3 Impressive Sights of Prague

Your Prague airport shuttle will give you a brief introduction of sorts to the city itself. But once you are settled into your accommodation you will find there is a wide variety of attractions to appreciate. Here are some of the best.

The Castle

Lit up at night and looking impressive throughout each and every day, Prague Castle is home to the President of the country. It is well over 1,000 years old, which makes it worth seeing in itself, but it is comprised of several buildings, including churches and palaces, so do set aside the entire day to look round. The gardens alone provide many opportunities to get out for some fresh air while exploring the surrounds of the castle. The Garden on the Ramparts is particularly worth seeing.

Old Town Square

For sheer ambience, you can’t beat the Old Town Square. Even if your Prague airport shuttle goes nowhere near it, you must seek it out to make sure you explore it for yourself. You’ll want to visit this square for several reasons, the first being that the third attraction on our list can be found here. Aside from this you will get a feel of what the city was like several hundred years ago, since many of the buildings here are of that age. The best way to soak up the atmosphere is to wander into one of the cafes, order a refreshing coffee and to grab a table outside. It gives you the chance to appreciate your surroundings in a relaxed and unhurried way.

The Astronomical Clock

We know what you’re thinking: why go all the way to Prague to see a clock? Well, this is no ordinary clock. It is famous throughout the world and dates all the way back to medieval times. It still works, too, which makes it the oldest clock in the world that hasn’t broken down since its creation (in 1410, in case you were wondering). This 600-year-old clock is is well worth seeing, so you should definitely add it to your list of sights to see. Your Prague airport shuttle might take you nearby but do go back for a closer look if you can.

The journey you make to your accommodation in your Prague airport shuttle is but the beginning of your opportunity to explore the city in full. While you won’t see all of the delights it has to offer, you should ensure the ones above are always included on your list. They provide some insight into the magnificent history of this wonderful city.
