iwannagothere.com This is travel, not tourism

Don´t be scared by the zillions of tourists who visit Prague every single day. They also deserve to know this astonishing city but please, don´t follow their steps. And despite what you can hear, Prague is more than the Charles Bridge. As a matter of fact: you don´t need to cross it to feel the city´s essence.

Café Louvre. You cannot visit Prague without spending an hour minimum sitting in a Café. Any place works but if you don´t pay attention you will miss this truly amazing one. It´s in the first floor of a great building and every single retail is charming, from the WC signals to the furniture.

Galerie Rudolfinum. It should be named “Museum” instead of gallery. Not only  its size is huge but also its agenda includes a series of top level exhibition. It´s usually empty, which is half sad and half wonderful and extremely interesting.

Kutna Hora. Don´t be afraid of leaving Prague for one day. You will be glad to be far from hords of Americans and Spaniards. Get a bus and scape to Kutha Hora. It´s just one hour from the capital and it´s plenty of Gothic and Baroque churches and palaces. It´s a small ( and more user-friendly) Prague.

Museum of Communism: Although Prague people are looking forward to forget their communist phase, that time deserves an attentive look. This tiny museum was launched by an American scholar and explores the communist iconography . It´s not a huge highlight, but if you want to understand what Prague is, you should stop by it.

Stairs at the Czech Cubist Museum. You will probably miss the own Museum  which is just Ok, but if you miss its wonderful set of stairs you will be making a big mistake. Misterious, elegante and unique, this architectural exercise projected by Gocar is hidden but waiting for you. The Museum store is also fantastic.
