Oh man, where do I even start with Prague? Vanessa and I had been counting down the days for this leg of our European adventure, and it was everything we hoped for and more! The stunning architecture, charming cobblestone streets, and rich history. we knew we were in for something truly special.
One of our absolute favorite experiences was the Pub Tour we booked using Tripadvisor, led by our fabulous guide, Gabbi. From the moment we met her, her energy was infectious! She took us to the coziest pubs, each one brimming with character. We played fun games that turned complete strangers into instant friends, all while sipping on some seriously delicious local beers.
At the last stop on our pub tour, we decided to stay for dinner, which our guide had recommended. Vanessa tried the goulash served in a bread bowl—talk about comfort food! But for me, the real star was the Svíčková: tender beef smothered in a creamy sauce, served with soft bread dumplings. Honestly it was delicious, I could've happily eaten it for every meal. And of course we couldn’t leave Prague without trying chimney cake, even if its technically a Hungarian treat. I went for the classic plain version, but Vanessa took hers up a notch, stuffed with chocolate sauce and strawberries.
We also squeezed in a tour of the Old Town's Medieval Underground and Dungeon, which we also booked via Tripadvisor. Wandering through those dim, winding passages felt like stepping back in time—both thrilling and a little creepy! The stories about medieval life and the secrets lurking below the surface truly brought the city’s history to life in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Definitely worth checking out this tour, especially if you're a fan of history.
While visiting the Old Town Square, we made sure to stop by the iconic Astronomical Clock. Watching it strike the hour was super cool; the intricate figures danced and twirled, captivating the large crowd that awaited.
We stayed at the Hilton Prague, which worked out great! With comfy rooms and top-notch amenities, we felt right at home. While it wasn’t smack dab in the middle of the action, that just gave us the chance to explore a bit more. We used the Bolt App to zip around, and getting to all the sights was a breeze! If you’re visiting, I definitely recommend checking it out!
As our time in Prague came to a close, we were left with so many great memories. The city’s charm, incredible food, and rich history make it a fantastic destination. If you ever get the chance to visit, take it—you won’t be disappointed!

The medieval tour of the Prague underground sounds like a unique way to see the city. I like the idea of staying slightly out of the center as you did.
Just completed a 15 day trip thru Poland, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, and Berlin. Prague was my favorite!
