Winter Wonderland
If you choose to visit in the winter, you will be spoilt for things to do with your loved one! The Prague Christmas Market is one of the most famous and most popular in the whole of Europe and as one would often expect from a cold, Christmas market; roasted chestnuts, mulled wines and wooden stalls filled with a variety of potential gifts abound here. Tall pines trees are seemingly everywhere during the crisp, Christmas period and the smell of fir needles fill the air at every turn.
The aptly named Prague Castle is known for being one of the most intricate castles in the world and the original building oozes history with its build-date dating back to the 10th century. The castle is eerie yet enchanting, historic yet not ruinous and dark but romantic with its medieval architecture. No Prague city break is complete without an exploration of the Prague Castle!
