Prague: Fun Facts and Locations

August 31, 2022 by Jeremy

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. And if you weren’t yet, this may just convince you that it is time to head to this wonderful town in the Czech Republic, to discover what you have been missing all along.

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.

Home of the Original Astronomical Clock

If you are preparing your touring itinerary, you have certainly included passing in front of the astronomical clock, on your way to the Old Town Square. It is famous around the world for its beauty and mechanism. Back in the days, the town council had the creator blinded, so that he could never reproduce it anywhere else (Hanus Carolinum). However, that didn’t work too well. In fact, if you ever get to Seoul, in Korea, you may come across an identical version, in the streets of the Hongdae district. Not to be unfriendly with Seoul, which has many beautiful characteristics of its own, but the decor around the clock in Prague is much more spectacular. Not to mention that Prague still owns the original…

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.

My name is Jeremy and I used to be a pretty high-up chef in New York City. I worked at a few high scale restaurants and loved it for many years. But then it began to feel like something was missing. After a short trip to Thailand, I knew what I had to do.

I came back to NYC, gave my work notice, packed up and headed out to the road. Since 2015, I've been backpacking around the world (and eating everything!!!). Thankfully with all the walking I do traveling, I've only gained a few pounds hahaha. Read More…

Final word on blackberry cobbler: biscuit recipe matters! Needs rich/dry dough to withstand wet filling and crisp. http://www.seriouseats.com/2017/08/how-to-make-the-best-blackberry-cobbler.html
