Walking around this ancient capital, the first fact you may noticed was that the name Czech Republic is synonymous with Bohemia. This word is written and mentioned everywhere and the people are very proud of their history. The second fact you would noticed is that Czechs love their beer. The ubiquitous pubs are great places to hang out and meet people. Most pubs brew their own beer and they taste great. This city teems with all kinds of culture for everyone. I really enjoyed my time here.
Old Town
Old Town Square with the Church of Our Lady before Týn in the backgroundAstronomical Clock Tower, Old Town Squarethe Astronomical Clock, its oldest mechanism was installed in 1410 and still functioning. Composed of 3 parts: the astronomical dial that represents the position of the Sun and Moon, the Walk of the Apostles, and a calendar dial. Every hour people gather below to watch the apostles and other figures parade out from the top windows. These moving figures were quite a sight to see.Old Town SquareOld Town SquareOld Town Square

John Lennon Wall. Back in the 80s young Czechs would paint their government grievances on this stretch of wall. The police would paint over it, then the people would write graffiti all over again. This is the current state of the wall, and is now considered a symbol of love, peace, and other ideals.

Charles Bridge, a historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river. It connects the Castle District with the Old Town. It is usually lined with art vendors and performers.Charles Bridgethe Madonna and Child, one of the sculptures lining the Charles BridgeCharles Bridge sculptures

hearty Czech meal!Trdelník. I love this stuff! I first saw these in Budapest and makes a really good snack. It is made from rolled dough that is wrapped around a stick, then grilled and topped with cinnamon, or sugar and walnut mix.a remnant of the original city wall can be seen below the surface, inside the metro linePrague rooftops“I have found myself where I got lost…”
