Walk through Dreamland Prague

Wondering of visiting Prague?  Then you are most welcomed to the trap because you can leave Prague but the memories of this fairy tale city will never you...

So let’s find out what makes the city of hundred spires so popular among tourist around the world.

Prague Castle 

Largest castle in the world. Yes you heard me right Prague castle is huge, it has total 70,000 square km of land and therefore has its name in genius world record. Responsible for attracting more than 2 million visitors each year, Prague castle dates back to medieval time and was constructed in 9^th century. It is home to some of most ancient yet beautiful historic buildings like St. vitus cathedral, St. Georgia Basilica, old royal palace etc.

There are also professional guides which gives you full tour of the castle. It will cost you $6 if you avail the tour in foreign languages (English, Spanish, German and French) but luckily if you understand Czech, cost will be 4 bucks.

Castle main complex is open for tourist all day but if you are keen to visit historic buildings in the castle then remember closing time is five in the evening.

The Charles Bridge

Sweetest and most iconic spot of Prague is the famous Charles Bridge. It connects city’s Old Town to the Mala Strana over the

Vltava River and was constructed way back in 13^th century.

But will wish you good look if you are visiting it late night, there have been hundreds of reports of people seeing headless ghosts walking the bridge in the middle of the night, statues moving, ghosts jumping into the river and voices being heard over the past several decades.

Isn’t it creepy and haunted? Visit by yourself and share your experience with us down in the comments.

Drinking Beer

You might a beer lover but surely you surely can’t challenge people of Prague, The locals drink more beer than any other country in the world on per capita basis. Do remember to try The Pilsner brand, Invented in Prague and most Czech beer is in this style.

Also to make things even better, beer cost less than the drinking water in most of restaurant in Prague hurray!!!

The Narrowest Street

You guys are still complaining about the narrow roads of your neighbourhood then better pay visit to the narrowest street in the world. It has no official name but one can easily find it near U Luzickeho Seminare street. 

It is only 50 centimeters wide and to make things even more fun, there is even pedestrian traffic light which you have to turn on by the side button at the entrance before entering the street.

Well it still has a purpose, it prevents people from meeting at middle and wondering how to walk pass each other. Back in days it was used as a fire exit but now it has become an unusual attraction for the tourist in the city.

Dancing House

Warnings!!! If coming from communist nation this structure might trigger you. This famous dancing house symbolises bending of communalism in front of democracy.

 It was architect by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Crazy architecture of Prague and can be seen a few kilo meters down the river from Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock.

Visiting dancing house is waste if you don’t picture yourself pretending to save the building from falling down… so do that. There is even nice but pricey restaurant named Ginger and Fred at the top floor for honouring the work of architects. 

Petrin tower

Why to visit Paris when you can climb a tower which actually resembles Eiffel tower. This 60 meters tower looks way bigger than its actual size because it stands at the top Petrin Hill. To reward yourself with amazing view of the city one has to climb total 299 steps but efforts are worth it especially if you are climbing in evening to catch beautiful sunset.

The best way to reach petrin hill would be taking a tram 9, 12, 15 or 22 and stop at UJEZD. From here onwards you can simply walk up the hill passing the beautiful park.

It will cost you around 2 bucks (hourly) to get perfect view of Prague.

Tik Tok Tik

Prague’s Astronomic clock is renowned across the world. It dates back 600 years and can be found in front of the Old Town Hall. Still it is completely functional and provides its visitors correct time and date along with astronomical and zodiacal information that it is relative positions of the sun, moon, and zodiacal constellations. Isn’t that fascinating?

Every hour a procession of moving sculptures, including a skeleton representing the figure of death, appear from the clock’s sides and strike the time. There many legends associated with the Astronomic clock, share some of them with us down in the comment section.

Food fantasy

If you are in Prague. You just can’t leave without trying their delicious pork knuckles, especially if love ham hocks you are definitely in for a treat. After all there’s a reason, the people of Prague are so obsessed with it. Yumm!!

Mlejnice is a great place to try pork knuckle in the centre of Prague.

 Bathe in Beer

That’s right!! And I am not kidding you can just take a proper bath with beer in your own private spa room and drink unlimited amount of it (of course not from your own tub). This once in lifetime experience does not come cheap, 1 tub for 1 person will cost you around 100 dollars and if are sharing the tub with your partner the cost will be 150 dollars.

There are also various health benefits associated with your beer bath, apparently the high hop oil content in the beer helps to open your pores and have a more glowing appearance. It also supposedly helps improve immunity, stimulate metabolism and ease stress - who would’ve known a beer bath could be so revitalising!!

Better have reservation while visiting; after all you are in the Beer capital of the world.

High in the Sky

TV tower or as local says zizkov tower is the tallest tower in Prague with structural height of 216 meters. Tower offers panoramic views of the city and the surrounding area from nine separate pods. 

There are even crawling babies up the sides of the tower that can be seen from all around. They were added recently to make the tower a tourist attraction and it seems they are serving the purpose quite well.

To my surprise there is even a one room hotel on the tower. Yes you read it right, isn’t it cool. But this sweet little hotel might not be right place for most of you looking for budget travel in the city; cost can go as high as $1000 per night in this 5 star one room hotel.
