand years. It was the residence of the Bohemian rulers and then of the presidents of the Republic. It is one of the largest castles in the world and is the most important monument in the Czech Republic. An unmissable stop for anyone who wants to know the history of Prague.
 
👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Charlie Bridge (1km,15min). Metro stop: Malostranská,Line A.

🎟️Ticket cost:full price 250,00 CZK (€10,15)-reduced price 125,00 CZK (€5,10),free with the Prague Card.



More than just a museum, Prague Castle is a sprawling, magnificent complex that has stood the test of time. As the largest ancient castle in the world, it's a testament to the architectural prowess of the past. The castle buildings represent virtually every architectural style of the last millennium, making it a living, breathing history lesson. From the Gothic grandeur of St. Vitus Cathedral to the Old Royal Palace's Renaissance splendor, Prague Castle is a journey through the ages.

Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world! 

It's also the only castle in the world once inhabited by a playwright president, Václav Havel. 

Prague Castle is a must-visit for any literary traveler. We recommend reading 'To the Castle and Back' by former Czech President Václav Havel.  

Entry to the main castle area and the main part of St. Vitus Cathedral is free. Paid tickets are required for more access. See the link below for info and ticket prices.

Perched majestically atop a hill overlooking the city, Prague Castle invites you to step through centuries of history. Wander through its vast courtyards and intricate architecture, where tales of kings and emperors echo through the stone walls. Explore the lush gardens, awe-inspiring cathedrals, and captivating museums for a truly immersive experience in the heart of Prague.

Prague Castle is made up of a complex of beautiful palaces and buildings connected by small picturesque alleys.

The history of Prague can be said to begin with the construction of the castle, its strategic location soon made it the centre of the territory and it was the residence of the Bohemian kings from the time of its foundation by Prince Borivoj.

Prague Castle is the most important Czech castle standing on a rocky promontory above the Vltava River in the center of Prague. From the 9th century it used to be the seat of Czech princes, later kings, and since 1918 it has been the seat of the president of the republic. Twice in history it became the main residence of the Holy Roman Emperor.

After visiting, I must admit that the Castle/ palace wasn't nearly as impressive as the Cathedral which was unbelievable. One of the most ornate cathedrals I've ever visited. 
Maybe if we had taken a guided tour to hear some of the history and stories it would have been more interesting. 

It is the official office of the President of the Czech Republic. The castle was a seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside it. Tours are available daily!

Embark on a journey through time at Prague Castle, the majestic seat of Czech kings and presidents. With its roots tracing back to the 9th century, this sprawling complex is a living testament to the country's rich history and architectural evolution.

In my opinion, the best part of Prague. The castle complex is stunning, and for such a cheap price as well, it is truly a must-see. A ticket includes entry to multiple buildings in the castle complex, including St. Vitus' Cathedral and Golden Lane.

Panoramic views of the entire city. I wouldn't bother paying for entry to other parts of the castle, as you can see plenty for free (Changing of the Guards, St Vitus Cathedral and the grounds of the castle).

Prague Castle, the unmistakable highlight of Prague's panorama constructed in the 9th century, has served as the seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia.  

Prague Castle was stunning, honestly a place that pictures just do not do justice. There was a line to get in but it went quickly, highly recommend buying tickets to tour the inside. Definitely worth it!

Located on top of a hill in the city of Prague, it is an impressive fortress that has witnessed centuries of European history and culture, encompassing palaces, churches, gardens and towers.

The 20th century castle displays architecture from Roman-style to Gothic.

Fun fact: according to the Guinness Book of Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world.

Scenic to walk around during the day. Romantic and quiet during the evening. It's free to roam around but you can buy a pass that let's you into different areas inside the castle. 

No trip to Prague is complete without a visit to the Prague Castle. It stands tall above the city overlooking the river and the historic neighborhood of Malistrana.

Although it may not look very castle-ish, the visit on the surroundings is totally free and worth a peek! Also, the cathedral inside is stunning!

To be honest I didn't visit the Castle and maybe would of if I was around a bit longer so it's on my list for the next visit.
