We arrived late in the afternoon to the place we had booked in the heart of Prague. It was very central in Old Town and right next to a large shopping mall which was perfect because there was a grocery store on the bottom floor that we could get groceries from!
We decided to cook an easy chicken alfredo because we were both tired from traveling but, despite using google translate, we messed up a few translations from Czech to English and ended up getting Turkey instead of chicken and sour cream instead of heavy cream. We also picked up some local Czech beers because they were very cheap! Everything in Prague was very cheap!
The next morning we headed out bright and early to do a walking tour of the city. Prague old town is quite small and it is quite manageable to go around by foot is you don’t mind walking!
We were from the north edge of Old town, and so we walked south towards the central square.
All the streets in Prague are beautiful and the buildings immaculately kept because it is all considered a UNESCO world heritage site and required to keep its same style from hundreds of years ago.
After walking around lesser town, we made our way over St. Charles Bridge. It was packed but so beautiful; I can definitely tell why it’s the most popular site in Prague.
We walked up towards Prague Castle that has St. Vitus Cathedral and, while it was a lot of stairs, the views up were stunning.
Security inside the castle compounds was long but the cathedral inside was worth waiting for.
As we exited Prague castle we realized we had come in the back and the front had stairs leading to a ramp-up to the castle that the king used to take!
We did all this by noon and were very hungry so stopped at the base of Letna park to eat our packed lunch.
Our afternoon schedule was to do an E-bike tour of Prague through Airbnb. This was by far one of the best experiences I have ever done. We were able to see so much and the guide was very informative.
Our first stop on the E-bike tour was around Petrin Park, which is at the top of a hill so it made having E-bikes very useful.
Petrin park is famous for it’s Eiffel tower replica.
We next visited so many palaces, the church Mozart loved that was also a spy tower for the communist party, and Lennon wall. Lennon wall was painted opposite the French embassy when the Communist Party ran Prague and was to tell every Lennon had died. Now it is a place to highlight freedom of speech!
We also visited the front of Prague castle before biking to Letna park for a beer
The last stop of the tour was a stunning view of St. Charles Bridge!
After our E-bike tour, we were exhausted and starving so we scoped out all the food in Lesser town and found some Prague Hot Dogs and Chimney cakes with icecream! Chimney cakes are cinnamon flavored doughnuts in a cone shape.
Day in Prague well spent!
