There's no denying that the view of Prague is impeccable. As one of the most sought out attractions, the aerial view of Prague is one that is most awe inspiring. Rolling grassy hills, and medieval architectural buildings and homes are the backdrop to towering cathedrals and most notably, the Prague Castle.
Boasted as Prague's number one attraction, this 1100-year-old castle is a medieval city within the city. Filled with cathedrals, gardens, royal palaces and galleries, the Prague Castle is definitely a day trip! Be aware that certain parts of the castle like the Old Royal Palace and, "The Story of Prague Castle" exhibition, are closed for parts of the year and when open do require an admissions ticket. Visiting on an off season? Don't worry, there are plenty more places of interest at the castle. You have to check out the Changing of the Guards ceremony every hour on the hour, this is something most people only see one TV!
Already been to the Prague Castle? Witness an event once graced by the presence of famous greats such as Duke Ellington and B. B. King. Visit Prague during the week of November 22nd-30th for the International Jazz Festival. With artists coming from almost 15 countries, this jazzy event is sure to be one that you won't get tired of quickly and if you look closely. . .the Czech Republic's President could be in attendance!
Anytime during your visit to Prague, take the kids over to the Toy Museum Prague--yes a museum of toys! This attraction is actually inside of the Prague Castle--it has everything! The giant toy palace has everything from old wooden puppets to new age dolls. The great thing about this museum. . .kids under 15 are FREE!
These sites and events are a minuscule peek of the attractions that Prague has to offer, so check out any of the city's websites online for more information. Take advantage of your visit whether it's for play or relaxation and enjoy the view, walk barefoot on the cobblestone and blow bubbles in the park.
