5 Unmissable Things for the Perfect Trip to Prague
Prague – a city with 100 towers and historic architecture, stands out as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. To experience the best of Prague, consider these 5 key aspects:
1 – Explore by Foot
Take a leisurely stroll along the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, visit the vibrant John Lennon Wall – a colorful tribute to the famous singer and activist of The Beatles.
Moreover, don't forget to explore other architectural gems of Prague, such as towers and astronomical clock towers from medieval times.
2- Visit the Black Madonna House
The Black Madonna House (czkubismus.cz) in the Old Town is a showcase of the history of the Cubist movement, featuring prominent chairs, large staircases, and wrought iron grilles at the windows.
The Grand Orient Café is the only place with Cubist interior design still in existence in the world. Even the pastries have a square shape with a hole in the middle.
3 – Explore the Alphonse Mucha Museum
This is a must-visit for Art Nouveau enthusiasts. The museum displays works of posters, depicting the beauty of nature and the female form, along with currency and jewelry designs by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha.
Mucha's art pieces are frequently spotted around the city of Prague, from the stained glass windows at St. Vitus Cathedral to the interior and exterior of the city hall.
4 – Stroll Across Charles Bridge
Built in the mid-14th century under the patronage of Emperor Charles IV, this bridge is named after him. It is also the oldest bridge among the 17 bridges spanning the Vltava River, adorned with 30 Baroque-style statues of saints.
5 – Visit the Ancient Jewish Cemetery
Upon hearing about this cemetery, one might expect a chilling and haunting experience. On the contrary, it attracts many visitors, and the atmosphere is vibrant. Initially, you'll explore a museum circuit and learn about the beliefs and customs of the Jewish community.
Additionally, you cannot overlook the grand, solemn, yet profoundly moving exhibition – a tribute to over 77,000 Czech Jews murdered by the Nazi regime. Their names are inscribed on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue.
