If you are planning a trip to Prague, you will find some information in this article that may help you create your itinerary for your holiday.

Home of the Largest Medieval Castle in the World

Prague is a magical city. You understand it the minute you start walking through its medieval streets. It brings a sensation that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. It is certainly due, in good part, to its castle looking over the city, perched on the hill. You can’t miss it, since it is the largest medieval one, in the whole world. It’s 130-meter wide and located on 70,000 square meters of land. It will send you right back in time, when kings and queens ruled Europe. Today, it is also home to the president of the Czech Republic. No wonder that it sits at the top of things to do in Prague.

While you visit, you will get to see things such as a room full of torture instruments. It will remind you that not everyone was invited to visit, back in the days, and that some ended their lives abruptly, inside these walls. However, the following rooms will provide you with kings and queens dresses, which will send you right back to the fairy tale part of the story. Chances are that to get to the castle, you will be crossing over Charles Bridge, which is another marvelous site to see in Prague, with its many statues keeping an eye on you.

Beer and Pork Knuckle Paradise

If you like beer, you will be in heaven when you get to Prague. It is no wonder that its citizens are the ones that drink the most beer per capita, in the world. Everyone can find the one that they prefer, brewed right there, inside the city limits. And if drinking it is not enough, you can even take a bath in it, thanks to a beer spa. Naturally, you can sip on one as well, as you are relaxing and nourishing your skin. But then again, it might be simpler to just order one with your pork knuckle, at the restaurant, which is definitely a match for the perfect Czech meal.
