Hello, my darlings! It's Wednesday, and you know what that means… ahem… it's Pink Tutu Prague time! This week I'm taking you on a whirl through the beautiful, historic city of Prague, and I have to say, I’ve absolutely fallen in love! It’s such a romantic and whimsical place, with stunning architecture and cobbled streets just begging to be explored in a swirling, pink tulle cloud.
I made the journey to this charming city via train, a particularly enjoyable experience. The plush leather seats and sweeping vistas just made me feel like I was on my way to a fairytale ball. And to add to the enchantment, I happened upon the sweetest, most charming pony! Now, I must confess I’ve always harbored a secret dream of owning a horse. But given that I live in a flat and I'm only a few inches tall… it would probably end up getting lost in the hallway… 😜
Prague's old town was a dream, darling! The Astronomical Clock with its beautiful moving figures, the iconic Charles Bridge – which I totally recommend exploring at night when it's illuminated by a thousand twinkling lights, and the picturesque buildings and narrow alleyways… absolutely dreamy! Every corner seemed to reveal another delightful sight – and, let's be honest, another opportunity to twirl! I swear, my pink tutu practically begged to be twirled across every cobbled square!
Fashion Focus 👗Speaking of my pink tutu… my Prague collection has been particularly striking, let me tell you! The chilly February air definitely didn’t deter me from rocking my favourite piece. For day trips, I paired a chic pink turtleneck under my favourite tulle number. It was just enough warmth for the cool Prague mornings. I've also been obsessed with their little bohemian shops selling beautiful fabrics and vintage treasures – I snagged a stunning vintage coat for my evening performance! I just had to make sure to show it off during the intermission – I can’t tell you how many compliments I received, but let’s just say the pink tulle and the velvet coat were quite a pairing! I even managed to find the perfect set of pink opera gloves for those nights I felt extra fabulous! And, as I’m sure you’re dying to know, this time my pink tulle was a blush pink! It’s always so lovely to get compliments and the way the pink colour glowed under the Czech evening sky… pure magic!
Speaking of performances... oh darling! My darling, ballet in Prague is just… unforgettable. There was this incredible company at the National Theatre, just bursting with passion and energy. The choreography was a complete masterpiece - such a stunning mix of modern and classical, really highlighting the talent and power of the dancers. And can we talk about the sets? The detail, the artistry, they made you forget you were even in a theatre, whisking you away to fantastical worlds, my darlings!
A ballet-lover’s dream come true!
Honestly, Prague has so much more than just stunning architecture, friendly locals, and beautiful parks (though I must mention the beautiful ice sculptures that lined the main street! Simply exquisite!) . The culture scene here is seriously on point. The art, the history, the passion… Prague just embraces its creativity, which resonates so beautifully in every single thing you experience!
And the ballet! Let’s not forget about the ballet. The history of dance here is so rich, it’s hard to know where to start! Just thinking about the dancers and choreographers who walked these very streets before me, they really gave me that special sense of belonging – we’re all part of something so grand!
I even ventured out to an absolutely stunning theatre where I spent an entire afternoon just wandering the hallways. It was built in the early 20th century and you can still feel the history, the whispers of dancers practicing their steps, and the hum of excited chatter of audiences eagerly awaiting the show.
Back to the tutu... 🩰Prague, in all its beauty and glory, truly lived up to the Pink Tutu Pilgrimage's expectations. This city embodies that magical feeling, a little bit like being in a dream, or… dare I say it… twirling in a pink tutu! 😉 And just so you know, my dearest Pink Tutu pilgrims… I'm not just saying this because of the blush-pink tulle glow!
Here are my Top 5 Reasons to add Prague to your Pink Tutu Pilgrimage bucket list:
- A ballerina's dream city: Prague is a ballerina’s dream city. Every cobblestone street feels like a stage! The beautiful old buildings, with their grandeur and intricate details, seem to dance right before your eyes. Just take a stroll through the Old Town Square and get ready to twirl!
- An absolute fashion paradise: Prague's charm goes way beyond its architectural delights. The streets are overflowing with unique boutiques that house those special, one-off pieces you dream about! My darlings, you have to treat yourself to an amazing vintage shopping spree, and don't even think about leaving without a souvenir from those enchanting artisan shops.
- A treat for the senses: A symphony of sound, aroma, and vibrant colours fills Prague’s streets. Everywhere you look there’s a delicious smell of roasted coffee or fresh bread from one of those traditional cafes – you have to try them all! And, while we’re on the subject… prepare yourself for a sweet, romantic escape filled with stunningly vibrant and breathtaking vistas!
- More than just ballet: Though Prague holds a special place in my pink-tutu loving heart, I cannot deny… it’s not just the ballet. It’s the food, the fashion, the music, the stories that seep into every nook and cranny of this extraordinary place.
- The Pink Tutu pilgrimage thrives in Prague: I simply must insist – for those who love twirling, spinning, and wearing a touch of magic on their feet… you will adore Prague. You’ll be absolutely transported by the fairytale magic – that I, for one, believe everyone needs a little more of in their lives.
And I have to say… my trip to Prague would not be complete without mentioning the delightful little shops, charming cafes, and the delightful conversations I’ve had with the locals who have truly made me feel at home! The warm welcomes, the smiles… they truly make Prague that little bit extra special, and, frankly, I’m truly grateful.
But now, my darlings, it’s time to go! My next Pink Tutu Pilgrimage adventure is just around the corner, and it’s time to pack my blush-pink tulle! Don't forget to join me here every Wednesday at www.pink-tutu.com! I promise to keep sharing my latest adventures in the world of pink tulle, fashion, and, of course… ballet.
Until then… twirl with grace and elegance, and never lose that spark of magic! 💖

Emma, The Pink Tutu Pilgrim 🩰 💕
