Picturesque Prague

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most visited cities in Eastern Europe. It has been described as a fairy-tale city and it certainly gives off a fantastical aura.
The historical ambience in Prague is ubiquitous. In Old Town Square, the gothic and baroque architecture surrounds you as you wait for the Astronomical Clock Tower to chime. The Vyšehrad Castle, which overlooks the city, dates back to the 9th century and was once occupied by the Kings of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperors.
Take a somber stroll through Josefov, the former Jewish ghetto of Prague. While walking from synagogue to synagogue and through the crowded cemetery, which is the oldest existing Jewish cemetery in Europe, try to imagine what it was like to be a Jew living in Prague during the Second World War. It’s an eerie but educational experience.
There are also many other things to do in Prague like visiting the Prague Zoo or crossing one of Prague’s most distinctive landmarks, the Charles Bridge. Shopping in Prague is a great way to stumble upon authentic Czech souvenirs and Marionnette shops in the alleys branching out from the Old Town Square. The five-storey Karlovy Lazne is the largest club in central Europe and the highlight of the nightlife in Prague (and its interior dates back to the 14th/15th centuries)!
There’s definitely a romantic feel to Prague. The city is naturally decorated by roses that seem to congregate in various locations, providing a host of magnificent rose gardens to stroll through, hand-in-hand with your special someone. You can also enjoy an orchestral performance in one of Prague’s majestic concert halls, it’s a truly authentic and delightful experience, and romantic if you go just the two of you.
If you’re on a diet, be prepared to stray a decent distance away from healthy eating while you’re in Prague. Traditional Czech cuisine is hearty, savoury, and fatfull (not fatfree)! We’re talking Knedliky (flour dumplings), Gulas (a stew-like dish based on either chicken, duck, turkey, fish, rabbit or lamb) and Kolac (Czech cakes filled with jam), not to mention beer! One thing’s for sure, you’ll leave Prague nice and replete…with not only food, but culture!
