FREE THINGS TO DO IN PRAGUE 🇨🇿 …and why they’re significant! Prague has so much history and incredible architecture, you can walk to all of these sights in one day. They’re amazing free things to visit and all have great stories & facts about them! 📌 Prague Castle: The Prague Castle is the largest coherent castle complex in the WORLD! Here you can get incredible view over the whole city. You can walk around the castle grounds for free but if you want to go inside it’ll set you back around £10 📌 The Astronomical Clock: This can be found in the old town square. This medieval clock is 600 years old, and every hour between 9am-11pm there is a little display where people come out of the window (you’ll have to see it for yourself 😅). It’s definitely unique to watch and there is a lot of history and interesting legends about this clock. 📌 Charles Bridge: This bridge is a big attraction, surrounded by some incredible architecture and again an important landmark in Prague with such a deep history. It’s construction started in 1357, and it connected Prague castle and the old town and was an important trade route between Eastern and Western Europe 📌 Lennon Wall: Since the 1980s, this wall has been filled with John Lennon-inspired graffiti, lyrics from Beatles’ songs, and designs relating to local and global causes. I always love cities with street art and graffiti, it really tells a story and showcases the passion and soul behind what a city has been through 📌 Dancing house. This amazing piece of architecture is set on a property of great historical significance as it was actually bombed in WW2. You can go up to the 7th floor with a viewing platform if you purchase a drink from the bar but it’s really best to admire from the outside!

No need to buy tickets, just have some drinks upstairs I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Dancing House Praha, and I must say that it truly lives up to its reputation as one of Prague's most iconic architectural landmarks. This unique and unconventional building is a masterpiece of contemporary design and an absolute must-visit for anyone interested in architecture, art, or simply looking for a memorable experience in Prague. The Dancing House's design, envisioned by renowned architects Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić, is a striking contrast to the surrounding historic buildings of Prague. Its curvaceous and fluid forms stand out boldly against the traditional Baroque and Gothic structures, making it a true architectural gem. As I approached the Dancing House, I couldn't help but be captivated by its elegance and dynamic appearance. The glass and concrete façade seem to dance in harmony, earning the building its nickname. The flowing lines and asymmetrical shapes create a sense of movement and fluidity, which is a testament to Gehry's signature style. Upon entering, I was equally impressed by the interior spaces. The building houses various functions, including offices, a restaurant, and a gallery. The design seamlessly blends contemporary elements with a sense of warmth and sophistication. The use of natural light is particularly remarkable, as it floods the interior and accentuates the unique architectural features. One of the highlights of my visit was dining at the Dancing House's restaurant, Ginger & Fred. Located on the top floor, the restaurant offers panoramic views of Prague's skyline, including the Vltava River and Prague Castle. The combination of the breathtaking vistas and the delicious cuisine made for an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast or simply appreciate extraordinary design, the Dancing House Praha is a must-see attraction in Prague. Its innovative and thought-provoking design stands as a testament to the power of architecture to challenge convention and inspire awe. Make sure to bring your camera, as you'll want to capture the beauty of this architectural marvel from every angle. I highly recommend visiting the Dancing House Praha during your time in Prague. It's a testament to the city's vibrant artistic spirit and a true gem among its architectural wonders. Prepare to be amazed by the harmonious dance of art, design, and creativity that awaits you at this extraordinary landmark.
