A Short Getaway in Prague
Last week was a travel week in our office. A few of our team members have been out and around in Europe exploring beautiful sights. Here is a little story from our Head Designer, Angelica Vargas, who traveled to charming Prague.
I’ve been wishing to visit Prague for years, not just because of the beautiful architecture or the great beer, but mainly because of my all times favorite writer Milan Kundera, who happens to be Czech. Some of his books are set in Prague and I wanted to experience the city a bit through his lens, so the first thing I packed for my trip was my book ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’.
Loved reading it again while being exactly there. Walking the streets of Prague got an extra dimension, and apart from admiring the prettiness, I could also think about the city struggles during the communist years or how would the characters look like and stand at the places they described.
Prague is beautiful and I’m glad we met at last. Some highlights of my trip:
Love this funky TV tower. The babies crawling on it are by controversial Czech sculptor David Černý and were only added in 2000. You can go 93m up with an elevator for a view of the city.
Great Asian fusion food served in small portions so you can taste a lot of different things. The place decor is really cool and they have a bar and club too.
Perfect place for a cocktail in a nice area of town. The place looks a bit like a movie setting… old books, red leather coaches and nicely styled waitress and barman to match.
Nice bakery and coffee shop with a cool brand. Good place for a quick bite or a glass of wine in town.
Tower on top of Petrin Hill, you can walk up (or take the lift) for cool views of the city.
