Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of Europe’s most striking cities. I haven’t seen every corner of the continent, but Prague stood out to me immediately for its ornate, fairy-tale architecture. The mix of Gothic spires, baroque domes, and colorful old-town buildings gives the city a layered, storybook quality that feels both grand and intimate. It’s easy to see why Prague draws so many visitors, as its beauty is undeniable. We came to Prague as part of a trip through Central Europe, and it quickly became one of the highlights.

I started the morning early to depart Edinburgh at 6:45 am. My parents drove me to the Edinburgh airport, everything went smoothly, and I arrived in Prague at 10:00 am. From Prague Airport (PRG), I took Bus 119, which ends at Nádraží Veleslavín. From there, I transferred to the metro on Line A, the green line, toward the city center, getting off at Můstek.
Check-in at my hostel (Hostel Downtown) wasn’t until later in the day. So, I decided to wander around until it was time.
