Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world and it is home to several palaces, as well as a cathedral, a basilica, and gardens.
We're here now in Novy Svet. It is a cool little neighborhood right behind the castle. Here we are at the
Kafka Museum. This museum is dedicated to him and his work and you'll find some of his letters, diary entries and photographs inside.
Stroll along the John Lennon Wall and you'll encounter portraits of
Lennon and
Yoko Ono.
Right now we are visiting Prague's TV Tower and the strangest thing about this structure is that there are babies crawling up and down. Have a look. Up next we have a big plate of Goulash.
Saint Vitus is a
Gothic cathedral located within the walls of Prague Castle.
Inside you'll be able to admire beautiful stained glass windows designed in the art nouveau style. Inside the KGB Museum you'll find old propaganda as well as some unusual pieces like a copy of
Lenin's death mask. The Golden Lane gets its name because legend has it that
Emperor Rudolph was a fan of alchemy.
Charles Bridge is one of the most popular landmarks in the city. If you walk across during the day, you'll find musicians, artists, and vendors selling souvenirs. When in Prague you can check out the Astronomical Clock. It goes off every hour and it is right in the heart of the Old Town. You can't come to Prague and not sample the street food. One particularly popular item is the Trdlenik. Petrin Tower stands 63 meters high on a hill overlooking Prague. It slightly resembles the
Eiffel Tower in
Paris. Vyšehrad is a historical fort located in the city of Prague. In my hand here
I've got myself a Pilsner beer and this is like a Czech institution. The Jeleni Prikop Park located right behind Prague Castle is a great place for a picnic or a little nap on the grass. Also one cool little fact.
Even though the National Museum is currently closed you can still attend musical performances in the evening.
The Dancing House is a building which stands out from the rest, done in the deconstructionist style. Here I've got Absinthe in my hand. It is an Anise flavored spirit and it is extremely popular here in Prague. Another cool thing you can do is visit the
Miniature Museum where you can see microscopic art. The Mucha Museum pays homage to
Alphonse Mucha, and it's a must visit if you enjoy art nouveau. And that sums up our visit to Prague! Our one week in the city left us charmed and it's a place that we'd be happy to revisit again.
