Why fly to Prague?
If you’re looking for a low-cost city break, look no further than Prague flights. Perched on the Vltava River, the capital of the Czech Republic is a historic city with plenty of sights, shops, and delicious food, along with some unusual and unexpected quirks. And with plenty of cheap plane tickets to Prague available, it’s a fun place to spend a budget-friendly long weekend in Europe.
What to see in Prague
Prague is a maze of old cobbled streets, winding alleys, and historic architecture. Although there’s a lot of Prague to explore, you’ll spend most of your time in the Old Town and the Lesser Town. These neighbourhoods are where most of the main attractions are. In the Old Town, take the chance to view the astronomical clock in the Old Town Square, which is the oldest of its kind still in operation. Every hour from 9 am to 11 pm, take the chance to watch the characters on the clock move. While you’re in Old Town, the Gothic Church of Our Lady Before Týn is also well worth a visit.
In Lesser Town, the itinerary really depends on what you’re most interested in. If you love history and culture, then Prague Castle is the winner. It’s perched on a hill over the whole city, and is home to the Czech Crown Jewels. If you’re looking for the best view in the city, head over to the Petrin Lookout Tower. Built to celebrate the 1891 Jubilee, it was loosely modelled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Walk 299 steps to the top to enjoy a perfect panorama of the city and its surroundings.
Luckily, getting between the Old Town and Lesser Town couldn’t be easier. The Charles Bridge stretches between the two areas, and simply walking across is one of the top things to do in Prague. It’s one of the most lively parts of city, with musicians playing through the day and small stalls selling all sorts of handmade crafts.
Where to go for the best shopping in Prague
While you can pick up little bits and pieces on the bridge, don’t forget that there are lots of other places to buy souvenirs in Prague. Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square, and the area around Prague Castle are all good places for shopping. But ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that the best shopping street in the city is Na Prikope. From small independent boutiques to internationally famous chain stores, it’s got everything you could want, with tiny arcades leading off in every direction.
What to eat in Prague
Fly to Prague for the charming streets, but stay for the cuisine! Foodie or not, you’ll find delicious options in Prague. The Czech Republic is the home of comfort food, and most local dishes involve meat, usually pork or beef, with plenty of carby sides like potatoes or dumplings. Or if you need something quick while you’re on the go, it’s got to be a classic Czech hotdog, made by hollowing out a roll, drizzling in some ketchup and mustard, and sliding the sausage in at the end.
