This past weekend, my roommate and I travelled together to Prague. Upon our arrival, we checked into our hotel known as the Grand Bohemia and headed toBake Shop, a delicious pastry, sandwich, and salad place. We heard delicious reviews about this casual restaurant, and it unsurprisingly turned into our weekend spot. Next on the list, we walked towards Old Town Square, which was evidently the center of everything. There, you will find magnificent buildings and the Astronomical Clock, which rings every hour. It was fascinating to admire the medieval architecture that truly resembled a fantasy world, one far different than I have ever seen. We then made our way to the Charles Bridge, which was necessary to cross in order to see the notorious John Lennon Wall. We arrived at the wall around sunset, thus we decided to make our way there again in broad daylight the following morning. At around happy hour time, we sat at a cafe known as Follow Me, where we were shocked at how generous the glasses of wine were. Nearly two put us over edge, but we still had an appetite for James Dean, a diner where the waitresses are dressed up in character. Our first day in Prague was a huge success, hitting recommendation spots and touring until we could no longer feel our bones we were so cold.
Bake Shop lunch was a plate of flavored chicken and delicious fresh vegetables.
Where you would least expect it, the street sausage was the best.
On our second day, we again stopped at Bake Shop for a light bite and made our way to the Jewish Quarter. Although we were able to walk around this area, no tours were available on Saturday due to Shabbat. If you plan on traveling to Prague, I would highly recommend visiting this sight Friday before Shabbat. Next, we headed back to Old Town Square to eat some of the typical food including the street sausage. My roommate Melanie absolutely loved this, so we made sure to stop there multiple times. We spent a portion of our afternoon indulging in some of Prague’s known specialities including the Sausage, Hot Chocolate, Hot Wine and Sweet Bread. Feeling like it was time to burn a few calories off, we hiked up top to the Prague castle, which overlooked the entire city. This view was magnificent and I must admit the trek was worth it. Even better, we stopped at McDonald’s on the way down for the notorious fried cheese, which is as good as they say. It was interesting for me to visit Prague because just one year ago my boyfriend studied abroad there with CEA. I spoke to him prior to make sure I stopped by all of his favorite places, and having his recommendations made the trip a success. This trip was definitely one of our favorites, and I still cannot get over how picturesque and perfect this little place could be.
