Imagine strolling through ancient cobbled streets, where every corner whispers a tale of history and romance, and iconic landmarks rise like silent sentinels over a vibrant city. Prague, the heart of Europe, is a place that has long captured imaginations with its spellbinding charm and captivating architecture. On this journey, I embarked on a curated travel experience to explore what makes Prague an extraordinary destination for travel, honeymoon, weddings & beyond. From its medieval roots to modern luxuries, my first two days were nothing short of an exploration of elegance, culture, and breathtaking beauty.
A Grand Arrival and The Luxury of The Mozart Prague
My adventure began at Václav Havel Airport, where a warm welcome and private transfer set the tone for what would be a luxurious escape into the heart of this historic city. Driving through Prague’s streets was like stepping back in time. The Mozart Prague, my home for the next three nights, embodied this historical essence with its timeless architecture and contemporary comforts. Located in the center of the city, it offered an atmosphere that perfectly balanced Prague’s cultural heritage with the modern-day luxury I knew would appeal to couples seeking an unforgettable wedding destination.
After settling in, I took to the city for an impromptu solo exploration. I wandered along cobblestone paths, where every street felt like a journey into the past, each building a work of art. As the sky dimmed, Prague’s lights cast a golden glow across the cityscape, enhancing its fairy-tale allure. The evening’s tranquility offered a quiet moment to reflect on the journey ahead, and I couldn’t wait to dive deeper into what this city had in store.
Guided Tours, Lavish Venues, and a Glass Boat Dinner
On Day 2, a fresh morning began with a delightful breakfast, followed by a warm welcome from Barbara Andelová of CzechTourism, who gave invaluable insights into Prague’s wedding industry. Our day began with a short tour through Lesser Town, a picturesque part of Prague that felt straight out of a storybook. Barbara led us to Kampa and the enchanting Vrtba Garden, a Baroque gem tucked away in the city’s historic heart. As I wandered through its manicured pathways, I could easily envision a wedding here, where the lush greenery and romantic atmosphere would provide a dream setting for vows exchanged in pure European splendor.
By noon, we made our way to Augustine, a Luxury Collection Hotel for a site inspection and lunch. Once a medieval monastery, the Augustine has since been transformed into an elegant hotel while preserving its historic grandeur. Dining here felt like a step back in time, a unique experience that blended medieval architecture with modern luxury. The combination of ambiance, heritage, and tastefully designed spaces made it easy to see why this venue is highly regarded among wedding planners.
Our next destination, the Mandarin Oriental Prague, captivated me with its extraordinary beauty and history. Housed within a former Dominican monastery, this venue boasted expansive gardens, serene courtyards, and elegant halls – a truly exclusive setting for weddings. The contrast of historical elements with luxurious modern amenities highlighted the venue’s timeless appeal, and I could imagine it hosting exquisite weddings where each moment feels touched by history.
The day closed with the much-anticipated Crystal Dinner aboard a glass boat, a perfect capstone to a day filled with magic and exploration. Sailing down the Vltava River, I took in breathtaking views of Prague’s most famous landmarks, each glittering against the evening sky. This floating feast offered a new perspective on the city, as the iconic spires, bridges, and castles illuminated by night seemed to tell their own stories. A delectable buffet paired with these unmatched views made the evening unforgettable, a truly romantic experience that any couple would cherish.

Prague is a city where history and romance meet in the most inspiring ways. From the luxury of The Mozart Prague to the breathtaking elegance of Augustine and the Mandarin Oriental, each venue showcased a different facet of Prague’s appeal as a wedding destination. My experience so far has been nothing short of mesmerizing; Prague isn’t just a place you visit, it’s a place you feel.
