Apartment in Prague
Haven’t been to Prague? "But it’s so beautiful!"... You’ll hear this from students, relatives, and coworkers. And it’s true. The Czech capital is a top capital among the top ones, for many reasons.
Prague is a sunrise over Charles Bridge. Prague is the Old Town and a towering castle. Prague is remembering Kafka and his stories or dreaming of animated worlds. Synagogues, a Jewish cemetery, and St. Vitus Cathedral... Prague is good beer (or beers) and a must-visit city.
"From the taste of its beer to the charm of its streets, Prague is one of Europe’s gems."
Prague, a city rich in history and with invaluable cultural heritage, is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in all of Europe. Moreover, it’s unanimously considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Located on the banks of the Vltava River, Prague stands out for its palaces, churches, and squares, with a historic center that has been declared a World Heritage Site. Walking through Prague is a privilege and an unforgettable experience, with landmarks such as Charles Bridge, Strahov Monastery, or the Church of Our Lady before Týn. For anyone wanting to enjoy a few days of tourism in Prague, comfortably settled in the city center and within walking distance of its monuments and historic sites, the best solution is to rent an apartment like those offered by Apartum.
Prague’s history is revealed in its architecture, a witness to past centuries, with buildings as ancient as Prague Castle, dating back to the 9th century. It houses St. Vitus Cathedral, the Golden Lane and Alchemy (where the famous writer Franz Kafka lived for years), and the Chapel of the Holy Cross. In the same castle, you can visit the Lobkowicz Palace or the Black Tower. As you can see, Prague is a city with countless attractions for art, history, and culture lovers. But it’s also a city with a vibrant university life, filled with enticing leisure and entertainment options in its bars and restaurants: all within a magical setting that combines history and modernity with stunning architecture.
With Apartum, you can rent a comfortable apartment in Prague’s best areas, staying just steps away from its points of interest. Among them, no doubt, are also the museums: the National Museum, located in Wenceslas Square, with its Neo-Renaissance architecture; or the Jewish Museum, with its historic synagogues and artistic heritage. Music lovers can visit Mozart’s House, the former residence of this universal genius. And, of course, it’s worth strolling through the New Town, with picturesque buildings like the Dancing House.
Strangely shaped rooftops, castles, cathedrals, and even a synagogue... Prague marinates cheese and bakes it while the river waits romantically in every season of the year. Attention, autumn lovers!
But the flavors of Prague go beyond its famous (and delicious) beer. Don’t expect to lose weight if you want to try traditional cuisine; its famous dumplings, potatoes, or fried cheese, some of its stars, are not exactly light meals.
What’s clear is that you can’t miss a goulash, a Hungarian dish that’s also popular in the Czech Republic, fruit pastries, or cheap snacks made to pair with beer. And yes, beer is number one.
What about wine? If you’re looking to try local wine, the kind produced in the Moravia region should be on your list.
A hub of culture, artists, writers, and filmmakers... Prague is famous for many things. One of them, undoubtedly, is Kafka and its other illustrious figures. But there’s more.
Prague is a walk along the Vltava River, a summer afternoon soaking up the sun in its parks, and the music of the Spring Festival. But Prague is also a passion for ice hockey and even a curious museum of sexual gadgets. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a spectacle for which you’ll need more than just two eyes. What you won’t need is a watch: look up, and the Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square will speak to you, always grand.
Gems like the quirky Dancing House will introduce you to a city that has rightly earned its reputation as a jewel among visitors. And speaking of gems, nothing beats a Bohemian crystal as a souvenir... but watch out not to break it!
Prague has charm, attractions, and more than a few secrets. All it takes is a stroll to discover buildings like the Dancing House and wonder what might lie behind what we see with our eyes.
The Dancing House: A house inspired by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers: the Dancing House is more than just a quirky building, and its homage to these dance legends can be found in the restaurant on its top floor.
Beer! More beer than anywhere else? Having the record or not is secondary. But the fact that the average person here drinks over half a liter of beer per day says a lot about the local love for it.
Stones with Meaning: The first stone of the famous Charles Bridge wasn’t laid on just any day but at 5:31 AM on July 9, 1357, all due to Charles IV’s numerological beliefs.
The World’s Largest Castle: That’s what they say. The truth is, it’s enormous.
Babies Climbing Towers: Take a look at its TV tower, and you’ll see David Černý’s quirky climbing babies.
Strolling among tourists on Charles Bridge; climbing up and down the castle, shopping for family souvenirs, and relaxing with one (or two) great beers. Prague is a top destination, and its historic center is spectacular.
Walking on an autumn morning along the river and feeling Prague’s colors, the cold, and the mist. Returning in spring and hearing the music of its festivals... Prague enchants in both cold and warmth: from Old Town Square to the Church of Our Lady before Týn, attractions appear on every corner. The only risk? Overloading your camera’s memory card.
Prague is a fantasy world, with puppets in shop windows and art in museums. Prague is a few pints of great beer in its taverns. Prague is the capital of a country that was once bigger and the birthplace of Kafka and other unpronounceable surnames.
