Holidays to Prague are big on old-town sights, buzzy squares and some of the best beer in Europe.
The City of a 100+ Spires
Okay, so it’s technically called the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’, but Prague’s skyline actually flexes over 500 of them. From the fairy-tale Prague Castle to the grand St Nicholas Cathedral, this city’s basically an open-air museum of different eras. Renaissance and Baroque buildings meet contemporary Cubist edges and Art Nouveau swirls. For the best photo op, head up the Petřín Lookout Tower. The city views are totally worth the 299 steps to the top.
Old vs new
Prague loves a mega main square – it’s got one in the old town and in the new town, so people-watching outside cafés and bars is so on. The Old Town Square’s home to an 80-metre-high church and the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world. In Wenceslas Square, you’ll find the National Museum, the statue of St Wenceslas and a line-up of shops, cafés and nightclubs.
Arty babe
Art and culture are Prague’s main personality traits, with 800+ years of history and stories lining its cobbled streets. Ofc, there are the classic paintings and sculptures on display at places like St Agnes’ Convent, or you could just step outside and admire the street art. The John Lennon Wall is iconic – it’s giving Berlin Wall but make it Beatles’ themed. Check out the decades of graffiti and read all the different lyrics.
The Jewish Quarter
Prague’s Jewish Quarter – AKA Josefov – sits between the Old Town and the Vltava River. There’s a lot more to this area than just pretty streets – it’s packed with powerful history, from centuries-old synagogues to the Jewish Museum, where artefacts that survived WWII are still telling stories. Don’t miss the Spanish Synagogue, one of the prettiest in Europe – think golden-domed ceilings and ornate Arabic-inspired designs.
