After spending Christmas in Berlin, I headed straight to Prague, taking the Flixbus from Berlin Central Bus Station to Prague (ÚAN Florenc Bus Station), which took about four and a half hours. I arrived in the Czech Republic’s capital city while it was still midday. I always tell everyone that Prague was the highlight of my trip in Europe. It’s unforgettable for me, especially because as I was about to board the train to my hostel, I suddenly got a very upset stomach. It felt like full-blown diarrhea, to be honest, and I was almost beside myself during that several-minute train ride. When I reached the station, I couldn’t find a restroom anywhere! I felt sweat dripping all over my body despite the cold and had goosebumps—do you know that feeling? Ugh, it was horrible. I even considered paying a hundred euros to any establishment that would allow me to use their restroom, haha! I kept checking Google Maps and realized it would take me another 20 minutes of walking to reach the hostel (I never considered taking the tram because I wasn’t confident there wouldn’t be an accident). It was really horrifying, but looking back, it’s actually something that made my trip even more exciting! Lol.
So, I managed to reach my beautiful hostel, the Czech Inn. I absolutely adored this hostel! It was very cozy, affordable, and the staff were amazing! After calming down from my rushed check-in, I realized that it was only a minute’s walk to Krymska Station (a tram station) which could practically take you anywhere in Prague. They also offered a buffet breakfast for 6 euros (though I’m not sure if they offer lunch and dinner too), and I’d say it’s definitely worth it. I wouldn’t mind staying with them again next time
I never really planned much for my trip to this beautiful city. I mean, I had read a few things about it online, and since it’s only a few hours from Berlin, I figured why not visit, right? Little did I know, I would fall in love with the fairy tale vibe of the city, with its cobblestone streets, palaces, cathedral, and its beautiful people! Walking across the Charles Bridge, taking in the grandeur of Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, admiring the John Lennon Wall, exploring the Jewish Museum, and enjoying a lively concert in the Old Town Square—each moment was a treasure. I’m so grateful I didn’t miss the chance to visit this city. Strolling around felt like unwrapping a holiday gift. It was undeniably a worthwhile stop and a must-see city when you visit Europe.
