Compared to my first visit to Prague over a decade ago, there seems so much more to see or do…or perhaps I didn’t research it well enough the first time. There definitely wasn’t the high density of stag parties and drinks I’d been warned about. A few but no worse than Norwich.
My legs were tired after yesterday’s walking so it was a rude awakening to have a steep uphill walk to the Magical Cave – an artist’s surreal grotto with artwork situated in Kinsky Garden. The cave was ok, artwork not really to my taste but the views from the top were so good we figured we didn’t need to do Petrin Tower (a replica of the Eiffel tower).
We then walked back down to a simple but lovely sandwich shop called Bread Gap for some lunch and managed to find the Quo Vadis car sculpture which is hidden in the back garden of the Deutsch embassy.
Mark was keen to see the castle and palaces so we visited the drip wall in the Czech senate – spotted a few faces and a white peahen with chicks, had cake at a open market event, and then had the long climb up the city steps. Top tip organise your route to only go down them, it’s hardwork 😂 I rested outside while he went in as I was tired lol
Having ticked off our sights list we would definitely recommend it. I’m sure you could tailor your trip to suit your tastes. If we had more time we would have visited Cross Bar, Dox centre for contemporary art which has an airship on the roof and a r2d2 bunker…but sadly we had to dash in the afternoon and drive 4 hours to Wroclaw for a surprise!
