There is so much to see and do in Prague. It’s a wonderful city filled with rich history and incredible architecture. Accommodation is affordable even on a budget, with prices being lower than what you will find in Vienna and higher than in Warsaw. There are many different types of museums scattered all across the city, even ones featuring beer, torture devices, sex machines, and illusions. My favorite, though, was the Museum of Communism located in the northeast corner of the Old Town.

You can easily take the tram across the Vltava River, but I recommend walking over the historic Charles Bridge at least once. There, you will find the supposed spot where the patron saint of Czechia, St John of Nepomuk, was killed in 1393 for refusing to divulge the queen’s confessions to King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia.

On the west side of the river sits the Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, the latter of which you can climb all the way to the top for a few euros. While 287 steps may seem like a lot, you will be rewarded with a stunning 360-degree view of the city.

Vyšehrad, a 10th-century fortified castle, is another place worth visiting and is located a few bus stops away south of the city center. On the left side of the entrance is a classic Gothic cemetery that is worth spending some time exploring the many eccentric headstones that are found there.
