This was a Christmas present from Joanne’s son Sean and it turned out to be Joanne’s fav place! We went in March so weren’t expecting decent weather but they had a mini heatwave for the first couple of days we were there which made it so much nicer. I’d known Prague was a very popular destination for years so it was a bit of a bucket list place for me and it didn’t disappoint. We stayed in Hotel International which was a bit communist era meets The Shining but it was fine! Lovely breakfast. Not so sure about dinner or Czech cuisine in general though!

We got through a lot of tourist stuff but highlights for me were the amazing, medieval Charles Bridge (where INXS recorded the video for “Never Tear Us Apart”), the Castle & Cathedral (insanely high and scary climb up the tower), the cool Astronomical clock (it comes alive every hour on the hour) and just strolling around the old town and counting the many spires! Other notable attractions were the Steel Art museum, the IAM Illusion Art museum and the Lumia Gallery. The old style trams were cool too!

Dining was hit and miss. We had a very poor meal in the fancy, expensive El Gaucho Argentinian steak house but probably one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in Gambero Rosso Italian.
