Being a Tourist in Empty Prague

Last summer, when the spring lockdown temporarily lifted, we engaged in a bit of an ‘empty Prague tourism.’ It’s surprising how little I get to see the city’s historical parts — I mostly avoid them because they are full of tourists. Prague is wonderful (so I understand that people want to see it), and the distinctive landmarks like Charles Bridge or Old Town Square are usually packed. And so that’s where we decided to go. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*RAQXQ7EjlaKIg7RqDIXNeg.jpeg" style="height:525px; width:700px" /> (Almost) empty Charles Bridge!

With its maze of tiny streets and an old watermill, it’s one of my favorite places in Prague. We didn’t go as far as the famous Lennon wall, but we enjoyed the poetry booth on the edge of the park instead. This invention is one of the indigenous ideas of Ondrej Kobza, who is also behind the Prague street piano initiative and is always looking for ways to make the city more interesting. Needless to say, I am a fan. <a href="https://medium.com/world-travelers-blog/being-a-tourist-in-empty-prague-4c3104f5f92e">Click Here</a>
