Exploring Prague
This morning, we hopped on the tram into the heart of Prague, ready to make the most of our last day in the city. The town was busier than we’d expected for the time of year, but the buzz of commuters and tourists only added to the city’s lively atmosphere.
We started our day wandering through the Old Town, surrounded by stunning, majestic buildings that seemed to require our attention at every turn beautiful colours and artworks seem to go on as far as you can see. Of course, we had to stop by the Astronomical Clock a true piece of history and craftsmanship, though I think the charm of the square itself might have been the real highlight (despite the Xmas markets being packed away!
From there, we decided to check out the Museum of Senses. The mirror maze, upside-down room, and wonky floor had us all laughing, and they were definitely the standout parts of the experience. That said, it was over quicker than we’d hoped, and the museum didn’t offer much beyond those highlights. Still, the we enjoyed it, and it was a nice way to break up the day.
After lunch, Georgia and I managed to squeeze in some more ice skating, which was a fantastic surprise. It’s such a fun way to spend time together, and I love seeing her confidence on the ice grow with every attempt. Meanwhile, Dotty wasn’t feeling 100%—a bit of Calpol and some downtime helped, but we kept things at a relaxed pace for the rest of the day.





We strolled through the town towards Charles Bridge, soaking up the atmosphere as we went. A nearby play area gave them a chance to burn off some energy while Dotty didn’t know if she should play or sulk.
On our way back, we stopped by the Christmas markets, which were in the process of packing up. It was bittersweet while it was a little sad to see the festive stalls being dismantled, we still managed to enjoy a final treat. Ali tried honey wine (safe to say it won’t be making her favourites list!), and we grabbed a chimney cake. While tasty, I still think it’s a bit overhyped, but the kids loved it, so that’s what matters.
Our day ended with a tram ride back home, reflecting on everything we’d seen and done. Sadly, the funicular up the hill was closed for repairs, and we didn’t get a chance to visit the observation tower for those sweeping views of the city. But that just gives us more reason to return.
Prague has been an absolute delight it is majestic, vibrant, and full of surprises. It’s firmly on our “would visit again” list, and with so much left to explore, we know another trip would be just as memorable. For now, though, we’re saying goodbye, already looking forward to another time… maybe.
Tomorrow we will stop by the castle on the way out before heading for the hills!
With beautiful building, some impromptu ice skating and historic landmarks, Prague has something for every traveller. If you’re planning your own trip, don’t miss our Travel Tips Page for advice to help you make the most of your visit!
