20 Photos to Inspire Your Prague Trip

Prague is one of Europe’s great cities.  It’s scenic, charming, a little quirky, & exhibits some of the continent’s most stunning architecture.  But it’s also a really FUN city, filled with beer halls & rooftop bars serving up hearty fare for weary travelers!  A great delight is to sit in a sidewalk cafe by the Vltava River, which runs through the heart of town, & people-watch while enjoying views of Prague Castle ~ the major monument that looms large over the city.  Since photos always tell the story best, let’s take a look at “20 Photos to Inspire Your Prague Trip!”

Sunrise on Prague’s world-famous Charles Bridge.

One of my favorite hotels here is the Four Seasons Prague, which sits right on the river ~ & has both a rooftop restaurant, as well as a sidewalk cafe that gives you a perfect vantage point of the city’s skyline.

20 Photos to Inspire Your Prague Trip

This first round of photos is meant to give you a good overview of Prague.  The Vlatava River cuts the city in half, dividing it into East & West, New Town vs. Old Town.  The older section contains Prague Castle & many of the city’s oldest buildings, while newer restaurants & hotels tend to be on the east side of the river.

Walking Prague at sunset is a must…

Or take in the view from one of the city’s many rooftop bars…

While running around the city, my friend Tasha & I stumbled upon in the infamous “Leaning House” of Prague!

There are few things quite so enjoyable as getting delightfully lost in a new city.

I love the beautiful turquoise & orange spires found all over the city…

Stunning architecture in the Old Town.

And did you know that the city has cable cars?

Incredible Photos of Prague Castle

You can’t come to Prague & not visit Prague Castle.  It not only dominates the city’s skyline, but it’s a significant part of Czech culture & heritage.  Taking a guided tour of the complex will help you understand its importance that much better.

Prague Castle sits on a hill above the city, & is a fantastic spot to watch the sunset.

The castle complex takes up the entire left side of this photo, up on the hill.

Welcome to the Castle…by way of St. Vitus Cathedral, one of my favorite arched views.

Here are some final photos of Prague at some its most beautiful hours: sunset & sunrise.  But I found that, even during the day, the city’s bright orange-tiled roofs (which remind me a bit of Lisbon) & its turquoise-blue cathedral spires still photographed beautifully….

Strolling back down towards the city from Prague Castle…

Prague has a total of 18 bridges…& my friend & I tried to run across as many of them as we could! (I think we got to 8 : )

Sunset in Prague. If you’re wondering where you can get a view like this….go to the Four Seasons Prague!

Check prices at the Four Seasons in Prague ~ which looks directly across to Prague Castle & over the river….

Nighttime walks are also spectacular here…

Sunrise is the best time to see the Charles Bridge without people.

Goodbye, Prague…

After our Prague trip, we hopped on a train & headed south to Vienna ~ then on to Hungary’s beautiful capital of Budapest.  And we fell in love with both cities…which you can read more about below.
