My trip to Prague (CZ) - March 2026

I’m not much of a photographer, but I love sharing memories from my travels.

It was my first time in the Czech Republic, and I have to say we really enjoyed the four-day trip to Prague that my wife and I did.

As for activities, here’s what we did:

- City tour: There’s a lot to see; the architecture alone is impressive, and the many parks are also very pleasant.

- Prague Zoo: It’s very large—plan to spend the whole day exploring it from start to finish. Admission costs about $14 USD. The animals have plenty of space; they aren’t crammed into small cages, and you can tell they’re in good health.

- Traditional restaurants: Be careful here—there are many tourist traps. Keep in mind that a pint of Czech beer shouldn’t cost more than 80–100 CZK (US$4), and meals are also inexpensive in traditional restaurants; expect to pay around US$15–20 for two (a main course and a beer, for example).

- Prague’s Secret Alchemical Laboratories: A short but very fascinating tour, and very well explained. I’ve included a few photos of the place—it’s where alchemists of the time tried to turn lead into gold! The tour costs 200 CZK (US$9) per person, I believe, payable in cash only.

- Tour of the area around Prague Castle: Packed with tourists, but the views are magnificent, and the buildings are incredible.

Unfortunately, four days isn't very long, but if you get the chance to go, it's an inexpensive destination in Europe—hotels are cheap, and the cost of living there is affordable (the average monthly salary for locals is $1,100 USD).

Thanks for reading, and I hope the photos aren't too harsh on the eyes!
