One of my favorite experiences in Prague was visiting Czech Marionettes and making my own marionette �. When I first arrived, Lucie, the shop manager, welcomed me with incredible enthusiasm and passion for puppetry. She even gave me a behind-the-scenes tour of their workshop, showing how these beautiful marionettes are crafted. I was so inspired by what I saw that I decided to take a marionette-making class. I love seeking out experiences that capture the spirit of a city, those “only in” moments that feel truly unique. This was the perfect way to connect me to Prague’s centuries-old puppetry tradition while letting me make something personal and memorable. I’d never worked with fabric before, so I just started cutting and wrapping as best I could. I decided on a traveler character complete with a cloth satchel of trinkets and stories. Lucie was patient and helpful at every step and shared that Czech’s puppetry has a long history of storytelling and artistry, and is deeply tied to the country’s culture and traditions. Afterward, I had a lot of fun taking my puppet around Prague and posing it for playful photos, making the experience feel even more interactive and memorable. I would highly recommend Czech Marionettes to everyone since they clearly continue the legacy of this craft, offering visitors a chance to engage with a unique tradition. The skill of the their artists is amazing. The only challenge now is coming up with the perfect name for my puppet!
