The best way I can describe Prague is imagine there is a white canvas and all of the best painters in the world, in the history of humanity, came together and painted a masterpiece... that's Prague. Because really this city is a work of art! Every angle is mesmerizing. At any point in time you will be blown away by the beauty that surrounds you.
I got really lucky too. On my first day in Prague, the skies cleared and the sun was out, which is rare during winter days. I got to see the city in the morning as the sun was rising, in the afternoon during its hectic hours, and during sunset, which reveled to me why this city is often praised in lovers' stories. Truly, truly beautiful.

I have to say, what made my stay in Prague most memorable was my discovery of the super cool free walking tours by Sandemans. I normally don't like tours. I find them boring and I get impatient. I always prefer to explore on my own, but this tour, my gosh, these guys are incredible. They are all volunteers (which means they don't get paid i.e., they only do it because they love it!). I was lucky (again!) by landing the awesomest tour guide ever. His name is Declan he is Irish and literally looks and talks like a pirate. It was a 3 hour tour that felt as if I was sitting in grandmas lap listening to stories of when the world was a different place. We learned the history of Prague while walking its streets, we laughed, we experienced... it was pretty awesome. He navigated us through the Old Town, the Jewish quarter, the entrance of Charles Bridge among many other places. In fact I loved them so much that later that day I decided to do a beer tour of Prague with them. For those of you that travel alone... this is a gem! For only 12 euros (student discount) they took us to four different breweries and served us 3 free beers. I got to taste some of the best Pilsner I have ever tasted in my life. One of the places (name escapes me, sorry!) their Pils was so fresh made 4 days before, no preservatives, uber good!!! During the walking tour I also got to meet a really nice girl Brianna from Canada, since we were both travelling alone we decided to stick together for the remainder of the day. We visited a castle nearby and the dancing house and met later that day for the beer tour. Great meeting you Brianna! I also met another amazing gal from the states, Eryn. Her and I meet on our way to Budapest but later in our travels we got to meet again on my last night in Prague. We ventured to a local bar on a different district where most Czech students hangout, and there we literally shared a sample of 12 0,3 L beers. Pretty delish tho not nearly as good as the ones I tried on the beer tour.
I must say Prague is a beautiful place definitely worth visiting again... preferably with a love one ;)
