5 Days in Prague: Travel Guide

July 26, 2020

I’ve had this post sitting in drafts for months on end and given the madness of the world recently it didn’t seem appropriate to post a travel destination but now that we have fewer restrictions I thought I would finally unleash this post out into the world for you to enjoy!

 

Since my parents went to Prague to celebrate their wedding anniversary a few years ago it has made its way onto my list of places to travel, so last year myself and my boyfriend decided to take a trip to this lovely city as a quick break before we headed back to university. Here are some of our favourite things that we did!


 
Petrin Tower

This little tower was inspired by Paris’ Eiffel Tower and its structure and design are in homage to that. The tower offers an excellent view across the city of Prague and on a clear day, you can see for miles. The level below the top floor actually offers a slightly nicer view as the viewing platform isn’t anywhere near as crowded or hot meaning you can fully appreciate the landscape. The 299 steps up the tower and the walk to the attraction can be a bit of a challenge to climb but the view is worth it at the top!

Prague Castle and Cathedral
This is probably one of the most famous things to do in Prague and is definitely worth a visit. The architecture of the cathedral is stunning and it’s such a beautiful building inside as well. Student tickets only cost between £4-6 and gave us access to all sorts of areas. There are a couple of good viewing platforms dotted around the site in order to appreciate the view of the city as well.

Old Town Square
Again, probably one of the main attractions is its Old Town. This square is absolutely beautiful with so much architecture to look at. The astronomical clock is quite the novelty to look at when it chimes every hour. There are seemingly countless side streets to explore with such an array of food, drink and shopping places. Be sure to get a Trdelnik (or chimney cake) whilst you’re there – we got slightly addicted to them whilst in Prague. 

Charles Bridge 
A key tourist attraction to Prague is the Charles Bridge. Essentially, it’s a famous bridge with statues on it that now also hosts a variety of stall type things as well where you can buy souvenirs. It offers a lovely view of the river and is nice for a meander down. There’s a small museum at the foot of the bridge which can be done in about 20 mins if you fancy knowing more about the history.

Boat Ride
One of my favourite things that we did was a boat ride across the river. It was so nice to take in the sights from the comfort of your own seat, and we even got free lemonade and ice cream whilst onboard which was an added bonus. We learnt a fair amount about the history of Prague and it gave you a good overview of the city and its sights so it was well worth doing!

Prague is such a beautiful city with everything within walking distance to each other making it an ideal destination for a few days. Everything you want to see is easily accessible and stunning! You could get lost in the side streets for hours (and in fairness, we did sometimes) but there is lots of Prague to explore. I’d highly recommend a visit! Ooh and be sure to pin the Prague bucket list for later!

PIN FOR LATER!

I've been in a major reading slump recently and I've had so many uni books to get through so I haven't read anything fun for ages 😭 

Have you read this book? What did you think of it? 

Also are reviews things you'd like to read on the blog (or insta)?

Here is a completely unrelated photo to pancakes (I'm having some later!) but here are some of the horses I see on my daily walk! 

How are you doing at the moment? Are you having pancakes today?

How is everyone doing? Truth be told I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed and dishearted with my blog and uni so I'm trying to give myself some time off. 

What have you been doing?

I started bullet journaling last month and have been finding it so relaxing. I am not the best at the art side of it though 😅🎨

I posted a blog post today talking about how to create a simple spread - link in bio if you're interested! 

Do you bullet journal?
Finally we have some snow!! I've been a bit MIA Finally we have some snow!! 

I've been a bit MIA in the blogging world due to university assignments and feeling a bit run down. It's the final week of uni deadlines and then I'm chilling for a week!

The snow has really lifted my mood ❄🌨

Do you have any snow where you are?
Hello again and Happy New Year! Apologies for the Hello again and Happy New Year! Apologies for the brain dump that is about to happen in the caption but it's been a while 🙈

I've not been very active in the Instagram or blogging community recently as I've had so much uni work to do that I just haven't had the time to keep on top of it all! 🙈

I'm hoping in the next few weeks I'll get my blogging mojo back and have more time but for now if you don't see me around I'll hopefully be back soon enough 🥰

How are people feeling after the announcement yesterday? If I'm honest I'm feeling a bit deflated about it and university students are always forgotten. Every. Single. Time!! 

I'm hoping that during this lockdown (and once these deadlines have passed) I'll have more time for my blog and to start creating new content as I'm excited for my blog in 2021! 😇

In other news, I'm sticking to one of my new year goals and trying to go running and I'm actually enjoying it?! How are your new years goals going, if you set any?
