I. LOVE. PRAGUE.
I. LOVE. PRAGUE.
Definitely my favorite trip/European city to date. It was amazing! The city itself is just beautiful, every time you turn a corner there’s another breath-taking church, tower, bridge, what have you. Absolutely gorgeous. Still developing from communist control until 1989 with the Velvet Revolution the Czech Republic has a very different feel to it than any other city I have been to. Very much a hopeful attitude amidst a somber remembrance of a time without freedom. I found it very inspirational.
Prague is also dirt cheap. What you pay for a morsel of food in Copenhagen will get you a 3-course meal in Prague and that is just what we did. Although the waiters were rather scummy (Rick Steves warned us about this) and for example would bring us bread to the table and we would later find it on our bill. But a small downside to an otherwise amazing experience, I wish I had had more than 2 days to see the whole city but as it was I think we did a fantastic job of cramming in the big sights as well as some off the beaten path places in our sightseeing.

Palace Cathedral
Stain glass window in Cathedral re-done in the 1930s and designed by Alphonse Mucha, it details the chronology of Czech Catholicism. It is just beautiful.
