This trip included traveling to Lisbon together with the Singelresor Group to celebrate New Year; spending a night in Stockholm; and then flying to Prague where I stayed for two nights. I did not make any flight review flying in TAP economy class although I have included reviews of the lounges I was able to visit during this trip.
A few weeks ago, I visited Prague for the first time. My first day was spent there visiting the Old Town Square and going up to the Old Town Hall Tower where I had a fantastic view of the square and its surroundings, as well as visiting the famous Charles Bridge. It was snowing on the two days I was there but it was actually something that made my visit more meaningful. Here are some of the attractions I was able to visit and would highly recommend to all my fellow travelers.
The Old Town Square: This is probably the most beautiful town square I have visited!

Tyn Church: Inside the church is Prague's oldest pipe organ. Unfortunately, I visited it on the morning before my flight back to Stockholm and I was informed that the pipe organ could only be seen during the mass, which on that day was at 6pm. In case you are planning to visit this church, make sure you know what times they have the mass.
Prague Astronomical Clock: This 600 year old clock is considered as one of the greatest treasures of the city.
Old Town Hall Tower: Built in the 14th century, it is one of the oldest town hall towers in Europe. From the tower, you will get the breathtaking view of the city so make sure you don't miss it.
Charles Bridge (Karluv most): A stunning bridge decorated with different monuments of saints and patron saints, this is simply not be missed when in Prague.
Prague Castle: This castle is the largest ancient castle in world. Inside the castle, you will find the beautiful St. Vitus Cathedral among others.
St. Nicholas Church: This beautiful church located in the old town square is hard to miss.
