Visiting amazing Prague - 2 days on the run and with a small budget

Living in Wroclaw has its perks. Wroclaw is the meeting point, they say. Weel, what I realised is that Wroclaw is a really good spot from where to start your travels. Whether you want to go to Berlin, Prague, Dresden, or anywhere in Europe for that matter, you can easily reach your destination.

I planned to go to Prague. But how and for how long? Well, just for 2 days and on a very low budget. So it was 2 days, one night at my airbnb accommodation, but lots and lots and lots of nice places, good art, surprizes from behind buildings, and a lot of walking.

Day 1

So, I booked my ride with Luxexpress for 4 A.M, so I would arrive in Prague in the morning and so I would start visiting as soon as possible. Luxexpress was the most amazing transportation mean ever. It was really Luxurious: comfy seats, personal monitors, lots of leg space, tea and coffee, nice toilet and quality driving. Too bad I was tired and I culd not enjoy all these for the full 4 hours of my ride.

I arrived in Prague sometime between 8.30 A.M and 9.00 A.M. I opened my heremaps app and I set the route for my first destination, the town center. I got a nice cup of coffee in the station and went on to the central point of the city. I had looked up a Free walking tour there, just to have the chance and get acquainted with the surroundings. I found the meeting place for the tour and joined it. The weather was nice, chilly, but sunny. People were noisy from early in the morning, and that gave me a really nice feeling of being in the center of action. During the tour I had the chance to see most of the places I had booked on my heremaps app. So, after the tour, knowing where everything was positioned, I went to visit each of the attractions in more detail. I went to the Jewish quarter where I visited the Jewish cemetery, the one which has grown in height and not in width or length, the Synagogue there, the streets filled with expensive stores, and a museum of Jewish history in Prague. 

After visiting the Jewish quarter I went on to look for the Dancing House, and Kafka`s ever changing mechanical statue. On my way I entered a nice pop art exposition in a gallery, where contemporary artist, Pasta Oner. Since I paid little to see the Jewish Quarter and the Dancing house and Kafka`s statue were for free, I could spend a little more money to see this exhibition.

After this I was headed towards the center to go visit the Beer Museum and the Sex Machine Museum. On my way I saw other interesting and fun sculptures hanging from strings above the streets. Piece of advice: always take the not so main ways. Do not go behind building or into dark places, but just keep walking in the narrow streets, they offer most free surprises. Beer Museum was quite cheap, and, besides visiting the actual museum which looks more like a tiny warehouse, I got the chance to taste 4 types of beer, this was included in the price. After having drunk the honey super tasty beer glass I went to the Sex Machine Museum, which was, well, just go and see for yourselves.

After a long walking day I went to my Airbnb accommodation where I slept very soundly until the next morning. Even though this flat was on top of some disco club, I heard nothing. So this is the benefit of a full day, the disadvantages of cheap accommodation do not bother you. And this is how low budget works.
