[:en]Christmas in Prague[:sv]Jul i Prag[:]

Travel December 21, 2016

[:en]Each year, right before Christmas, I go on a trip with my mother to get into the perfect Christmas mood. Last year we went to Vienna and this year we decided on Prague. I must admit (somewhat ashamedly) that I thought I was going to some backwards ex-Soviet republic, but to my surprise I found a modern, trendy, hospitable and absolutely gorgeous city which was like a fairytale to walk around in.

Of course the main reason we went here were all the Christmas markets out of which the largest were on the Old Town Square as well as on Wenceslas Square and there were smaller markets every here and there no matter where in the city you were. These pictures are a mix of here and there, but they all convey the spirit of Christmas.

And yeah, well, what can I say, at least they had smoked those chips really well. But make sure to try local delicacies, such as the thin bread rolls baked over open fire in the picture below.

And then there are ornaments. I have as a tradition to always buy a Christmas ornament to remember my trips by. One day when I’m all grown up and will actually have a Christmas tree, these ornaments will remind me of all my lovely trips around the world. This time I bought both a hand painted ornament with some local architecture as well as one of these angels.
When you’re tired of Christmas stuff (you will get tired after a while), explore the areas surrounding the Prague Castle. With it’s immense history and beautiful architecture, not unique only to the castle, but to all of Prague, you can spend hours just walking around in the narrow alleys and over beautiful bridges, most notably, the Charles Bridge.

If you’re a narcissist like me, you’ll enjoy this maze. The less enjoyable part is that it took forever for me to actually find my way out of it.

Just next to the maze there was a lookout tower built for an industrial exhibition in 1891 (just as the maze was). I am DEATHLY afraid of heights when they’re open air solutions like these. The only thing standing between me and a huge leap into death were these bars and I’m surprised I actually could hold my hands steady enough to take this picture with a wonderful view over the Charles Bridge.

The Castle itself isn’t just A castle. It’s a bundle of castles built in different eras and they actually compile into an imperial city which was secluded in the old days when the Habsburgs still ruled the place. Oh how I miss those days…

If you wanna get drunk, that’s no problem. There’s alcohol everywhere and it’s dirt cheap as well.

I dunno who wins the posing contest here. I’m trying to look as stern as he does though. When walking down from the Prague Castle, you sooner or later get to the famous Charles Bridge. The swans at its shore were scary as heck (I was attacked by one when I was a kid, hence the trauma), but make for a pretty addition to the scenery.

To treat ourselves to something special, we ate at the adorable Restaurant Ungelt. A Michelin Star restaurant with delicious food and immensely friendly staff. We thought, what the heck, we’re worth this. When we saw the bill we were kind of shocked though. A three course meal for two persons for a total of 70€!!! That is like… CHEAP. Everything else was cheap too. A taxi from the airport to our hotel located in Prague 1 (yes, they go from like 1-8, just like the arrondissements in Paris) cost 15€ and I was appalled when I went to Louis Vuitton and found out my bag actually cost 200€ less in Prague than it did in London. Talk about being bummed!

So if you want cheap (and GREAT) shopping on top of that wonderful Christmas feeling from all the markets while you take in the beautiful architecture all around, Prague is my tip for your next Christmas trip. I bet it’s beautiful in the summer too, a fact I need to check out soon. I lit one of these candles (in walnuts) together with this adorable girl to thank universe. Universe certainly has given me so very much this year.

Merry Christmas my dear friends, but no worries, I will keep you updated with new posts all Christmas long!

 [:sv]Varje år, innan jul, åker jag och mamma till en stad varken hon eller jag varit i innan för att insupa lite julatmosfär och komma i rätt stämning. Denna gång föll lotten på Prag och efteråt är jag extremt tacksam för detta. Innan vi åkte (och till och med på flygplatsen) trodde jag att det var ett någorlunda slitet öststatsland med sovjetprägel. Skamset får jag erkänna att jag inte kunde ha mer fel. Prag är trendigt, vackert, otroligt rikt på historia (me like) och helt rätt ställe att komma i julstämning på.

Huvudorsaken var som sagt att komma i julstämning och denna finner man självfallet enklast på julmarknader. De största finns på torget i gamla stan (tja, jag tänker inte ge mig på att stava det på tjeckiska) samt på den imponerande boulevarden Wenceslas Square, men det fanns små julstånd lite här och var runtom hela staden.

Och tja, brandsäkerheten i stånden var väl lite sisådär, men åtminstone fick man rökta chips om inte annat. Glöm inte att testa lokala delikatesser som dessa tunna brödrullar som bakades över öppen eld.

Jag har för vana att köpa med mig julgransdekorationer var jag än befinner mig i världen för att sedan när jag blir vuxen någon gång kunna hänga upp dem i min gran och minnas alla underbara resor jag gjort runt världen. Den här gången blev det både en handmålad julgranskula med pragmotiv samt en ängel.
När man väl tröttnar på julstämningen, för det gör man faktiskt, kan man spendera timme efter timme med att strosa runt i denna otroligt vackra stad, vare sig det är i dess smala gränder nära slottet eller över någon av deras många broar, Karlsbron inte att förglömma.

Narcissist som jag är så älskade jag såklart den här spegellabyrinten som byggdes till en industriutställning 1891. Det var däremot smått jobbigt att hitta ut därifrån, men vad gjorde det när man kan se sig själv från 100 olika vinklar.

Precis intill labyrinten fanns ett utsiktstorn, även det byggt 1891. Till saken hör att jag är GALET rädd för höjder när det inte är glasfönster eller annat som “skyddar”. Här var det enbart dessa metallstängsel som skyddade mig från en säker död ner i ravinen. Jag är bara stolt nog över att jag var stadig nog på handen för att fånga denna vy över staden (och Karlsbron) samt bilden nedan med utsikt över slottet.

Slottet är dock inte bara ett slott. Det är en samling byggnader från olika tidsepoker som bildar en sluten stad i staden, som numera (till min och Habsburgarnas förfäran) dock är öppen för allmänheten.

Om du är ute efter en fylla så är det lätt att fixa. Sprit finns överallt och alkohol är otroligt billigt. Om en öl kostar mer än 30 kronor anses det vara dyrt…

Här försöker jag posera lika bistert som soldaten, men tror ändå han vinner. Åtminstone i ståtligt poseande. Bakom mig anar man ett Prag i solnedgång och när man går ner från slottet möts man förr eller senare av Karlsbron. Där kryllar det av svanar och jag är smått rädd för dessa fåglar då jag blev attackerad av en svan som treåring (oerhört traumatiskt, jag vet), men de blir en snygg förgrund inför Karlsbron.

Sista kvällen tänkte jag och mamma att vi skulle lyxa till det lite “för det var vi värda” så vi åt på Restaurant Ungelt som innehade både Michelinstjärna, oerhört god mat och trevlig personal. När vi fick kvittot blev vi dock smått chockade. Tre rätters middag för två personer inklusive dryck och dricks gick på… 70€!!! Om inte det är billigt vet jag inte vad. Det var inte det enda som var billigt. En taxi från flygplatsen till Prag 1 där vi bodde (staden är uppdelad i arrondissement precis som Paris) kostade 15€ och när jag gick in på Louis Vuitton såg jag att min väska kostade hela 200€ mindre i Prague än vad den gjorde i London. Där var jag smått bitter.

Så årets julresa med mamma blir även årets julstadstips. Prag har allt från god mat, billig shopping, fantastisk arkitektur och historia, vänliga människor till julstämning. För att avsluta resan lägger jag upp bilden där jag tillsammans med denna bedårande flicka tände ljus stöpta i valnötsskal med syftet att tacka universum och om det är något jag ska tacka detta år är det just universum och allt det gett mig.

God Jul kära vänner, men säger inte Gott Nytt År än, då jag kommer att publicera blogginlägg hela julen lång. 🙂

    I’m just smiling so much as I read about your adventure and see all these delightful pictures. I really enjoyed your instastories, and really wished I was there with you, strolling around , seeing the many charming Christmas sights. I think the maze with totally freak me out because we have similar spots like this around here , only made of corn ( seriously) that I am not a fan of . I love how you get ornaments every year . My mom always did this for me and my sister and now we collect for our children. There is nothing like filling up a tree with lovely memories. I can’t go without saying how truly dashing you look in each picture ( and in your instastories) and I look forward to following all your future adventures and achievements. Thank you so much for sharing , Tommy. Xoxoxo

    There are so many beautiful places in this world I would love to visit but honestly Prague was never on my list till I learned everything about this amazing city through your eyes. I’ll definitely want to go there one day very soon (hopefully in summer time when it isn’t too cold ?). I absolutely love all the details you shared about this city along with those stunning images you captured (are you sure you aren’t a professional photographer?). I am also so happy you were able to spend some quality time with mom during this very festive time of the year!

    Thank you so much for sharing another great post with us, Thomas!

    With love,

    Thomas, i have to be honest here and tell you that, as i was reading this Blog i realized that i have missed your articles. Truly my favorite to read and feel like Im traveling with you or experiencing different things the same way you are experiencing them. I absolutely love Prague and i think the entire country should write you a big check for convincing me to put this place into my bucket list.
    Stay strong buddy, and we can’t wait see you back in action.

    Love this little slice of life in Prague. Such an entertaining travel guide. Good to know it is an affordable place to go. Also it’s so great that you take a yearly Xmas vacation with your mom. So cute! And those little Xmas stalls are so adorable. I too find birds scary AF – I mean they can fly and jump on you. Let’s just say I had an incident when I was younger too haha.

    I have SO been looking forward to this post (you know that)! It certainly didn’t disappoint. The photos are spectacular, and it looks like you had an incredible time. I love that you had the idea of getting an ornament in each place you travel. That’s so creative (and I totally might steal it from you whenever I actually begin to travel myself). Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us! I hope that you may have more photos in the near future. Oh! And Merry Christmas 🙂

    OMG Thomas, I’m so jealous of you! Christmas in Prague looks like a dream come true to me. I love everything about Christmas so I would probably stay in the market all day and eat and see everything Christmas related. That castle is amazing too! Do they allow photoshoots? Haha, so beautiful and wonderfully captured. I hope to visit one day!

    Initially when I read your comment about buying Christmas ornaments, I thought, “Why would he buy something so fragile” to take back? But what you said was so beautiful – to have a tree filled with ornaments from around the world. I think I’m going to start doing that! Haha. 😛

    Merry Christmas!

I haven’t been to Vienna but I love markets and would love to explore a Christmas market. Christmas stuff can get a little overwhelming- I definitely agree. How much do handpainted ornaments go for there?? They are gorgoeus! Merry Christmas!!

    I’ve been to Prague many years ago when I was a teenager and it was a wonderful trip! I really loved the old city and all of the national desserts! It seems like you had an amazing trip too! Thank you for sharing your amazing photo report! It’s been such pleasure reading your informative blog post!

    Prague looks so beautiful and it seems like you had quite the adventure during the holidays. 🙂 I’ve heard so many great things about Prague and I can see why now. Prague looks like there’s so much rich history! I would love to try the mirror maze you were at haha and I’m just drooling over the food that you got to eat in Prague. Happy holidays and hope you had a Merry Christmas!

    I love that you buy a new ornament every time you travel! I hope I can start this tradition soon as it does sound so lovely to have a whole tree one day decorated with my memories and talk to my children about it!

    Can I just tell you that Prague has been at the top of my travel list for some time now! Oh, and I also collect ornaments from all my travels for my Christmas tree. Kindred spirits you and I! I actually thought about doing Prague in the summer when I’m in Europe to visit my bestie who now lives in Italy. But, now you’ve made me want to do Prague at Christmas! Who knows, maybe I’ll do both 😉

    Love this post Thomas!
