I am from a small family and when it comes to celebrating Christmas, we usually spend it travelling! It is one of the rare cases during the year that everyone has holidays, so what we usually plan is a trip for 10 days starting from Christmas and finishing just after the New Years Eve. This year we wanted to go to some place that would feel Christmas!
Barcelona is certainly one of my fav places in Europe, but when it comes to Christmas it is definitely not the place to feel the festive spirit! I mean..can you really feel the Christmas spirit when it gets up to 20 degrees outside?
So, we decided to go somewhere we haven´t been before and to make sure it is a place with a Christmas spirit! It was not easy to find a place that we all haven´t been to, so at the end we decided to go to Prague! We haven´t been there (well, my dad has, but he is always the one to compromise..sorry dad..I love you) and it is a place full of Christmas markets and potentially snow!
It was a great decision to spend Christmas in Prague! We absolutely loved the city. We were there for 4 nights, which I think is absolutely enough. The centre of Prague is not that big and its walking distance from one end to the other. However, spending 4 nights there gave us the chance to explore the city peacefully and to enjoy many glasses of mulled wine and Christmas carols at the Christmas markets!
You can find Christmas markets at pretty much every square in the
The Prague Castle – the architecture is impressive and the views from the top of the hill are breathtaking!
- Charles Bridge – it connects the two central parts of the city and has great views. It is perfect for a walk while exploring the two different parts of central Prague.
- The Prague astronomical clock – it is over 600 years old and its figures change every hour. On top of that it is situated at the main square, which you have to visit.
- The old town and its charming little streets, full of souvenir shops and
amazing bohemian crystal.
If you are visiting for a longer period there are of course other things to see and do too, but these are the must-see spots! An experience which I found quite nice was the retro cars which you can rent for a ride, you will see a pic below!
Another tip! If you are into crystal things, Prague will be like heaven for you! There are so many amazing items to buy. You can negotiate the price at the shop btw, just ask for a discount!
Also, important! If you want to be in the central area you have to book
Well, to sum up, everything in Prague was great!
