1. Prague Castle and Charles Bridge

The best picture of the Prague Castle and Charles bridge can be taken from the Bridge of the Legions (Most Legií) close to the National Theatre. Its very popular alternative is renting a boat or water bike in Žofín Island and take pictures from the waters of Vltava river.

2. Prague Bridges from Letná Park

Another place that is ideal for breathtaking pictures is Letná park, located on a hill situated just beside Vltava river. If you are looking for some quiet place with amazing views of Prague, then include Letná Park into your itinerary. Here you can also taste some of the best Czech beers as there is a beer garden as well. Letná park is the second largest park in Prague (just after Stromovka) and is easily accessible from the city centre even on foot.

3. Charles Bridge from Malá Strana

In fact there are numerous places where you can take amazing pictures of Charles Bridge from but there is one secret place that you will be really surprised with. Furthermore it is likely that you will not be disturbed by anybody as this place is quite hidden and unknown and use to be totally free of people. It is located at the bank of Vltava river, in the courtyard of Franz Kafka Museum on Malá Strana. Here you can also see popular tourist attraction – fountain of two pissing guys, which makes people laughing. Our place is on the right side of this fountain. Go to the very right corner at the river and you will be amazed. Best time to come here is in the evening, or in the dusk.

4. Old town square from Old Town Hall Tower

Very popular place for taking pictures of Old Town square and its surroundings is a tower of Old Town Hall, right above Orloj (Astronomical Clock). It will not be hard for you to find this tower, you just need to follow the crowds of people which certainly take you to Old Town Square.

So now you are aware of the places in Prague you need to visit with your camera, the last thing you have to do is to find some Prague boutique hotel and there will be nothing else that could stop you from getting really memorable and unique experiences.

Transylvania is located in the heart of Romania. Originally it was an autonomous region, which was gradually included under the government of Hungary, the Ottoman Empire or Austro-Hungarian Empire. Fortunately much of its history and cultural heritage still preserved.

The city of Cluj-Napoca is considered as the capital city and cultural and industrial center. Here you can find the famous Orthodox cathedral. Several state and private universities have their headquarters here, including the largest university in Romania – Babes Bolyai University. There are lots of museums in Cluj-Napoca. You can visit the Museum of Art, Museum of Pharmacy and Transylvanian Ethnographic Museum with its impressive exterior exposures.

Another medieval city that attracts visitors to Transylvania is Sighisoara. Especially its part called Upper Town, which is even included on the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its castle tower with astronomical clock, which now serves as a historical museum has even become a symbol and hallmark of the city. From a wooden walkway at the top of the tower you can enjoy a beautiful view of all the houses and roofs in the neighborhood, including the alleged birthplace of Count Dracula. Even Dracula, or Vlad Tepes, whose tyranny served as an inspiration to the famous theme of the novel, were not born here in fact.

Just in a short distance from Sighisoara, in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, you can find a popular ski resort of Poiana Brasov. But thanks to the spectacular peaks the resort worth visiting also during the summer months. Not far from it you can visit the famous “vampire” Bran Castle. Although here you can virtually meet with Dracula at each step, inside the majestic castle he is not even mentioned. The ruins of the “real” castle, inhabited by the dreaded Vlad Tepes, is located elsewhere, not far from here, but they are hardly accessible and would certainly not impress much more as more attractive Bran.

Romantic wooden churches in the northern part of Transylvania are other of the places that were included on the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The narrow, but tall buildings with turrets, complete the true face of the Romanian mountain landscape. It is surprising that this museum of rural life, which belongs to the greatest treasures of Romania is often omitted by many tourists on their trips around Transylvania.
