Just look at those historic castles, magnificent palaces, and fairytale-like districts! Doesn't Prague look like the ultimate romantic city? Paris and Rome are also romantic, sure, but the Czech capital just has a certain vibe to it. Perhaps its storybook-like beauty brings out the romantic in anyone. It's easy to imagine yourselves as royals, nobility, knights, and more, the kind of extravagant love stories you grew up with. However, there's more to the romance of Prague than its historic ambiance. In fact, there are a lot of romantic things couples can do in this city. Here are five worth mentioning.
Leave a Lock at Lovers Bridge
Although the most famous Lovers Bridge is in Paris, the one in Prague is just as noteworthy. Located in the Malá Strana
neighborhood in Prague, this pathway is lined with many locks left by lovers, just like the one in the French capital. Admittedly, doing this sort of thing has become cliché. In fact, there are already so many locks here and a bridge has become quite precarious because of them, the city has gone on to discourage tourists from leavening any more behind. However, this sort of tradition remains a part of the whole Prague experience. When you go here, you'll still want to leave. a lock behind too!
