Golden City in Europe

Are you ready to learn about a golden city in Europe??

It's not made out of gold, but in the past was one of the richest. Do you know which one it is??

It is Prague, the capital of Czechia.

Picture this: cobblestone streets winding through centuries-old architecture, secret gardens tucked away behind ancient walls, and hidden cafes serving up the perfect cup of joe😀 That's the vibe you'll find in Prague.

Take your time to admire the intricate facades of historic landmarks like St. Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle – after all, there's no rush in this city.

Feeling hungry?
Wanna eat?
No????
Believe after the whole day of walking you will want to grab a bite😁

Head to one of Prague's quirky eateries or street food markets for a taste of local cuisine. From hearty Czech classics like svíčková and knedlíky to street snacks like trdelník, there's something to satisfy the craving. And don't forget to wash it all down with a refreshing pint of Czech beer.



After refueling, why not escape the hustle and bustle of the city and retreat to one of Prague's hidden oases? Explore the lush gardens of Petřín Hill or seek out the tranquil Vojan Gardens. Take a deep breath, feel the sun on your skin, and let all your worries melt away.

And speaking of breathtaking views, let me share a memorable experience I had with my friends. We climbed to the top of a church tower with my local friend, who knows all the best spots in Prague. The view from the hill was absolutely amazing, but I have to admit, it was also funny and a bit scary at the same time. Nonetheless, it was an adventure we'll never forget!

As evening falls, embrace the magical ambiance of Prague's nightlife scene. Head to one of the city's rooftop bars for panoramic views of the skyline or seek out a cozy jazz club for an intimate evening of live music.

When it's time to call it a day, rest your head at one of Prague's boutique hotels or cozy guesthouses. Unwind in a charming room overlooking the city or pamper yourself with a relaxing spa treatment – you deserve it.

Or if you are like me and on a budget you can just stay at hostel, and they are actually nice. I recommend Plus Prague😁


So, what are you waiting for?
Let Prague work its magic on you – you won't regret it!
Till the next time
With Love
TP💗

Icy Day

Basketball, football, volleyball, handball, swimming, tennis. Am I forgetting something?? Yes, if you're in Czechia, you should definitely mention HOCKEY!!!!! I didn't know this, but apparently, they love it. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan. While I'm familiar with the NFL and we have a hockey league in my home country, I've never really watched it. So, before the game, I texted my friend to explain the rules.  Her perfect description?  "The black thing needs to go into the goal" 😂 We ended up losing 2:5, although we led 2:0 in the first 20 minutes. But that's not what's important; it's the atmosphere and Czech attitude towards the game that counts. As we walked from the train station to the winter stadium, we noticed groups of people wearing red jerseys, showing remarkable unity. Once inside, we headed straight for Czech first aid - BEER. Then, we easily found our seats, the fifth row in the middle. The stadium's view was stunning (re...

Let's begin :)

Hey there, fellow travelers! Did you know that students in the European Union have some awesome opportunities to explore new places? 🚀✈ You're probably familiar with the Erasmus+ exchanges available to all EU students, right? Well, I recently decided to dive into the adventure myself. Despite having experienced an exchange before, this time I'm venturing into uncharted territory – the Czech Republic, or as it's officially called now, Czechia. While Prague might be the first city that comes to mind, there's so much more to discover. I personally choose the gorgeous city, full of history, art, architecture, culture, tradition, and all the other positive adjectives that I cannot think of right now. It is located in the southeastern part of the country, right between Brno and Ostrava. It is the 6th largest city in Czech, with around 100,000 inhabitants.  Do you know it?  It is called Olomouc😀  If you have no idea about it. I will tell you something about it. Olomouc often...

The Mith, the Man, the Legend....

Quick, what is the first thought when you hear Metamorphosis??? No, not the song, that is super popular these days🤦 Your first association might be the OG - Ovid's Metamorphosis or even Shawn's Pygmalion if you love Victorian Literature😁 Well...not if you are Czech. Then your first association will be Kafka's bizarre Metamorphosis. Yea, THE Kafka's work😁 Imagine:  When you wake up in the morning, you probably have breakfast, a shower, and take a s... Now, your name is Gregor Samsa, traveling salesman, you wake up as a gigantic insect. Yeah, that happened to the main character in the work. Kafka didn't take any time to joke around, he gave us a big pile of WTF from the start. Now, you might think waking up as a bug would be cause for alarm, but Gregor takes it all in stride. Well, as much as one can when you've sprouted extra legs overnight. The magic begins when Gregor's family discovers his creepy-crawly makeover. Let's just say family breakfast take...

Charms of Moravia's Grandmother

  What a title, right? Are you curious? 😁 No doubt you're wondering, who the heck is Moravia, right? 😂 Well, it's a part of Czechia, of course. Czechia is divided into three major regions with interesting names: Bohemia - named after the tribes who inhabited it (the Romans named it and the name stuck) Moravia - named after the Morava River (despite its less-than-pleasant brown color 😅) Silesia - named after the mountain and river (surprise, surprise 😂) And now, the name of the grandmother is... Opava! 😲😲 Yes, you heard it right. Opava is the grandmother of Czech Silesia. In her youth, she was in good health and was the largest and most important city in Czechia, but now her granddaughter Ostrava has taken her place. Nevertheless, Opava is still a somewhat important and sizable city with 55,000 inhabitants. Seriously, what's there to see here? I would recommend visiting one of the parks. There are so many of them, it's hard to miss one. My personal favorite is the ...

National Treasure in Czechia

  Jeseniky is simply amazing. Wait a minute...YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ARE JESENIKY. Shame on you 😂 It is a national park in Checkia, and let me tell you it is gorgeous.  You may asked what to do there right? Well if you like hiking and are not in the Lebron James condition, you are in luck. The mountains or rather hills are not very steep and easily walkable by foot. On the other hand, if you are a fan of winter sports, you may consider going on a ski trip in the winter months.  I recommend managing your booking in one of the villages, such as Vapenna, because of the lower cost, accessibility by train or car, and necessary infrastructure (shops, bars...). If you are going to spend a few days here I recommend visiting a nearby place called Black Waters, yes that is the literal name of the place. It got its name after the typical colour of the water, which is actually seen as black, due to the soil. Here you can find numerous lakes, that usually have places to sit and you can ...
