After my nightmare train journey, we arrived in Prague with excitement and expectation and although
the weather was shocking, the city didn’t disappoint.
Being famous for the
historic Old Town in the centre of the city, we spent a lot of time exploring this area, which is packed with restaurants, bars and various street
performers and musicians. Nearby, there are many rooftop bars, where you can
enjoy a drink while getting an unbelievable view of the city.
A simple walk
along the Charles Bridge also provides great views of the city. There are also
(again) many bars and restaurants next to the bridge which is another great
place to sit down with a beer – after all, Prague is well-known for its cheap
but delicious beer.
On top of our
list of things to do was to visit the world-famous John Lennon wall, which is covered with John Lennon and the Beatles graffiti, lyrics and quotes since
the 1980’s, The wall is a special sight to see, although is packed with tourists, like ourselves, taking photos. Just beside the wall are pubs to visit which
are dedicated to the Beatles star himself.
Prague is
also very well known for being a place of stag do’s and heavily drink-filled holidays, as
we saw with many pub crawls (which you can sneak into easily) and other organised events being held across the
city. Only being there for 3 nights, we only managed one event which was the
traffic light boat party. For the price 25 euros, you’re given 2.5 hours to
enjoy a free bar, where you then go on a two-hour midnight cruise along the
river on a two floored boat, the bottom being the dancefloor and the top filled
with benches which is a great place to meet and socialise with other tourists. Once
the boat part ends, you are then given free entry into one of the many popular
nightclubs in the centre of the city – although I should warn you – pretending
to be bouncers outside these clubs does not go down well with
the bouncers on shift at the other entrances (for some reason), and when approached by one of
these bouncers, do not try and ask him for his own ID…
