Dancing House (#8)

Almost overnight Prague has become one of the hottest European spots as a lot of the city has gone through renovation. This means that Prague city breaks have grown in attractiveness for all types of visitors. In this guide, we will explore some of the best places to explore when you come to Prague.

Charles Bridge – Old Town

Charles Bridge links the two side of the town to each other. This 14th century stone bridge is significant because of the wonderful views it boasts. Furthermore, as it has become a bit of an attraction for tourists, local buskers and musicians use this as a spot to perform.

Czech Museum of Music – Lesser Town

Built in the 17th century, this museum has undergone recent renovation to take it back to its best. The museum has an astonishing 700,000 items for everybody to look at. If you are a fan of classical music or even just enjoy history in any form, then this is a place you must visit.

Dancing House – New Town

Even if you do not see the inside of this wonderful building then you need to see it from the outside. This modern glass building is surrounded by regular old-style Prague developments meaning that it really stands out. Furthermore, at the top of the Dancing House is one of the finest restaurants (Celeste) in Prague.

Jewish Museum – Josefov

This museum covers the history of Jewish living in Prague from about the 10th century. For roughly £7 per adult you can travel through the history of the Jews going through the Maisel Synagogue, Pinkas Synagogue, Klausen Synagogue and Robert Guttmann Gallery among others.

Klementinum – Old Town

This is one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague. The Klementinum is based in Old Town and should be at the top of your list. Founded in 1232 and covering an astonishing two hectares you will need a lot of time to look around all the history this wonderful building can offer. After a major refurbishment, the doors have now re-opened. Classical concerts are still preformed in this fantastic destination, even though many people visit the building just to explore the wonderful paintings and carvings around the Klementinum.

The best thing about Prague is it has become accessible since Flights to Czech Republic are offered by more providers than ever before. Now, you can find a flight to the capital of this wonderful country for hardly any money. This means that if you enjoy city breaks doused in history, Prague needs to be at the top of your list.
