Prague travel highlights

Prague skyline - culitvatedrambler.com

stayed: An air bnb right on freakin’ Old Town Square, which is where a ton of the major sites are located. It was baller status people. You could spit on the Tynn Church if you wanted to. Highly recommended and the host gave us all sorts of restaurant recommendations, which is a huge help when you have to make that decision three times per day. #travelerproblems

saw: Old Town Square including Tynn Church and the Astronomical Clock.

The mall Footlocker twice. You’d be surprised just how hard it was to find decent replacement tennis shoes, which I never did. Anyone want an EU Footlocker gift card?

Charles Bridge, Prague - cultivatedrambler.com

Charles Bridge on a rainy, moody afternoon. Do your research before rubbing a status on there for good luck. We rubbed the wrong one. Whoops.

Cesky Krumloff, Czech Republic - cultivatedrambler.com
A day trip to the charming castle town of Cesky Krumloff. Note to travelers – use Student Agency bus service. It’s very easy AND they have wifi! Join up with a walking tour with local guide. And don’t forget to see the bears. Rawr.

John Lennon Wall and other cheeky Prague art.

Prague Castle, which I’d recommend get there early, like right when they open. They have a decent audio tour that’s reasonable. Note to travelers – before you do anything else, get into the Cathedral before the hordes of tour buses arrive.

conquered: How to successfully ice my feet each night. Frozen water bottles = success.

Prague public transportation. The maps look confusing but it was pretty straightforward. Great for getting around if you aren’t able to walk a ton.

How to avoid “noise” in photographs. Prague is crowded with a capital “C” and trying to capture photos around them is an acquired talent.

other travel notes: Good restaurants include: Mincovna right on Old Town Square and Lokal, which is near the Jewish Quarter. Our host told us that restaurants don’t stay open late, and he was right. Note to travelers: plan on eating dinner semi-early in Prague. Bars are open until the wee hours though. Breakfast is hard to find too. Cheerios, yogurt and apples became our go-to for the rest of the trip.

If you see something you think you might need, buy it right then and there! You don’t know how many times I kicked myself in the ass on this one. Ugh. A prime example – a pharmacy is different than a drug store. You can only find important things such as Aleve at a pharmacy NOT a drug store. Get that ‘ish when you can.

Dogs can go everywhere and 99% of them are off leash, even on busy streets! Those were some well-behaved pooches. Perhaps I should ship Stella off to Eastern Europe for some training!
