Leaving alone for the first time
I left for Prague early in the morning, completely on my own for the first time. I was excited, but I also wondered what would happen if I got lost or needed help.
I knew this journey could change how I travelled. If I enjoyed it, I would no longer have to wait until someone else had the time, money or desire to join me.
A city made for walking
Pastel façades, cobbled streets, towers and the Vltava impressed me immediately. I explored Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock, crossed Charles Bridge and continued to the castle district.
The day gave me more than photographs. It showed me that I could navigate, make decisions and enjoy my own company.
The beginning of freedom
Prague remains one of my favourite recommendations for a first solo city break: beautiful, manageable and exciting enough to feel like a real adventure even in a single day.
