Why Prague Is My Favorite City

A small cobblestone city you can explore on foot

Prague is a compact cobblestone city that you can explore in a short time. In the center you find the ancient clock, small museums, little shops and trams, along with the castle and the amazing Charles Bridge.

The whole structure of the city is really amazing. I always try to include Prague when I am traveling near Krakow, Slovenia, Dresden or Berlin.

You feel like you have gone back in time

As far as I know, the old town is protected from skyscrapers. Once you visit Prague, you will know why they want to keep it that way. You feel like you have gone back hundreds of years.

I would love to come back whenever I get the chance. I will always, always love to see Prague.

A castle view over the whole city

Go a little beyond the old town to [castle name to be added]. From there, you can see the whole city, with boats on the river. It is amazing.

Beer, chimney cakes and hot wine

Prague has a big beer culture. Many people think of Germany first, but the Czech Republic drinks the most beer per person in the world. You will see people cheering with those big beer mugs.

Around the cobblestone streets of the old town, you will find chimney cake shops and ice cream, and hot wine offered here and there. You can also watch the ancient clock’s show in the old town every day.

Easy to reach, and beautiful by train

Prague is well connected, and you can easily come by train from Dresden, Berlin or Munich. I have tried all three ways of getting there: bus, train and plane. By train, I came once from Berlin and once from Budapest.

The ride from Berlin is beautiful. Just after Dresden, the train runs next to the river and past the mountains, so you get to explore the countryside between Germany and the Czech Republic, not only the city.
