Dive into history in the Czech Republic and Germany
Before leaving the Czech capital city, it is a must to pay a visit to the grand Prague Castle. Make a short stop at a restored palace before crossing over to Germany. Spend the evening walking around the quaint streets of Nuremberg, one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Take in some of the top sites, the traditional German houses, and round off with a relaxing meal of traditional Czech food and beer. And if you want to, continue for a couple of more drinks before hitting the nest.

Prague Castle
Landmark
Open Details
Prague Castle is about half an hour walk from the hotel, but since it is hard to find parking, you are better off walking back and forth before leaving the city.
The city's castle is not only one of the most popular tourist attractions in Prague and a must-visit, but it has also been home to the country's rulers. Today, the Czech president resides in the castle.
It is believed that Prague Castle dates all the way back to year 880, though since then it has undergone several fortifications.
Opening hours Monday-Sunday: 06:00-22:00.

The Beautiful Fountain
Landmark
Open Details
The 14th-century Schöner Brunnen fountain is towering on the main marketplace by the city's town hall. The 19-meter tall Gothic spire is one of Nuremberg's main attractions and worth walking by. Painted in gold in the 1400s, it was later ignored. Restoration work took place first at the end of the 1500s and later at the beginning of the 1800s.
Legend has it that if you turn the brass ring that is loose on the chain of the fountain 3 times, your wishes will come true. Back in the days, it was connected to couples that could not get children.
