#PinkTutuPrague Ballet in Prague 2022-07-27

Hello, darlings! It's your favourite tutu-clad traveller, Emma, here, reporting live from the enchanting city of Prague. This week's post is all about ballet, fashion, and a city that’s positively overflowing with both! So, grab your pinkest teacup and settle in for a tale of tutus, trains, and a dash of theatrical magic…

I’ve always been a train girl, you know. The rhythmic chug, the landscapes rolling past… it’s pure escapism. This time, the journey was especially enchanting – I was on my way to Prague, a city that had been dancing in my dreams for months!

The train station was abuzz with the anticipation of holidaymakers, each one clutching a travel guide like a precious jewel. But I held something else – a carefully rolled up pink tulle masterpiece. Yes, darlings, my pink tutu, naturally. Because what’s a trip to Prague without a little flair?

The train itself was like stepping back in time, with velvet seats and old-fashioned windows. But the view… oh, the view! Fields of sunflowers shimmering under the midday sun, picturesque villages, and then – the most dramatic sight of all – Prague itself, rising up from the distance like a fairytale. My heart danced with excitement!

Prague greeted me with open arms (and a wonderfully fresh, slightly salty breeze!). I checked into my little boutique hotel, a charming haven with rose-gold chandeliers and a touch of Bohemian elegance. My first order of business – finding the perfect pink dress for tonight’s show. You know me, I can’t go anywhere without a touch of tutu-inspired chic!

After an afternoon of indulging in some delightful window-shopping (oh, the shoes!), I emerged triumphant – armed with a floaty pink number, the perfect companion to my beloved tutu. As I stood before the full-length mirror in my hotel room, I knew this trip was destined to be a fairytale!

That evening, I made my way to the grand National Theatre, a majestic building adorned with intricate carvings and topped with a magnificent golden dome. It was almost too perfect to be true.

Stepping inside was a truly immersive experience. The air crackled with the thrill of anticipation, the velvety seats inviting you to relax, and the majestic, ornately decorated auditorium a testament to centuries of artistic tradition. And then – the music began!

The ballet was "The Nutcracker", a beloved classic that always takes me right back to my childhood. The choreography was captivating – a whirl of elegant limbs, expressive faces, and pure joy. It was ballet at its best – telling a story without words, captivating the senses with the sheer power of movement.

The performance ended, but the enchantment lingered, long after I had left the theatre. The city lights, glittering across the Vltava River, added to the magic, and as I strolled back to my hotel, I couldn’t help but feel that I was living a dream – a pink-tutu-infused dream!

The following day, I explored the heart of Old Town. Cobblestone streets, ornate churches, charming boutiques – Prague is a feast for the eyes! I visited the Astronomical Clock, marvelling at its intricate mechanics and watching the procession of little figures that emerges from its face each hour. It’s like stepping into a storybook!

Of course, I indulged in my passion for vintage fashion – exploring the city’s hidden boutiques, filled with treasures from yesteryear. Prague is a treasure trove of vintage style, and I couldn’t resist snagging a couple of antique lace blouses to add to my tutu collection. They’ll look divine under a floaty, vintage tutu, you know what I mean?

In the afternoon, I decided to go on a leisurely ride on a horse-drawn carriage, drawn by a majestic, well-groomed pony named Ginger. The clomp-clop of the horse’s hooves echoed through the charming, medieval streets, creating an enchanting atmosphere. It was like travelling through time – a little slice of the past in a vibrant, modern city.

And speaking of journeys through time, Prague is a culinary paradise too. I fell head-over-heels for its rich, flavorful cuisine – a delicious mix of German, Austrian, and Bohemian influences. Savoriness, richness, and that "Je ne sais quoi" - Prague’s gastronomy offers a taste adventure for every palate.

Of course, my trips wouldn't be complete without a delicious slice of cake. You wouldn't believe the stunning displays of patisserie, filled with pastries adorned with a sprinkle of sugar or a whimsical flourish of icing. And the aroma - sweet, decadent, and intoxicating.

Afternoons, I wandered through the Old Town Square, soaking up the bustling atmosphere. You could smell the fresh bread and sizzling sausages wafting from street stalls, creating an enticing, gourmand tapestry of smells. And let me tell you, nothing pairs better with a stroll through the Old Town than a piping hot Trdelník! These sugar-coated dough swirls are truly delicious, a quintessential Prague treat.

As I sat by the Vltava River in the evening, the setting sun painting the city in shades of orange and pink, I couldn't help but think how perfect Prague was for my pink tutu dreams. The city's beauty, history, culture, and yes, the deliciousness, all perfectly complemented by the spirit of my favourite fashion piece.

I'm leaving Prague tomorrow, but I’m taking with me a treasure trove of memories and some stunning new additions to my tutu wardrobe. As for my pink tutu itself, well, it’s seen more of the world than ever before! Prague – it's a must-visit for any fashionista, and trust me, a pink tutu is the perfect accessory for exploring this fairytale city!
