Prague

“A little bit of magic.”

But first – Burritos! Burritos! Burritos!

That sums up why I want to go to Prague again and also why I’ve been there four times. Tiny bit obsessive, I know. But it’s not my fault the world’s best burritos are in Prague. “Burrito Loco”, there are multiple outlets of them in Prague. Find the closest to you and go grab a burrito here! Heavenly and so filling!!

That being said, let’s move on to some of my other favorite experiences in Praha. <3

Most cities in Europe have a main square brimming with tourist, but the one in Prague wins hands down! The shops, the vibe, the food, the entertainers and every single aspect is something you’ll never experience elsewhere.

Oh… Prague…

No matter which alley you walk in, the streets are filled with music and art. I’ve seen some Hollywood star impersonators acting famous movie scenes, people dressing up in the most elaborate costumes, the best street artist producing the most magnificent paintings right in front of my eyes, playing with knives, belts, water, fire, wind and even soapy bubbles! Look!

Talking a stroll around the streets and squares of Prague is like finding magic in a world full of deadened buildings and eyes.

Now, for the foodies out there.

Whatever you do in Prague, make sure to cross these three things off your list.
Burrito from “Burrito Loco”, candies from Captain Candy (there are several outlets close to Charles Bridge) and, definitely, Trdelnik!
Trdelnik is the most amazing dessert you’ll ever have. Eat (at least) one of them after every meal and take a nice and loooong walk on the streets near Charles Bridge.

(Don’t ask me why I don’t have a proper picture of the burrito: I have no explanation. Except for the fact I was too busy hogging to get a decent picture)

Another must do experience is creating your very own perfume @Perfumed Prague Perfumery & Candles! This too is very close to Charles Bridge (everything is very close to it, actually!). Every time I’ve been in Prague, I got a bottle for myself. They use the best ingredients and the perfume lasts for a long time when used. Also, this could be a very unique gift to take back for someone 😉

There is also a very cool “Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments of Prague”. If you have spare time (and you are interested to know the history of torture in medieval times 😛 ) it is worth the entry fee.

Let’s talk about shopping now 🙂

Prague has some of the best thrift shops! Go check out at least five of them! I’ve managed to get such cool finds from these thrift shops! And apart from them, I recommend picking up some bath salts, bath bombs, mists, lotions and even face and hand creams from Manufaktura (there are several outlets throughout the city). They are the best gifts you can buy for someone. And “someone” could be “you” too, obviously. <3

Some additional places to visit in Prague are:
1. Charles Bridge
2. Head of Franz Kafka (it’s just a sculpture, relax!)
3. The Dancing House
4. Prague Astronomical Clock
5. St. Vitus Cathedral
6. Man Hanging Out (another sculpture!!)

If you are someone like me, you too will love spending a lot of time on The Charles Bridge, it has such gorgeous views, so many talented artists doing live caricatures and paintings, and there’s music in the air <3 This video is of my favorite performers. I’ve been to prague four times – but these guys were so freaking talented! I loved them!

I feel like a lost but happy puppy when in Prague <3 😀

Lastly, there are lots of Airbnbs available in Prague but, if you feel like indulging in comfort, then I suggest Hotel Eurostars Thalia. It is a five star property, super close to all the main attractions. They have a lovely breakfast spread there and beautiful cozy rooms with heated bathroom floors <3

So long, Prague <3
