2019-04-21 Prague

The last two days in Czechia, we stay in Prague. Our first day in the country, I had the opportunity to visit the city. But, Prague is one of the most well-conserved cities in Europe with a big historical city center as it was not so heavily affected during World War II as other similar cities in the continent. So, extra time to visit Prague is welcome. 

During the two days, I visit all the top recommended places, some of them for a second time: 

• Charles Bridge: Iconic 14th-century structure with views Prague.

• Prague Castle: Complex dating from the 9th century.

• St. Vitus Cathedral: Shrine & home of national treasures.

• Astronomical Clock: 600-year-old clock in the main square.

I walk the pedestrian streets for hours. The weather is fantastic and I do not want to miss any detail of the city. 

But, the most efficient way to travel in Prague is by tram. The old tramcars Trata T3 were built in the 60s and link the city with its recent past. The 24 CZK (1€) ticket and the card pay-system inside the train are very attractive in price and ease of use for tourists like us. 

The city still has one last surprise for us. Close to our apartment, far from the most touristic areas, we discover Havlíčkovy Sady (Havlicek Gardens) with a very unique restaurant at the top of a hill. Viniční Altán (Vineyard arbour) offers quality drinks and views of the garden and the neighbourhood. Sometimes the best places are close to home. It is a nice way of ending the day.
