Prague Magic | A Fairytale Adventure Through Old Town Alleys

🌟 My Slow-Travel Route: Old Town Square to Golden Lane Start at Old Town Square, where the smell of caramelized Trdelník (chimney cake) lures you to grinning vendors. 🧡The 600-year-old Astronomical Clock whirs to life on the hour, met with cheers from the crowd like a tiny festival. 🌈Turn onto Celetná Street—narrow, cobbled, and lined with Baroque houses, their flower-box windows swaying to violin music. Pure movie magic!🧡 🪴Detour through Týnská Lane to gawk at the Gothic twin towers of Týn Church, then stroll 20 minutes to Golden Lane. Its candy-colored cottages (especially Kafka’s blue No. 22) feel plucked from a story.🧡 🛍️ Hidden Shops: Old-World Treasures 🏜• Botanicus (Celetná Alley): A vintage apothecary stacked with hand-painted postcards, 🪴antique maps, and beeswax candles. 🏜The shopkeeper shared childhood tales of Prague as I picked postcards to mail friends—scrawling "Prague magic!" on them. 🏜• Knihkupectví Kafka: A tucked-away bookstore devoted to Kafka and Czech lit. 🪴Sip coffee in the reading nook; a local woman convinced me to read The Castle. 🪴• Manufaktura: Handmade wooden toys and lavender soap (€3!) in a folksy atelier. #GoldenLane #FairytalePrague #SlowTravel #CzechMagic
