Things To Do in Prague

Anyone visiting Prague should never take a taxi. Try using the public transportation or an Uber because as soon as the taxi drivers realize that you are a foreigner, they will overcharge you and make you pay insane amounts of money. Another important thing to note is that exchanging money around the city could also make you lose lots of money. Do not ever exchange money in the streets! Those people don’t even give you actual real currency. You’ll be left with bank notes that are probably nonexistent and not Czech at all. It’s best to find an exchange office with no commission which isn’t as easy as it sounds. But Prague is a beautiful city and you’ll have an amazing experience should you ever visit, as long as you don’t find yourself entrapped in the hands of all the tourist scammers that lurk around the city.

Prague is a city of music, art, theatre, history, and beauty. My favorite part of the city is Mala strana. Its cobbled streets twist and wind their way up the hill revealing secluded courtyards, ivy-covered stone walls, tiny doors, statues, and ornate wall plaques. One can spend hours taking in the architecture thinking of the centuries through which the houses have survived, their occupants who witnessed momentous occasions both tragic and wonderful.

Prague, city, capital of the Czech Republic. The city has a rich architectural heritage that reflects both the uncertain currents of history in Bohemia and an urban life. Around the core is a mixed zone of industrial and residential areas, containing about half the city’s population and nearly half its jobs. Surrounding this area is the outer city development zone, and beyond this is yet another zone of development containing new industrial areas, parks and recreation areas, and sports facilities. There is an agricultural land and open countryside, where farms and market gardening projects satisfy Prague’s demand for food. There is a small Slovak community, but the overwhelming majority of residents are Czechs. Industry is the largest employer, followed by commerce, construction, education, culture, administration, and transport and communications. Prague has a renowned and active musical life, which reaches a high point each year in the internationally known spring music festival. There are also many museums and galleries, and a Palace of Culture was completed in 1981. The stock market opened for the first time since World War II, the city was modernized, and it became a major tourist destination.
