Prague is already a beautiful city in itself, what with the castles, palaces, and the like. You probably won't need to go to a museum to appreciate the beauty in this European capital. But doing so won't hurt, right? After all, you can never have too much beauty, and Prague is simply a feast for the eyes. Though that's one feast you won't be able to enjoy anytime soon because of the global pandemic. Not in-person, at least! Thanks to the power of the internet, you can still visit a handful of museums in the Czech capital as if you're actually there.
National Gallery in Prague
'Madonna of Zbraslav,' 'The Maiden” by Gustav Klimt, and 'Feast of the Rosary” by Albrecht Dürer—these are just some of the artwork you'll find in the National Gallery of Prague. This stunning museum houses the country's most extensive art collection, covering various time periods, continents, art movements, and more. It's likely you'll spend just as long a time exploring it virtually on their website as you would walking through the place in-person. Also, their YouTube channel has countless videos further explaining many of the notable pieces in their collection. You wouldn't want to miss out on any of them!

Jewish Museum in Prague
100,000 books and 40,000 objects all relating to the Jewish Community in the Czech Republic are just some of what you'll see in the Jewish Museum in Prague. Everyone knows that the Jews went through a lot of hardships in Europe, most especially during World War II. So any place within this continent that celebrates and pays tribute to them is certainly one worth visiting.

Either way, make sure you have a lot of tissues with you when you go on the virtual tour!

Admittedly, however, one of the best parts of actually visiting Prague is getting to stay in any of the
luxury homes in the city!
