Prague is a place of wonder, every new corner unique to the last. A rich, multicultural, busy city, where everyone is so pleasant, kind and welcoming. Everything about the place screams ‘there’s more to explore’ and there always is. From the historical gothic quarter of the city, which sports gothic architecture, famous historical buildings, shops, restaurants and celebrates artists, musicians and historians. All of whom add to the flavour and general feel of this part of the city. The cobbled streets make for walking in heels difficult but they are part of what makes the city feel like it’s frozen in some other time. Lunch by the river, or perhaps even on the river by boat is advisable, this part of this stunning city seems to reflect on the waters surface, you can see the Dutch parliamentary buildings, and beautiful bridges as you pass through by boat. The guide is knowledgable, clear and conscience and not one bit of information was missed or misunderstood. Getting lost in this city perhaps was the most fun, we came across shops, stores and even ‘Absentherie’ the absinthe bar down an ally-way, which was wonderfully wicked in its promise to bring you closer to that green fairy. Perhaps the part of Prague that was most endearing, was the city under the stars, the streets illuminated by old fashioned lampposts, giving the city an orange glow – adding to its spiritual, eerie tone. The city has many clubs and bars, including an impressive Hard Rock Café, a bit of a pain to find but worth every step! Right next door was a Coyote bar/club, with live performers dancing on the bar, and the city was not shy of catering to all social groups, with gay clubs to add a bit of colour to the nightlife. So whether you’re interest lies with its historical culture: it’s cathedrals, cobbled walkways, high end fashion streets, or with its fascinating nightlife – Prague has something for everyone. And leaving was something we each found heartbreaking – visit this wonderful city. Explore it. Get lost in it. But be prepared to leave wishing the plane home would come at a later date, when boarding to go home you stare out of the window with a longing smile on your face and the knowledge you left a part of your heart with this vibrant, bustling, fun and other worldly city.
