it’s been a LONG time since i’ve been to Prague & while i was looking forward to some of the fun activities Leah Travels & i had planned, i remembered Prague to be just okay. i can now say I STAND CORRECTED. i really loved my visit to Prague so much more this visit. YES it was warmer this time as it’s only November and the last time i was there it was March. AND it’s true, i’ve been traveling with great company, so i’m sure that also impacted my impressions of Prague as well. BUT these are only some of the reasons i enjoyed Prague.
both times i’ve visited the Czech Republic capital i’ve stayed in apartments. this time, Leah & my Go with Oh apartment was in a perfect location in the old town city center of Prague. we could easily get to so many places quickly. while i found the apartment stay option great both times, some may prefer the convenience of staying in a hotel. i noticed that there seemed to be many Prague hotel options offered at different price points.
here are some of my other observations:
- i liked how much cleaner it was this time – it’s as if everything had a fresh coat of paint
- i appreciated the quaintness of this old city
- i enjoyed learning more about Prague’s interesting history by taking a free walking tour
- i thought the Prague Pub Crawl was an excellent way to make new friends
- i found the people more friendly this go round
- i tried the street food & it was delicious
- i appreciated that it was still an affordable place to visit
- i found the beer heavier than i remembered
- i realized how badly taxi drivers try to rip off tourists
- i thought the Prague local shot specialties tasted awful
- i regretted not making it to the Prague Beer Museum or the Absintherary
when it comes to travel, it’s just about impossible to do everything. i guess it gives me a great excuse to return to Prague down the road! AND that’s not a bad thing either!!
have you been to Prague recently? if so, what would you add to the list?
