🇨🇿4 nights and 5 days independent travel in Prague, Czech Republic #3 must-see tourist spots - Route recommendation!

I usually enjoy taking my time exploring, so I planned a 4-night, 5-day trip to Prague this time, but it ended up being incredibly hectic 😅
My flight to Prague arrived in the evening, so I actually only had 4 days. However, I had one day planned for a local excursion, so I ended up sweating and wandering around a lot for 3 days. Since it was supposed to rain on the last day, I planned to spend it at a cafe. So, I briskly walked from day one, hitting 30,000 steps a day and feeling like I've seen all the major tourist attractions. 😛
I'm going to share some of my favorite places I visited in Prague :)

📍Staroměstská radnice / Town hall / Old Town Hall

There are several places in Prague with great views, but my pick is #Old Town Hall!! Admission is half price before 10 AM, making it a great value for the view :) The discounted admission time changes to 10 AM in the summer and 11 AM in the winter. It's understandable because it adjusts to the sunrise, but it was also interesting.

#OldTownCityHall is right across Old Town Square from the accommodation. #OldTownCityHall is a very lively place, and just walking around it made me smile😆

#ClockTower was packed with people gathering to watch the apostles move every hour, but after 5 minutes(?), everyone dispersed. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ So the square felt less crowded during the day than I expected (but at night, it was always packed with people passing by...👀)

The buildings in front of City Hall were so colorful that it was fun to just sit quietly inside and watch the people passing by. ㅎㅎㅎ

📍Charles Bridge / Charles Bridge

#Charles Bridge is the bridge you have to cross to get from City Hall to Prague Castle! There's a certain romance to it, especially at night :) As the sun sets in the evening, street musicians play classical music. It's literally a #European sensibility, isn't it? Haha.

I heard the #ChimneyPancake shop right across Charles Bridge toward Prague Castle was delicious, so I chose the basic flavor and brought it to Charles Bridge to eat. But wait, a 🐝bee🐝 kept chasing my chimneypan, intent on eating it... It was so hard to eat! 🥲.

I've tried the chimneypan twice, and the shop always served it fresh and warm, so it was delicious. It was just a shame I couldn't finish it all because of the bees. ㅠ

📍Pražský hrad / Prague Castle / Prague Castle

#Pražský hrad. For first-time European travelers, it's a good idea to check out the different routes and choose a tour that suits your tastes. I've been to many palaces in other countries, and since the interiors are pretty similar anyway, I didn't bother going inside in Prague and just wandered around the outside. It was actually nice to skip the lines and quickly see what I wanted to see :)

The buildings had a refined exterior, yet with subtle decorations, they had a grand charm of their own. The cathedral was so large, it was hard to capture it all in one photo.

What I was most looking forward to here was the #view! Prague Castle sits high up on the ground, so I was thrilled with the panoramic view of Prague. People recommended the #PragueCastleStarbucks as a #photospot, so I went in, but the Starbucks itself was too small and it was difficult to capture a nice view from that corner. I personally wouldn't recommend it for photography purposes... Instead, I found a spot that was absolutely fantastic 😉

It's one of the restaurants high up on Prague Castle. I stumbled upon it and was blown away by the amazing view. 🤍 Sitting there, enjoying a drink, and gazing out at the Prague skyline is truly healing!

Travelers to Eastern Europe often make short stops in each city, so if you're only planning a day in Prague, following the route outlined above (Old Town Square - Old Town Hall - Charles Bridge - Prague Castle) will ensure you see all the key #tourist spots. ✨
