Welcome to View from Prague

My name is Magdalena Marsden (nee Jandakova) and I’m a native Czech living in Prague. I started ‘View from Prague’ blog in January 2019 to share my love for this beautiful city and for traveling and hiking around Czech Republic. I want to show you that you can enjoy Prague in an easy-going, non-touristy kind of way.

I’ve put together practical travel guides, places to visit and plenty of tips for making the most of your time in Prague.

Whether you’re planning your first trip or you’re a seasoned traveller, I hope you’ll find something here to inspire you.
