Prague is the most beautiful city

Prague is the most beautiful city in the country, which you can fall in love with at first sight, so it is not surprising that many travelers come here again and again, but with comfortable shoes, lots of money and brutal appetite.

The Christmas period is the time to give and receive gifts, so it would be wrong to come from Prague without souvenirs for your relatives and friends. Be sure to buy in Prague a real “Green” (this is the famous Mint 30 ° liquor) or absinthe, the number of species of which is quite large. As a gift, friends can also bring T-shirts with the image of the Czech favorite writer Franz Kafka or the famous artist Alphonse Mucha. As a Christmas gift to numerous relatives, you can choose interesting and original figures of the defender of the house, for example, a witch on a broomstick, a soldier Schweik or Pinocchio. Almost all souvenirs can be purchased in the area of ​​Vatsldava and Old Town Squares, where the range of goods and prices are almost the same.

If you want to enjoy shopping, then know that during the Christmas season there are major sales here, so you should go to the main street Na Příkopě for shopping. There is a huge number of clothing stores and shoes from European brands, as well as boutiques with jewelry, cafes and restaurants. The most pleasant and necessary souvenirs from Prague are considered to be products made from Bohemian crystal: refined vases, beautiful glasses, chandeliers, etc.

In order not to forget to visit some of the remarkable sites of Prague, you should get acquainted with their list in advance, which includes the following places of interest: Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, the famous Charles Bridge over the Vltava River, an amazing toy museum, Stare Mesto and the Jewish Quarter (Czech the name "Josefov"), the castle in Visegrád, the castle of Troy, a huge Prague zoo. You should also take a boat trip on the Vltava River, see the majestic Krizik fountains and visit the Smichov brewery, including beer tasting in the program.

If you come on an excursion to Prague Castle, then be sure to stroll through the narrow, but very cozy Golden Street, the entrance to which is paid. On this street there are many souvenir shops with authentic souvenirs, for example, you can buy glass, leather and perfumery handmade at a reasonable price.

In addition, for a fee, you can shoot a real medieval crossbow or climb the viewing platform of the Daliborki tower and look at the places where alchemists and jewelers once lived.

You should also understand that there are a huge number of museums in Prague, but to visit them for one tourist trip is simply unrealistic, so try to find time to get acquainted with the collections of at least some of them. The largest and most famous museum of the capital of the Czech Republic is considered to be the National Museum, but you are unlikely to bypass it in a few hours, so dedicate at least half a day to it. It is also worth visiting the museum of toys, Czech music, the Mozart Museum, wax figures or Czech glass. If you like to tickle your nerves, then go to the museum of torture tools or the museum of erotic toys.

The city is also worth exploring the Petrin Tower, climb the viewing platform of the TV tower and see the unusual “Dancing House”, considered to be one of the symbols of Prague.

If you get tired of going on excursions, you can always go to the suburbs of Prague, where there is a good water park. The cost of visiting is quite reasonable, and you can easily enjoy skiing from the slides, swimming in the jacuzzi, Roman saunas, etc.
