I’ll soon be visiting Prague, my first time returning to Czechia since 2006. I’d welcome your advice on how to spend my (short) time there.

Tips For Visiting Prague – Your Advice Is Requested!

The last time I was in Prague, Czechia was still called the Czech Republic. It was my first-ever trip to Europe and I had a lovely time in the Bohemian capital city:

a man walking a dog in front of a building

a street with cars parked on it

a river with a boat in it

a woman walking on a street with trolleys

a man standing on a bridge with a body of water and a city in the background

a boat wake in the water

a bridge over water with a castle in the background

a stone tower with a statue on the side with Charles Bridge in the background

a man standing on a bridge with water and trees in the background

a man standing on a bridge with a body of water and buildings in the background

a group of people playing instruments

a man standing on a bridge with people in the background

a river between buildings with a red roof

a stone tower with a bridge and a street with people walking

a police car parked in front of a crowd of people

a man in a blue uniform standing in front of a group of men

a group of people in uniform marching

a large group of people outside a building

a building with a dome and trees

a large building with a clock on it

a large building with towers

a large church with many people sitting in the middle

But I suspect much has changed in nearly 20 years…wow, I’m getting old! I’ll have 2.5 days in the city, so a bit longer than my usual very hasty trips.

I’m still deciding whether to try both the Lindner Hotel Prague Castle and Andaz Prague, or just spend both nights at the Andaz. I probably should split it up for review purposes…I’ve always wanted to try the Four Seasons Prague, but I’m not going to splurge for a really nice hotel when I’m traveling alone.

I’m fascinated by the Cold War period and the Iron Curtain. I visited the Museum of Communism last time and would like to visit again. If there is an art museum or gallery I should visit, I’d like to viist that too.

My brother says I must try a restaurant called Čestr and I look forward to doing so. Any other restaurant recommendations are welcomed.

Of course, I am looking for coffee recommendations as well and hope to find some great cafés.

Hopefully I can get a good rest each night too…it has been a very busy few weeks.

I’ll sahre more details about the trip in the days ahead and share realtime updates along the way, but I love the Live And Let’s Fly community and would welcome your insight on how I can best maximzie my time in Prague.
