Just by looking at it alone. you can already tell that Prague is home to a lot of historic structures. Possibly even more than you can count. So what's stopping you from spending an entire day visiting as many as you can? You'll neer find such beauty and history in any other city. A good many of these places add to the identity and character of not just the city, but of the country overall. They include the iconic Charles Bridge, the ornate Church of St. Nicholas, and the famous Prague Castle. Another structure, the Lennon Wall, is also a must-see, especially fans of the fallen Beatle.

What's wrong with just taking a stroll and seeing the sights on foot? A city like Prague, which is practically an entire symbol of nostalgia for old Europe, is often best explored on foot. From the cobblestone streets to the charming villas, there are parts of the city you won't get to see if you stick to riding a car or public transport. Explore the Czech capital on your own, get lost in the old-school beauty of it all, and you never know, you might even meet someone special along the way. You'll probably end up tired after but it all would have been worth it!

Speaking of nostalgia, there's another place you can go to and spend the day in that will really make you feel like you traveled back in time: the Old Town Square. Like the other activities, spending the day here is mostly a feast for the eyes, especially if you're privy to old-school styles of design, from Baroque to Rococo and everything in-between. In fact, if you're an artist, drawing this square might possibly be one of your best works. You can also take in the lively spirit of the city here, as the square is often crowded with a healthy mix of tourists and residents, most especially on weekends.

When you're in Prague, you shouldn't miss going to the Jewish Quarter. It's a devastatingly beautiful yet slightly poignant part of the city, especially since the Jewish community in the Czech capital has gotten smaller over the years. But here, you can still see the community's history, influence, and impact on the city. Beautiful monuments that capture both the liveliness and the tragedy that befall this community. See the stunning Spanish Synagogue, a majestic place of worship that's extremely colorful yet solemn at the same time. Or visit the Jewish cemetery, with its riveting gothic beauty that will take hold of your heart as you read the names on the graves.

Finally, another thing you can do is to take a foodie tour of Prague. Unbeknownst to many, the city is home to a lot of great restaurants and hidden gems, each with its own unique flavor and exciting tastes. You'll also see—and get to taste—different cuisines from around the world, further proving that Prague has the potential to be as global a city as other European capitals. But, of course, you won't find a scarcity in authentic Czech dishes here as well. They're arguably the most worthwhile culinary hotspots to go to, most especially since you won't find places like them anywhere else!
