Hello darlings! It's Emma here, your pink-tutu-loving blogger, back with a brand new post from the absolutely stunning city of Prague.
Oh my, where to begin?! I've finally made it to Prague, the magical city that's been calling my name for months! You know, the thought of all that fairytale architecture, the cobblestone streets, the grand old buildings - and did I mention the delicious cakes?!
I decided to travel to Prague by train - my trusty sidekick for any grand adventure. The journey through the rolling green hills, dotted with charming villages, was like stepping out of a storybook. Arriving at Prague's magnificent main station was quite the sight! Such beautiful gothic-style architecture - even the station was a bit of a fairytale.
Tutus on the Track: A Little Journey Prep
Of course, a ballet-obsessed blogger like myself couldn't travel to Prague without a bit of Tutu Flair! My favourite pink tutu - a whimsical one with sparkling sequins - had to be packed. For this adventure, I chose a comfy, floral-printed maxi-dress with delicate ballet-inspired lace detailing - a perfect mix of girlish charm and Parisian chic. Let's just say I definitely made heads turn in Prague's beautiful station. It's not every day you see a ballerina in a tutu hopping off a train!
And to top off the ensemble? Well, my darling, it had to be the newest addition to my hat collection - a pastel pink fedora, accented with a miniature pink feather!
Prague's Ballet Buzz: The Pink Tutu Destination Guide
This week's ballet itinerary is a whirlwind of Parisian romance and grand, fairytale-esque architecture! First on the agenda: a ballet class in Prague’s enchanting Old Town Square! Can you imagine practicing pirouettes in front of the Astronomical Clock, its medieval figures dancing for a whole different audience?
Speaking of fairytale, I am positively thrilled to be attending the world-renowned Prague Ballet's performance of Swan Lake at the historic National Theatre. A classic ballet like Swan Lake is something I adore - especially here, in a city so rich in history and beauty.
Now, Prague isn't just about grand ballet shows - it's also about finding the magical in the everyday. So, I'll be venturing into the world of street ballet to find the dazzling talent hidden among Prague's cobblestones! I can already picture a scene: sunlight dappling down, a ballerina dancing by a fountain - a ballet flash mob in a stunning Baroque square! swoon
A Little Pink Tutu Shopping Spree: Finding the Prague Sparkle
Of course, no trip to Prague would be complete without a shopping spree - even a pink tutu enthusiast needs to refresh her wardrobe, right?! Prague is absolutely overflowing with independent designers, charming boutiques, and of course, those gorgeous old-fashioned markets.
I've heard whispers of a particularly unique boutique selling handmade ballet shoes and costumes. It’s like a fairy tale shop, overflowing with tulle, glitter and feathers! This place sounds utterly divine - perfect for finding a few exquisite accessories to complete my pink-tutu-inspired wardrobe for the week.
And speaking of exquisite, Prague's cakes deserve a special shoutout! Imagine creamy, indulgent, decadent treats overflowing with cherries, whipped cream, and dreamy toppings... Prague's bakeries are simply too good to resist. Just make sure you don’t miss those irresistible trdelnik pastry treats - they're warm, sweet and the perfect fuel for all those twirls and pliés!
Prague, Pink Tutus, and the Dream of Ballet
From my cosy cafe with views of the magical Charles Bridge, I can already feel the enchantment of this city seeping into my bones. It’s no wonder this place is a dream come true for a ballerina. The historical sights, the incredible beauty of the city, and its ballet culture all contribute to a sense of timeless beauty that truly inspires my passion.
Prague is simply a place where ballet feels utterly magical. Even with the gentle rustle of my pink tutu swirling around me as I walk, the entire city seems to hold its breath for a grand performance.
Stay tuned, darling! There's more where that came from... Next week, I'll share my insights into the historical significance of Prague's ballet culture, and of course, my grand experiences at the Prague Ballet's Swan Lake performance!

Love, Emma
P.S. You know how much I love pink tutus, and sharing my love of ballet, so I’m planning to bring the Pink Tutu Dream to Prague! Join me at Old Town Square on Saturday afternoon, right in front of the Astronomical Clock - we’ll be having a tutu party, doing some light ballet moves, and creating a bit of Prague pink magic! So, come dressed in your favourite pink tutu (it's not mandatory, but definitely encouraged!)
Let’s spread the joy of ballet and a little pink tutu magic across the world!
