Strolling through Prague, immersing yourself in time
During this trip to Europe, Prague's architecture really attracted me, with various architectural styles from Romanesque to ultra-modernism, rich variations in building tops, and gorgeous colors. There is also the song "Prague Square" by Jolin Tsai. It has always been a perfect dream to sit by the Old Town Square, drink a cup of coffee, listen to the sound of the ancient astronomical clock, and experience the charm and romance of this city. What touched my heart the most was the beautiful pictures of Prague, which are very charming whether it is day, dusk or night.
🌟Must-visit attractions:
1⃣️Prague Castle: undoubtedly the most eye-catching. It stands quietly on the west bank of the Vltava River like a weathered giant, attracting tourists from all over the world with its majestic figure and rich historical heritage. Every step in Prague Castle is like a conversation with history. Every brick, every blade of grass, and every tree here carries countless stories and memories. It has witnessed the rise and fall, glory and disgrace of the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the development and changes of the city of Prague.
2⃣️Prague Old Square: The moment you step in, it feels like you are gently pushed into an ancient oil painting. Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance buildings are scattered around the square, with spires, carvings and colored glaze, which complement each other and are magnificent. The ancient astronomical clock, like a wise man who has insight into the world, stands quietly on the outer wall of the old town hall. The melodious bell sounds echoed in the square for a long time. That sound, carrying the weight of history, strikes the hearts of tourists every time, allowing people to truly feel the vicissitudes and glory of this city over thousands of years, and they are reluctant to leave for a long time.
3⃣️Charles Bridge: This ancient stone bridge across the Vltava River carries hundreds of years of historical memory, connecting the city's past and present. It is a must-visit place. The most eye-catching thing on the bridge is the exquisite sculptures. They are neatly arranged along both sides of the bridge, and each one has a unique shape and profound meaning.

🚉Transportation Guide: The main airport in Prague is Vaclav Havel Prague International Airport, which is divided into two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1 takes off and lands flights to non-Schengen countries, and Terminal 2 takes off and lands flights to Schengen countries. The airport has a taxi waiting area. Mini buses are operated by CEDAZ. There are also buses 119, 254, etc. You can ask at the information desk after getting off the plane. You can walk in the city and hop on and off the tram at the power plant, which is very convenient.
🛏Hotel Guide: I stayed at Ambassador Zlata Husa hotel. The hotel has a very advantageous location, right on the pedestrian street, with convenient transportation. It is 100 meters away from the subway entrance, and there is a shopping street outside. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Old Town Square. The room is European style, very spacious, well-equipped, with a super large bathroom and good hygiene. The bar has free hot water and a free drink. Although it is on the street, our room is not a street view room, so it is quite quiet. There are many Chinese tourists staying here, so please pay attention to safety when settling at the front desk. This is a very cost-effective hotel during the trip to Europe.
