Cheap flights from Aberdeen to Prague from £122

In the last quarter of the 9th century, Prague Castle was founded by duke Bořivoj I from the Přemyslid family. This fortress is the main symbol of Czech statehood: earlier Czech kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire lived here; now, it is the Czech president's residence.

Trdelník is a delicious chimney cake with different toppings or simply sugar. Although it is believed that trdelnik came to the Czech Republic from Slovakia, today no holiday in Prague is complete without this bun. You don't have to go to a restaurant to taste trdelnik — it is sold right on the streets.

In many restaurants in Prague, you can order a whole baked duck with fruit for a big company — this is a signature, beautifully served dish. You can also often find stewed duck legs or duck fillets with fruit or berry sauce on the menu.
