There are so many main attractions in Prague, it’s quite difficult to whittle them down to just a few. I dare say there’s a top 10 but Prague’s …
I’d take nature over the city any day of the week! While based in Prague for a week, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to take a short road trip. Where better to head than the far north of the country? I was going hiking in Bohemian Switzerland National Park. And let me tell you, it’s by …
Prague’s medieval Astronomical Clock is more than 6oo years old! Most noteworthy, it’s the oldest clock in the world still ticking away the hours!
