5 Places to go in Prague
It’s October, which means I’ve been in Prague for over a month! It’s so crazy to think about it. While I spent three weekends traveling, my time in Prague was absolutely magical. There are so many exciting and surreal sights to see. However, aside from the popular tourist spots, there are many hidden gems here in Prague.
Here are five spots you must see in Prague:

| A close up of the John Lennon Wall |
1. John Lennon Wall
Obviously, the infamous John Lennon Wall is a must see here in Prague. With its colorful and soothing atmosphere, there is actually more to see than just the wall. If you go at the right time, you will see musicians playing right in front of the wall, usually a guitarist. With the music playing in the background of this amazing site, you won’t regret your visit to the John Lennon Wall.

| Memorial to the victims of communism on the hill of Pentrîn. |
2. Petrin Hill
Petrîn Hill is definitely a hidden gem in my book. Located a short walk from my apartment, the hill has beautiful flowers and even a moving memorial climbing up its steps. The memorial pays tribute to the victims of communism and I highly recommend visiting it.

| Stunning view of St. Vitus Cathedral |
3. Prague Castle
With its gigantic property, there is certainly a lot to see on the grounds of Prague Castle. I recently visited the estate and was blown away not only by the castle itself, but also by St. Vitus Cathedral which is a short walk from the castle. Its architecture made this trip interesting, making it a must on my list.

| Ride a pedal boat on the Vtlava River |
4. Vtlava River
No matter where you are in the Vtlava River area, the view is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend embracing the river in a paddle boat to get an unforgettable perspective of the Charles Bridge. You can even prepare a good picnic; It’s really worth it.

| Bubble-man in the Old Town Square |
5. Old Town Square
Last, but not least, is the Old Town Square. Although this is by far the most touristic place in Prague, it is still a must-see. There’s so much to do: get a Trdlnek, shop and even see the infamous Astronomical Clock. There’s always a guy with his bubble wand, so be sure to take a good shot. Old Town Square will not let you down.
There is obviously much more to see than these five flagship spots; so get out, explore and enjoy all that Prague has to offer.
