Renowned for it's explicit night life, there's much more to Prague than meets the eye- okay not a lot more, but there is stuff to do. Nile and I went for 4 days in January on a bit of a spur of the moment break, it was cheap so we thought "what the hell!".
We booked with KGBdeals and it was £129 each for flight and accommodation with breakfast included (*swoons*). Of course you can only go on certain dates but it just so happened to fit in nicely with our plans. We only took £250 out with us as it's quite cheap in Eastern Europe cities and we weren't planning on buying much anyway.
When we got there it was snowing so it was super cute if not really really, I mean really, cold. In fact it was so cold we couldn't stay out for that long, so a lot of the holiday was spent playing Candy Crush and Blackjack. Nevertheless, here's my 5 fav Prague picks:
- Tram rides!- Now I know it's not that amazing, but for someone who has never been on a tram, it was funnn! They're cheap- one 30min ticket is 24CZK or about 70p, which you can buy from your hotel, ticket machines and corner shops. They're the main source of transport around the city (apart from taxis)- just be sure to know where your stop is so you're not walking around for ages -_-
- Visit the Castle- The highlight of my trip. Whether night or day, the castle is so so beautiful. Situated on the top of a hill, it is a bit of a steep walk up but the view of both the castle and city are worth it.
- Explore the nightlife- Yeahh again this means Strip Club's (wooooo) and all that jazz, but this is what Prague is known for, so it'd be a shame to miss out on it, wouldn't it?
- Take a walk on the Charles Bridge- Insanely beautiful and HUGE, the Charles bridge is one of those things you see and are just like WOAH. It's just over 620m long and just under 10m wide- you'll know when you've spotted it, fo' sho.
- Go to Praha Zoo- Prague's zoo is considered the 7th best in the world and I can see why. Very few animals were out because of the snow but the ones we did see were beautiful- one baby monkey even entertained us with a composition (???) of backflips! It's fairly easy to get to on the bus and cheap too- it was only 300 CZK for the both of us, that's £9...sw-heeet.
Top tip: Prague centre is quite small so get the tram in and then walk. We like to wander because you see things you wouldn't normally see if you had a specific route planned out. In smaller cities (i.e cities not as big as London) I find wandering is best. Give it a go! You'll be surprised just how much you see!
