Unusual Prague
A tourist who has successfully arrived in Prague, immediately feels the aroma of coffee, which comes from almost every direction. It is what leads a visitor to the capital of the Czech Republic to a rather traditional step – to spend his vacation in Prague classically for most tourists. What does it mean?
Immediately you want to go for morning sweets and breakfast in one of hundreds of coffee houses, scattered throughout the city. For “dessert” to breakfast, there’s delicious coffee, which can be different. What’s more! You will be surprised at how different it can be! That’s why the guides will immediately advise you to begin even the most unusual and not too standard tour with a traditional savoring of the unforgettable taste, holding a cup of tart and hot coffee in your hand.
After drinking the coffee, you can start an unconventional tour of Prague. And you don’t even need a guide for that. Although in this case – all at the risk of the tourist. If you feel that the knowledge or lack of knowledge of a foreign language will not make you uncomfortable – go to Charles Bridge. Make yourself a twist and walk to the Vltava River in a non-standard way, make a few zigzags and you will still find yourself in front of the river, on which Prague has been lying for a long time. Then head in the direction of the bridge along one of the banks and you’ll have a chance to admire the unforgettable architecture, reminiscent of only two cities in the world – Lvov or Vienna. The friendly people of Prague will show you the way.
Don’t forget to climb Petøín Hill, which can be seen on the left bank of the aforementioned river. It will give you a surprise – an original view of Prague from 327 meters above the city. The best time to come to this place is in the evening. Especially when you are holding your beloved one by the waist. Romance is guaranteed!
Havelský market should also be on your itinerary, because only here, in the middle of the Old Town, you can feel the atmosphere of medieval Prague, which for centuries was associated with unparalleled taste in architecture and in the daily life of people. After a little shopping you can listen to the singing fountains! Visit the original Kříkov Fountains and hear their unique melody! What does it sound like? It’s a surprise!
Want to see something that all other tourists always bypass? Visit the Jewish quarter and the Jewish cemetery. These places are breathtaking – you will feel as if you are back in the eighteenth century, and every little boy will appear to you as Motl, a hero of a book by Sholom Aleichem.
Týn Church, the house “At Black Mother of God” (which is also the famous Cubist museum in Prague), Clementinumi, the battle of the Prague Astronomical Clock – for dessert. With your favorite coffee, of course.
