Travel destination popular things to do or visit and the best hotel in Praha 1
Some say that Charles Bridge never sleeps, and that may be true, unless you count the occasional snoring tourist on a midnight bench. You can try collecting all the legends attached to the bridge, though you might run out of daylight or notebook paper. The Astronomical Clock, it chimes on the hour, but if you blink you might miss it, and then you’ll have to wait—like an impatient cat—another sixty minutes. Locals claim the clock brings luck if you stand on one foot as it chimes. They might be joking, but you never know.
For those who wander in search of the best hotel in Praha 1, ignore the stars on the door and check the pillows instead. If the pillows are fluffy, you’re set. Breakfasts here can range from a simple pastry to a buffet that could feed a small army, or at least a very hungry family. Don’t be surprised if your map leads you into a courtyard that looks private but isn’t—some doors appear locked and are not, some locks are just for show. If you ask for directions, remember: the phrase ‘straight ahead’ means something different to everyone. And if you get lost, congrats, you’re now a local (sort of). Oh, the coins for trams, they are never enough, so keep some extra change jangling in your pocket, just in case.
