Day 1:

We bought a day pass (110 CZK per person per day) from our hotel front desk for each of our days in Prague. The pass allowed all 4 of us to travel together on tram and metro for unlimited trips. We started the day by taking the tram to Charles Bridge.

Standing on the Charles Bridge over Vltava river gives you a great view of the Prague Castle in the distance.

After spending an hour on the bridge looking around at different statues, we walked back towards the Old Town Square. We walked on narrow cobblestone streets through the Old Town.

The Old Town Square was very crowded especially around the Astronomical Clock, the oldest working clock in the world!!

After walking around in Old Town Square we walked to St. Nicholas Church nearby.

There was choir practice going on inside the church so we stayed for a little while to listen. After that we visited Havel’s Market. It is a long market with lots of souvenir and specialty stores on both sides. We ended up doing some souvenir shopping here.

Day 2:

We took the Number 22 tram to Prague Castle. There are 3 stops for reaching Prague Castle but after researching, I had found that Pohorelec stop was the closest with least amount of strenuous walking.

We actually did not go inside the Castle grounds due to the very long lines. After taking some pictures we walked down the hill towards Old Town.

Next we took the tram to Ujezed stop where the artistic and thought-provoking  “Memorial to the Victims of Communism” lies.

Next we took tram to Jirak Market. It is a farmers market which did not have many items of our interest so we did not spend that much time there.

We took the tram back to the very popular, busy center of Prague, the Wenceslas Square. By this time it had started to rain heavily so we did not stick around for long.

After lunch we decided to visit the Vysehrad Castle next to our hotel (Park Inn Prague). There are some steep stairs and it is a strenuous walk to reach the castle gardens at the top of the hill.

After wandering around the castle grounds for a couple of hours we went back to the hotel for some rest.

In the evening, we walked by the Vltava river next to the hotel where people were enjoying the late afternoon sun by the river.

After reaching the Charles Bridge we crossed it and took a tram to Ujezed station again. From there we took the funicular up to Petrin Hill.

We walked around Petrin Hill for about an hour and then took the funicular back down.

It was getting close to our departure time for train to Berlin so we had a quick lunch by the hotel and made our way to Prague Railway station.
