Falling in Love with Prague

If you've ever wondered what it was like to live in a fairytale world, then I suggest you go to Prague. On our first night there, we went out to have dinner and what greeted us was the sight of the Prague Castle and Charles Bridge beautifully lit up. I felt like I was looking at the Disney Castle logo in real life. The architecture from the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque eras found in the city's structures are so beautiful that it's a gift to the world that these were preserved over time.

We were all quite unfamiliar with Czech food and culture so for dinner we wanted to try something that was native to the place. Luckily, we stumbled upon a gem that was Casserol as we were exploring the Old Town. They serve traditional Czech dishes with a modern twist. We had the pork knee with potato dumplings and croquettes, and the duck breast with wild broccoli. The food was exquisite, and our experience was made even better by the restaurant's elegant ambiance and the staff's warm hospitality. It was definitely one of the best meals I have ever had.

The next day, we headed out early to explore the city. First on our agenda was visiting the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague located at the Church of Our Lady Victorious. 

We then made our way to the Prague Castle which is the official residence of the Czech Republic's President. The climb going up was so steep that we almost gave up (you'll see the struggle in the vlog below) but it was totally worth it once you see the view of the city from the top. 

We definitely worked up an appetite after climbing the steps of the Prague Castle so we had some lunch at Malostranský Hostinec located just at the foot of the castle. I absolutely love outdoor dining on beautiful days in Europe, and that partnered with good food made for a great day. We had their Caesar Salad which had the chunkiest slices of bacon and chicken on a salad I've ever seen (which was a great thing), Goat's Cheese Salad, and an assortment of Grilled Sausages with fries. I'm seriously salivating right now just thinking about it. While walking to the Charles Bridge, we bought some Trdelnik for dessert which is a traditional Czech bread which you'll find everywhere in the city. Seriously, if you want to eat amazingly delicious food at reasonable prices, Prague is the place to be!

We ended our tour at one of the most iconic landmarks in Prague - the Charles Bridge. It dates back to the early 15th century and crosses the Vltava river. Not only is the bridge an architectural wonder for surviving to this day, you also get a scenic view of Prague when you're walking along it. 

I honestly didn't know much about Prague and didn't know what to expect from our trip there but it has surprised me in so many pleasant ways. From the spellbinding architecture to the incredible food, our Prague trip has easily become one of the best I've ever had.
