Me and my partner got the chance to visit Prague for 5 days last year and we fell in love with the place. Prague is by far our favourite European city we have visited so far. The culture of the place is amazing and the views in the city are out of this world. My favourite view of Prague has to be by the side of the Charles Bridge overlooking the river and the castle, breathtaking! There are plently of things to see and do in Prague and there were still things we wanted to do after 5 days. The main attractions which I would recommend are a wander around Wenceslas Square and a visit to the National museum overlooking Wenceslas Square. Do not forget to take your camera with you as you can get some great views from the steps of the National museum of Wenceslas Square. An absolute must whilst in Prague is a visit to the Old Town Square which has a really cultural atmosphere. The Tyn Church at the Old Town Square is really dramatic, especially if it is stormy, as it was when we were there. A visit to the Astonomical clockis worth it whilst you're at Old Town Square, as the clock is just off the old town square...just follow the crowds and you'll find it.

One of my favourite places in Prague was Kampa Island which is just off the Charles Bridge. This little island is such a quaint little place with adorable buildings. There is also a great park which you can sit in overlooking the river and just watch Prague pass you by.

If you have a bit of spare change, it is nice to have a boat ride down the Vltava river for nice views. To get even better views from high up over the city, get the funicular railway up Petrin Hill (or climb the hill if you are feeling particularly energetic) and then go up the Observation Tower on Petrin Hill.

For a lovely relaxing but explorative European break, head to Prague!

Summary: Head to Prague for a truely magical European break.
