Worth the visit and purchase of tickets. To see some of the main highlights, you have to purchase a ticket. I recommend using the app to purchase online and get the ticket you don’t need to collect because of the lines at the ticket booths and collection areas.
Prague Castle is divided into four parts, including the Cathedral of St. Vit, the Old Palace, the Basilica of St. George and the Golden Lane. Tickets are required to enter, and can also be combined, which is also the seat of the Czech presidential palace. The Cathedral of Saint Vit is a typical Gothic building with paintings and stained glass on the walls depicting many allusions, including works by the famous Czech painter Musha. Various chapels within the church have their own characteristics. It is also a cemetery, with the remains of bishops or bohemian rulers buried under the slabs. The old palace was a palace built in the 14th century, and the golden lane is a small alchemy street where Kafka rented. The observation deck near the exit offers panoramic views of Prague's Old Town.

Walked here on the way to Prague Castle. it has 30 beautifully sculpted religious statues that have been there since the 17th century. Went both in the evening and morning and preferred our morning visit.
Beautiful scenery, it is almost unable to miss this bridge as you walk around Prague. It’s low season but still full of tourists, it makes it harder to take good pictures but definitely worth a visit. Keep the best scene in your memory.

A good check-in spot. You can overlook the whole Prague and various buildings from the top of the tower. There are not many people in the morning. It is a worthwhile attraction and a representative building.
The astronomical clock looks very precise and beautiful from the outside, and it is also amazing from the inside. I walked along the spiral ramp for a long time, and finally walked up the narrow iron stairs to reach the top. I could overlook the entire Prague Old Town Square. It was very beautiful. I could take pictures everywhere and check in this beautiful city.

The Old Town Hall in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is one of the city's most visited monuments and is located in the Old Town Square. The tower of the Old Town Hall, the tallest in the medieval city, was completed in 1364 and has remained largely unchanged since then. The most famous feature of the Town Hall is the Astronomical Clock, which was built in the 1400s.
The Old Town Hall was built in 1338 as a symbol of Prague's first city autonomy. The Gothic tower was completed in 1364 and has a cloister from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the old town.

Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam is beautifully preserved and well organized for visitors. The one-way route and included audio guide make it easy to follow the story, though it also means you should take your time—once you pass a room, you can’t return. Tickets are timed and sell out quickly, so booking in advance is strongly recommended.Beyond the interiors, the gardens are vast and lovely, with terraces, fountains, and paths perfect for an afternoon stroll. If time allows, don’t miss the Neues Palais (New Palace) at the far end of the park for a striking contrast in scale and style. Altogether, it’s one of the most rewarding cultural experiences near Berlin.
If you travel to Germany, you must come to this palace, one of Germany's famous Mingsheng, the palace environment is vast, the garden form is beautiful, the palace is splendid and magnificent, it is indeed a good place for vacation!

It is worth going. Buy tickets in advance. If you cannot make an appointment for a suitable time slot, choose the VR project and the entry time is not restricted. Three people must pay at least one VR fee.
What a fascinating place. An absolute favourite. Beware though that the place gets crowded all the time. Might need like an hour or two to get in. As for the activity, you could easily spend the whole day if you take your time and go through details. But it's a pity, the place gets lot of visitors. Also there is a restaurant inside with affordable meals.

The Dancing House, also known as the "Fred and Ginger House", is named after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, a metaphor for a pair of dancers. The Dancing House stands out among the Neo-Baroque, Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings. It is a very famous and representative building in Prague. The Dancing House is also known as the "Drunken House".
The dancing house is also a very uniquely designed building. The exterior of the house has a very special shape. The entire house is not large, and you can see some very simple things. The style here is also quite distinctive. You can also look around the house.

The boat tour was sensational, very well-organized, and features an audio guide in many languages. It passes by several tourist attractions, and the landscapes are beautiful – boat tour in Prague.
The Vltava River is the longest river in the Czech Republic, with a total length of 435 kilometers. It is the mother river of the Czech Republic. The entire river divides Prague into two parts, with the Old City on the left bank and Castle Hill on the right bank. Walking along the Vltava River, you can enjoy the scenery of the medieval ancient cities on both sides.
Fortunately, a boat trip on the Vltava River was arranged during this trip, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of Prague from a different perspective. Board the cruise ship at the Chev Bridge pier along the river in the city center. The 1-hour boat ride passes 5 cross-river bridges, including Prague's most famous Charles Bridge, and experience a letter written by the Czech novelist Franz Kafka to his girlfriend Milena. The letter said: What I like best is rowing my boat up the Vltava River, then lying on my back in the boat and going down the river, admiring the different forms of bridges...
Of course, it's not a boat now, you can have the same feeling on a cruise ship.

The church is very large and looks majestic from a distance. It stands right in the center of the Old Town Square. I went in for a walk in the evening. There weren't many tourists, but I spent a long time looking for the gate, which was behind a restaurant.
Before we even entered the door, we were attracted by the glittering windows, clocks and steeples in front of the church. The church is elegant and spacious. The tomb of St. John Nepomuk is made of pure silver. It is said that 20 tons of silver were used. This tomb, which is entirely in the shape of sculptures, is more like a work of art. It is said that his holy bones have not decayed to this day. The large stained glass windows on the large windows of the west door were also made by masters and are considered to be the pinnacle of art. The Gothic golden tower altar of the sacrament, which is inlaid with bright gold, has a lot of historical art on it. If you look closely, you will find that there are many exquisite carvings in the church, whether they are stone carvings, wood carvings, or even gold and silver carvings. They are almost all over the church. Even the golden ornaments on the outdoor statues are still shining with golden light.
