Since the trip was so long, and we did so much, I don’t feel like I can take the time to write out a full description of what we did every day. Prague is full of many beautiful sights, historic landmarks, and awesome brews and bars. We had very full days there, and rather than boring you with a play-by-play, I’m just going to play “one sentence per picture” with some of my favorite shots from the trip.
The plane is happy to see us!
We’ve been in the country for an hour and we’re already drinking beer.
Lots of bars in Prague have foosball tables.
Every latte I ordered in Prague was beautiful.
We went to a cat cafe! Kitties everywhere!
Got my fingers in the picture. Whoops!
The historic Charles Bridge
Ben contemplates creepy baby statues with barcodes for faces.
A flight of 10 delicious Czech beer samples. It may look like they’re not full, but in Europe, beers come with a huge head of foam; these have just settled.
Ben and Emily wandering Petrin.
There is no shortage of beautiful views in this hilly city.
In Europe, public drinking is 100% legal, and 100% fun!
My dashing husband. No, all those beers aren’t his.
Peacocks wandering a public park.
Ben likes to climb things.
Gorgeous stained glass windows in the church near Prague Castle
Still more beautiful views in Petrin Park

Ben and Emily are skeptical of my photography skills
We had a 13 hour layover in Copenhagen. At 5:30 am, people are stumbling home drunk from the clubs and the streets are filthy.
Copenhagen is a bike city, and most buildings have these charming courtyards.
After wandering for hours, we finally found an open bakery.
Copenhagen at 8 am. The drunks are gone and city workers have cleaned up. Same statue, no garbage.
So there you have it, a small slice of our awesome trip. We got home at midnight Sunday and I was at work at 8am on Monday, after an epic 36 hours on the road. I still haven’t unpacked and I’m still exhausted, but it was 100% worth it. I HIGHLY recommend Prague if you’re looking for a European adventure. The city is safe and clean, public transit is affordable and reliable, and it’s cheap as all get-out. The exchange rate is incredibly favorable; you can get a .5L beer in a grocery store for the equivalent of $0.50!
Have you ever been to Prague? What about Copenhagen?
Lovely! Nope, sadly am in my mid 40’s and have never been out of the country minus Canada and Mexico which I don’t count, LOL!
I hope you get to travel someday–it’s tons of fun!
I hope so too…that little thing called $$ always gets in the way, LOL!! Maybe once my kids are grown!
awesome!!! Looks like fun!
SO MUCH FUN!
FUN STUFF!!! I’ve been to a whole lot of Europe— just not these two places! They’re on my list! Glad you had a fun trip. And honestly? I kind of dig the Creepy Baby Barcode Heads. 🙂
There’s also a TV tower that has them crawling up and down it. So weird.
That’s awesome. And totally creepy. 🙂
Wow, so beautiful! Looks like you guys had a fantastic time! Good for you 🙂
It really is so beautiful there. Even though it’s a city there are lots of gorgeous, leafy parks.
No. Looks like a wonderful trip.
It really was 🙂
So glad you had such a wonderful trip!! I haven’t been anywhere in Europe yet…but my sister was just traveling around and was possibly in Prague at the same time as you! She comes home this week finally 😀
Fun! I hope she had as good a trip as I did 🙂
So much fun.! how interesting.
I would love to travel and explore another country someday. but ehh, who knows.
It can be tough to make the time and save the money. We were really lucky that we had someone we could stay with, so it was a lot cheaper than it would have been otherwise.
Bahaha love the before and after of Copenhagen. Also I think that Ben should’ve sat to the left (looking at him) of the beers, so that it could have been like reception bars (look at the amount of beer in the cups). So lush (double entendre) and gorgeous!
Hehe love it!
Wow. Just wow! I’ve never been to those parts of Europe but it’s on my to visit list!! Your husband looks like so much fun and I loved how you wore your Garmin everywhere 🙂 Great pictures!!!!
Ben is an absolute blast–he keeps me on my toes and pushes me outside my comfort zone all the time.
What a fabulous, fabulous TRIP! Your pictures are stunning and you look like you had a blast. Thanks for sharing! Seems like a must-see kind of a place 🙂
It really is–pretty much every time you turn a corner there’s something beautiful to look at.
Awesome pictures!! Well, those baby statues are seriously creepy. Glad to hear you had a great trip!
Aren’t they creepy?! So strange, I don’t know why they’re there…
Never been to Prague or Copenhagen but sure would like to! The extent of my traveling has taken me to a bit of the US, Cuba, Iceland and England. So much more I want to see. Looks like you guys had an awesome trip!
We had a short layover in Iceland, I wish we could have actually gotten out to see it!
I was a teen when I went and the thing I remember best is how delicious their yogurt was. Would love to go again as an adult. I’m sure I’d get a lot more out of it now! 🙂
It looks beautiful! I so want to go!
You should–it’s worth it!
Late to the party, but looks like an amazing time!! Drew is like Ben and loves to climb random things too 🙂 I’ve never been to Prague or Copenhagen, but would love to go to both places!
I think the four of us need to hang out 🙂
Yes! The guys can climb things and we can document. And then all go drink yummy beers 😉
