Ania & Greg’s ADVENTURES

experience

“We are about to enter the narrowest street in Prague. I'm not sure if it's the narrowest in the world, but it's definitely a nightmare for anyone with claustrophobia. It's only about 50 cm wide. There is a one-way traffic controlled by lights and you can either wait for a green or go back up through the restaurant.”

experience

“We are now standing right beneath the very famous astronomical clock. It's hard to believe this incredible masterpiece has been keeping time since 14th. Every hour, crowds gather here to watch the medival procession of the 12 apostles, making it one of Prague's most iconic attractions.”

experience

“And if you want to see the astronomical clock from inside, you can also visit the old town hall. The basic admission is currently 350 C coronas per person. And it includes access to the tower where you can get a closer look at the 12 apostles and the historic interiors.”

experience

“And finally, we reached one of Prague's most famous landmarks, Charles Bridge. Built in the 14th century, it's the oldest surviving bridge in Prague. It's more than 600 years old. Tonight with the lights, the music and the voltava flowing beneath us, the bridge felt almost magical... Charles Bridge is lined with 30 statues and sculptures of saints added between the 17th and early 20th centuries. And of course, we had to join one of the Prague's most popular traditions, touch the statue of good luck, and apparently increase our chances of coming back one day.”

experience

“This magnificent building behind us is Prague Castel. According to the Guinness World Records, it's the largest ancient castle in the world. We bought our tickets through Get Your Guide and for the three of us, we paid 1350 Czech Coronas. That's 450 per person.”

experience

“Our first stop inside the castle was S Vitus Cathedral. We joined the queue and stepped inside. This is the interior of San Vitus Cathedral, the spiritual heart of the Czech state... Inside the stained glass windows are just as impressive as the Gothic architecture surrounding them. Several were created by important Czech artists, including Alons Muha.”

experience

“Then we went underground to explore the old alchemist's workshop. And down here, the atmosphere changed completely. The strange old instruments, mysterious bottles, and medival tools looked like they had been taken straight out of the wizard's story.”

experience

“On the way down, we stopped by Certofka, a small canal running through Campa. It almost feels like a little piece of Venice hidden in Prague.”

experience

“The wall that you can see behind me is a lenon wall. It's a symbol of freedom in Prague and people love taking photos here.”

experience

“And then we came across these rather unusual sculptures by Czech artist David Cherney. They're called the babies. Giant crawling infants with barcode faces.”

restaurant

“And for lunch, we went to Koslovna restaurant. We ordered three dishes. Anna got grilled chicken. Uber got fried chicken. And I went for a local dish. Goulash served with dumplings... Everything was absolutely delicious. Hubert had a beer while Anna and I went for Coke and water and we even ordered some beef tartar afterwards. The total came to 1145 choranas.”

experience

“Before heading back to the hotel, we made one last stop. David Churnney's famous moving sculpture of France Kafka.”

shopping

“Nas Maso is actually a butcher shop, but you can also order freshly prepared food here, including their famous burgers. Inside it feels more like a working butcher shop than typical restaurant... The burger was really good, but I have to admit it was definitely not even close to one of the best burgers in my life. Even though the meat quality and the ingredients quality in general was really good, but if you consider the price we paid for the region we are in, it's also not the cheapest burger we had in Prague.”

restaurant

“And now for late dinner, we went to Homra. It's a local place for local dishes and local prices... Allegedly some of the best fried cheese in price. We'll see. We'll see if it's true. The whole meal for the two of us, including drinks, came to 620 Czech Corona. The food was absolutely delicious. We recommend this place.”

outdoor adventure

“Another beautiful place in Prague that we wanted to see and that we are visiting now is Havlitzkov Sadi. And to be more precise, we are heading to Graovfka. And the best part, entry to the park is completely free. As soon as we entered, we found something we honestly didn't expect to see in the middle of Prague. These incredible rock formations with buildings and architectural details built directly into them. It almost reminded us of Capedokia, just in a completely different setting.”

hotel

“Grand Hotel International was built in the 1950s during the Communist era and is one of the most striking examples of socialist realism in the Czech Republic... From the original interiors to the architecture and details, the hotel feels like a little time capsule from another era... Our room was comfortable and surprisingly spacious for three of us... We paid just $88 per night for the room for all three of us, including breakfast.”

restaurant

“For the first dinner, we are heading to Cantina, which is apparently one of the nicest places to eat in Prague. It's in the old We'll see that building. It used to be a bank and now it's turned into really lovely place to eat... And the concept here is all about traditional Czech food served in a very casual way... Everything looked incredibly tempting... The total bill for three of us came out 2,14 coronas, and everything we tried was really delicious.”

experience

“We passed the entrance to the Mayan ruins, but we saved them for the last day. Day 5 | Driving to the Tulum ruins. Walking through the ruins of Tulum.”

experience

“Now we are visiting Esculura Van Alaloo. A massive sculpture from a wood. Just look at this. Just to give you some scale, this is how high I can reach with my hands. I'd say it's around 6 or 7 m tall. Van Aloo is one of Tulum's most recognizable landmarks. It symbolizes the connection between humans and nature, and it fits perfectly into the character of this place.”

restaurant

“Dinner at Mateo’s Mexican Grill”

experience

“Tulum is full of colors, murals, art, little details everywhere you look. This city really feels alive. ... Night walk through downtown Tulum”

restaurant

“And now we've stopped for lunch by Cenote Doss Ohos. I got myself fajitas and Anna has a burrito. We have to mention if you guys get here, you have to ask for a guy named Archie. He's incredible guy. He's very honest. We recommend him. The total bill came out 670 pesos which is around €33. It was really worth it.”

experience

“We rented our scooter from a local company here in Tulum. And the experience was great. No hidden costs. The scooter was in perfect condition. And Anton was super professional and really friendly.”

outdoor adventure

“We have arrived at Cenote Dos Ohos. The entrance fee here costs 800 pesos... Dos ohos is one of the largest and most famous cenot systems in this region of Mexico. ... For divers, this place is a dream.”

resort

“Day three in Tulum. And for the first time, we are having a breakfast right here at the hotel. Good morning everyone. Welcome to day three. We are in our hotel restaurant and finally came for breakfast here for the first time. I went for tacos. Anna chose eggs and we've got this incredible view.”

experience

“You've got a street markets, small shops, murals, and just a few kilometers away, luxury resorts and a beach clubs. That contrast is what defines this place. We are back already in the hotel zone. We parked our bikes and now we are going to the beach. The hotel zone has a completely different vibe.”

restaurant

“We are still in the hotel zone and we have decided to have a dinner here. Prices here are three to four times higher than in a town, but we are totally exhausted. For two burgers and fries, we paid almost €50. And for a can of cola with ice, €5.”

outdoor adventure

“And we've arrived to the next cenote. Cenote Tak Beha. It's literally just 1 minute away from Dosos. That's right, 200 m from the previous one. Entrance fee to this cenote per person is 350 pesos, which is around €17. Another beautiful cenote done. What do you think, Anna? I really liked it.”
