17 – Take a tour to the Terezin Concentration Camp

Terezin Concentration Camp in Prague

The sobering Terezin Concentration Camp was the former site of one the most tragic events in modern history. On guided tours of the WWII facility, visitors can retrace the story of Jewish prisoners, walk through its buildings, and learn about what really happened behind its walls.

Be aware, these tours can be particularly emotional and difficult, so make sure you’re in the right headspace.

Its history, however, extends centuries before then. Originally built (between 1780 and 1790) under the rule of Emperor Joseph II, he initially chose the grounds as the position for the Terezin Fortress (known as Theresienstadt). Only in the latter years was the site converted during wartime.

30 – Take photos of the Powder Gate Tower

Powder Gate Tower, Prague

Serving as an entranceway for the royal kings way back in time as they made their way into the city (now Old Town), the Powder Gate Tower not only holds extreme significance, but its architecture makes it a standout attraction.

Construction of the gate began in 1475, stylized in the typical gothic architecture of the time, however, throughout the years it has undergone some destruction to the original elements, but restoration efforts were constantly made to bring the gate tower back to its original glory.

The last time it did see renovations was nearly 150 years ago in 1887 (until 1886) but at this time in Prague, gothic-style architecture was still very “in” — modeled in the style of the time; the Gothic Revival architecture.

Admire its 65-meter-high stature, curved archway and the stoned 186-stepped spiral staircase. Known as the Prašná brána in local Czech, there is also an observation gallery 44 meters from the ground.

Purchasing a 24-hour pass, jump on and off of the tram at one of the designated tram stops at your leisure, and the carts usually make a pick and drop off between each point every 45 minutes.

Boarding the iconic street cars not only offers the possibility to sightsee, but is a historic endeavor in itself.

Dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire (which ruled over the Czech Republic and other parts of central Europe from 1867 to 1918, and thereafter the country was renamed Czechoslovakia up until 1938), during these times, the trams were already utilized for traveling through the country.

Dive into history or put on your dancing shoes and head to a banging underground club… Spend days (even a week) lapping up all the evolving things to do in Berlin that make it so different from anywhere else.

Also a four-hour drive (and available to travel via train), head to Munich in Germany instead of its capital. Among the magical things to do in Munich, add the fairytale-like Neuschwanstein Castle to the top of your list!
