this years pre-Christmas time is a little different for us. Since I have planed and organized everything upfront (decoration, presents, menu, tree) we planed on taking a weekend off and headed to beautiful Prague in Czech Republik.

It is an adorable old city. Like a mixture of Regensburg – where we live – and Venice in Italy. They have old brick buildings, big churches and lots of little bridges.

During this time of the year the city is decorated so beautiful with lots of lights and garlands. They also have about six or seven Christmas markets.

You can do lots of sightseeing. Visit the landmarks of Prague. You can spend an evening at the theatre or visit the opera. Or you could go shopping since they have an old and a new town centre there are lots of shops and possibilities.

But afterall you should really go to a restaurant and eat one of those delicious meals of their Czech cuisine. The stew called Gulasch is so so good. You won´t miss this experience and of course not how it tastes.
