📍 Weekend in Prague — A Fairytale City Come to Life
I visited Prague in April for a short weekend trip, and even though it was impossible to see everything, every moment felt magical. The city is easily walkable, and most major attractions — from the Old Town Square to Charles Bridge — are within reach by foot or short tram rides. Spring in Prague means blooming trees, warm sunshine, and lively streets.
🏰 What to See & Do
Start your day exploring the Prague Castle, then wander down through Mala Strana to the Charles Bridge. Don’t miss the Astronomical Clock, cozy cafés by the Vltava River, and sunset views from Letná Park. Even in a couple of days, you can feel the soul of the city — charming, historic, and full of life.
☕ Food, Shopping & Pro Tips
Try local dishes like trdelník and svíčková in small Czech restaurants. Souvenir shops near the Old Town offer handmade crafts and jewelry. Wear comfortable shoes — Prague’s cobblestones are beautiful but tricky! Visit early morning or late evening to enjoy the city’s fairytale calm without the crowds.
Charles Bridge
Ready to soak up the best of Prague? Here’s my lightning list of must-see spots — all about wild architecture, rainy moods and culture-hopping thanks to Kafka’s spirit lurking everywhere! 🌧️❄️
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Statue of Franz Kafka (Dušní, 110 00 Staré Město): The surreal bronzed Kafka waiting for your camera, open 24/7 — perfect for moody twilight photos! Pro tip: Go early to beat the selfie crowd.
2. Franz Kafka - Rotating Head by David Cerny (Charvátova, 110 00 Nové Město): This constantly shifting art piece literally turns heads — and it’s open all day so catch it whenever. Don't blink: each turn is different!
3. Prague Astronomical Clock (Staroměstské nám. 1): Time travel back to the 15th century with this medieval gadget. Go at the hour to watch the mechanical show! Hours: 09:00–20:00 (Apr–Dec), 10:00–19:00 (Jan–Mar).
4. National Museum (Václavské nám. 68): Huge dose of Czech history plus epic architecture — ticket is 163.99 CZK, open from 10:00–18:00 most days (closed Dec 24 & Jan 1).
5. Charles Bridge (Karlův most): Rain or shine, this iconic bridge always glows, especially at night with castle views — open 24/7 for those atmospheric strolls.
Transport Hack: Prague’s trams and metros are fast, cheap and super central. Buy tickets at metro stations or newsstands; validate once onboard!
Food rec: Nab a chimney cake with ice cream from stands near Charles Bridge for that sugar rush in the rain.
Money/weather tip: EUR not accepted; use Czech koruna (ATM is best). Pack a light rain jacket — showers pop up anytime!

Dancing House
The Dancing House is a stunning modern architectural landmark, resembling a pair of dancers gracefully twirling on the riverbank. Its twisting, streamlined exterior, a blend of glass and concrete, was built between 1992 and 1996 and designed by architects Frank Gehry and Vladimir Milunic. Renowned for its distorted, dynamic form, it symbolizes a pair of dancers on the riverbank: the concrete tower on the right representing the "male dancer," and the glass curtain wall tower on the left the "female dancer." The hemispherical glass structure at the top resembles a top hat, perfectly blending postmodern deconstructivism with a striking contrast to the surrounding classical architecture. Standing out from Prague's Baroque and Gothic buildings, it symbolizes modern vitality. This building is not only a visual spectacle but also a must-see attraction, representing Prague's transition from history to modernity.
Rooftop Terrace (Glass Bar): 360-degree river views, overlooking Prague Castle, Petrin Hill, and bridges; incredibly romantic at sunset or night! Enjoy a cocktail or coffee while chatting and taking photos.
Ginger & Fred Restaurant: Michelin-starred French cuisine, featuring seafood, steak, and creative dishes, perfectly complemented by river views; the lunch set menu offers great value.
First-floor café: Light sandwiches, salads, and homemade desserts in a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a casual lunch.
This building is located in Prague's New Town (Nové Město), near Jiráskovo náměstí Square. Take Metro Line B to Karlovo náměstí station, about a 7-minute walk, and it's approximately 1.1 km from Charles Bridge, making it easily accessible on foot.
Charles Bridge
#falladventures
Start at Charles Bridge at sunrise (empty & magical). Walk to Old Town Square: see the Astronomical Clock strike 9, grab trdelník. Climb Old Town Hall tower for panoramic views. Cross to Malá Strana, ride the funicular up to Prague Castle & golden St. Vitus Cathedral. Lunch: goulash + Pilsner at a riverside pub. Afternoon: stroll Kampa Island, visit Lennon Wall, relax in Letná beer garden with castle skyline. Sunset from Vyšehrad fortress. Evening: Vltava dinner cruise or local pivnice for svíčková & dark Kozel. One day, a thousand memories.
Old Town Square
In winter, Prague transforms into a Christmas fairytale. It's the perfect city for a winter trip to Europe, offering value, atmosphere, and photogenic charm. 🎁
1️⃣ Unparalleled Christmas Market Quality 🎄🛍️
Prague's markets are far more beautifully decorated than in other cities. They're beautifully decorated with wooden booths. Sparkling decorations and warm lights exude a Christmas atmosphere. The market alone will definitely elevate your trip.
2️⃣ The most beautiful Christmas tree in Europe 🎄🌟
The main tree in Old Town Square is truly stunning! Its size, lighting, and color are all impeccable. It's so famous that European travelers say, "The tree alone is enough to make Prague a must-see."
3️⃣ The sunset from Prague Castle is a must-see 🌅🏰
The combination of the red rooftops and the purple sky seen from the castle... It's the perfect romantic moment in winter Prague.
A must-see along with the Christmas market!
4️⃣ Stout + Chimney Bread is a must-try 🍺🥐
Prague is a stout paradise, so the prices are affordable and the taste is incredible! In winter, it's perfect with a warm chimney bread (trdelník).
Eastern European prices make it affordable, which is a huge plus.

#TravelItinerary #EuropeTravel
I visited Prague, Czech Republic, on a short 2-night, 3-day trip. Because the city is small, our itineraries overlapped a lot during that time, but I'll share a Czech itinerary that's also possible in 1-night, 2-day trips!
#. Prague, Czech Republic Day 1
🇨🇿 Wenceslas Square
Wenceslas Square, one of Prague's landmarks, is home to a variety of shopping malls and accommodations.
Since my accommodation was nearby, I passed by it quite often. On my way back to my accommodation, I naturally came across the National Museum, lit up at night!
I find European streets truly beautiful. The sight of European architecture, unlike in Korea, and the trams cruising along the streets fills me with anticipation and excitement for a new travel destination. 😍
🇨🇿 Havel Market
On the way to Old Town, you'll find Havel Market. The colorful fruit stalls lining the streets are a sight to behold.
I bought a cute Prague opener and magnet here as souvenirs. The busy Havel Market opens at 7 a.m., so it's worth a visit!
🇨🇿 Old Town Square
Arriving at Old Town Square, the first thing you'll see is the famous Prague Astronomical Clock. The clock's colors and intricacies add to the beauty of the building.
Every hour on the hour, the clock tower starts to move. Crowds flock to the area around that hour, so be sure to observe it carefully.
On my first day, I squeezed in with the crowds, but on my second visit, I sat at a restaurant's outdoor table and enjoyed the view leisurely with a beer. 👍
The observation deck at the Astronomical Clock Tower is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., but there's an admission fee!
Across from the Prague Astronomical Clock is the Church of Our Lady before Týn, with its striking twin spires. I didn't plan on going inside, but feel free to explore!
🇨🇿 Charles Bridge
Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge in the Czech Republic and one of the most beautiful bridges in Europe, connecting it to Prague Castle.
There are 30 statues of famous Czech saints, including St. John of Nepomuk, St. Louis, and St. Vitus. The St. John of Nepomuk statue is the most famous. Many people come to make wishes in front of it.
Prague's night view is considered one of the three best in Europe, and this is the perfect spot for it. You can see Prague Castle at night from Charles Bridge. ❣️
After enjoying the night view of Charles Bridge, on your way back to your accommodation, take a peek at Old Town Square at night! It offers a completely different atmosphere than during the day. :)
🇨🇿 Kampa Island
As you approach the end of Charles Bridge, Prague Castle becomes more and more visible. You'll also get closer to Kampa Island. While you're at it, be sure to check it out!
Didn't Kampa Island sometimes call itself the Venice of Prague? It's a small, man-made island with a river flowing next to the building, creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
🇨🇿 Bredovski Dvur
We decided to have dinner at Bredovski Dvur near our accommodation before heading back. It's near Wenceslas Square.
The friendly server greeted us in simple Korean. 👋 This restaurant is frequented by many Koreans. It's nice to hear Korean greetings in the Czech Republic. :)
I was busy all day, moving around from morning till night, with no time to rest, but a cold Czech beer was a great way to relax. I'm ending my trip with a large Koleño, which tastes like grilled pig's feet with crispy skin and tender meat, and some salty French fries. ❣️
#. Prague, Czech Republic Day 2
🇨🇿 IPPA Café
On the second morning of my Prague trip, I started my journey with a hearty Korean breakfast! Today, I'm heading to Prague Castle, but before I do, I'm stopping by a cafe recommended by the Korean guesthouse staff for coffee.
It's now called IPPA Café, and it's famous for its pistachio cake. It's not cheap, but it pairs perfectly with my flat white. It's open from 8 a.m., making it the perfect cafe for on-the-go travelers. :)
🇨🇿 Prague Castle B Course Tour
Take a taxi to Prague Castle. Prague Castle is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest castle and a Prague landmark.
Admission to Prague Castle was from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when I visited in October, but this may vary depending on the season. Also, the interior tour, exhibitions, art galleries, and the Changing of the Guard seem to have separate times, so check the schedule carefully!
Prague Castle is so large that tickets are divided into Tour A and Tour B. Of course, you can do both. I chose Tour B because I was pressed for time.
The B Course Tour is a popular choice among tourists. It consists of the overwhelmingly magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George's Cathedral, and Golden Lane, demonstrating that grandeur can be achieved without flashy colors.
Inside St. Vitus Cathedral, you can see Alphonse Mucha's stained glass windows made of broken colored glass, and in Golden Lane, you can visit the studio of the famous Czech writer Franz Kafka!
🇨🇿 Restaurant Černý Orel
The Prague Castle tour ends at 5:00 PM, so afterward, we headed back to the Old Town! We stopped by a restaurant near Charles Bridge for a late lunch/dinner, which we missed while visiting Prague Castle.
We'll eat here and then head back to see the night view of Prague. We ordered beer and goulash. I was a little surprised to see a whole basket of bread before our meal. The portions were huge. :)
🇨🇿 Prague Castle at Night
The night view with Charles Bridge in the background didn't turn out well because of the lack of light, but the night view of Prague Castle from Charles Bridge was truly stunning, sparkling and beautiful. Day 2 of my trip to Prague, Czech Republic, was all about Prague Castle. :)
🇨🇿 Old Town Square at Night
On the way back to my accommodation, my last night view spot was Old Town Square. It was a must-see on my way to my accommodation, so I visited it many times during my two-day, one-night trip, both during the day and at night. :)
Thanks to the popularity of the Prague Astronomical Clock and the Church of Our Lady Before Týn, this place is always bustling with people, day and night. The night view of Old Town Square offers a completely different atmosphere than during the day.
My two-day, one-night trip to Prague, Czech Republic, was packed with walking, sights, and a tight schedule. However, I didn't want to miss a single moment; every second was a joy! 😍
