1. St. Nicholas Church: A Baroque Masterpiece

Now, St. Nicholas Church, right in the heart of Malá Strana, isn’t your ordinary church. Its massive dome is, just a little, more than noticeable on the Prague skyline, kind of shouting its importance. It is, in a way, a prime example of Baroque architecture, you know; you might find yourself completely taken away, really, by the elaborate frescoes and, in some respects, detailed sculptures within. That stunning interior is, you see, so large, that is makes a good place to enjoy a classical music concert; that is something that they frequently hold, and something you could really find to do here. As a matter of fact, the views from the dome (should you feel quite daring enough to climb up), very offer, an extraordinary vista, pretty impressive, of Prague.

2. Wallenstein Garden: Formal Gardens and a Grotto

Then, there is the Wallenstein Garden, basically a little calm island in the midst of the, a bit, very bustling city. Initially, you see, the garden of Wallenstein Palace, yet this space is, actually, available now for everyone to walk around in and kind of lose oneself. What do you expect from it? Nicely trimmed lawns, fountains just bubbling over with water, but very carefully designed, and, too it’s almost statues just standing in silent vigil are common features. But still, the grotto wall, with its, you know, curious stalactites and kind of strange faces, may well prove, for you, that you see the more exciting feature. During summer, you can watch open-air theatre performances or listen, arguably, to concerts here which adds to the garden’s lively, actually, feel. You can go for a tranquil amble alone or that interesting cultural experience with buddies.

3. Kampa Museum: Modern Art by the River

Should your heart long for a little something modern, anyway, Kampa Museum may, that is, be right up your street; its positioning just beside the Vltava River, frankly, is quite gorgeous in the daylight. I’d have to say that the museum specializes, more or less, in 20th-century and contemporary art with, literally, a solid concentration on the work of Central European artists. With work, in some respects, from František Kupka exhibited right next to work from Otto Gutfreund, you know you will discover artwork by, I guess you could say, a whole selection of famous Czech creatives. Furthermore, you will not fail to note, too it’s almost, those sculptures outside. In that case, a selection of weird and really strange sculptures sits outside the museum walls just increasing this art venue’s attraction to a high point.

5. John Lennon Wall: A Symbol of Peace and Freedom

Next, we see the John Lennon Wall; now more than just any, well, old wall. Anyway, considering that the 1980s, people covered it, that, you see, in John Lennon-inspired graffiti, along with bits from Beatles tracks; but also at a period once Czechoslovakia had a communist government; it offered a vent for expressing people’s discontent. Nowadays you will see this colourful wall which means peace, is that, well visited by people from near and far; every one goes along and is invited for the best time of getting photographed at and for putting a bit of your creative thinking regarding it. No more than one or two steps are there coming from Charles Bridge.
