P R A G U E, CZECH REPUBLIC

In my opinion Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is a bit similar to Krakow. However, even though I am Polish I have to admit that Prague is much more beautiful than Krakow and I was absolutely charmed by the city.

OLD TOWN SQUARE

The Old Town Square in Prague is full of beautiful buildings all around the square. It is a very atmospheric place and I simply love this kind of amazing European architecture. 

The biggest attraction of the Old Town Square is definitely the medieval Astronomical Clock. Every hour a crowd of tourists wait for the figures of Apostles and other sculptures to appear. The clock itself is really beautiful and the moving figures are a great fun, not only for children, but adults, too.

CHARLES BRIDGE
I would risk saying that the Charles Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world. It is quite wide and long with beautiful sculptures on both sides. Many local artists paint their paintings there, which makes the bridge an artistic place. At least I like this kind of atmosphere. 

The photo below was taken early in the morning when not too many people were present there, but later that day the bridge was crowded with tourists and artists. 

THE HRADCANY

The Hradcany is the district of Prague where the Prague Castle is located. Next to the castle you can find the St Vitus Cathedral, which is my number two when it comes to the beauty of churches after St Peter's Basilica. The interior of the cathedral is stunning.

Close to the cathedral there is a famous Golden Lane with low houses. One of them belonged to the writer Franz Kafka.

DANCING HOUSE

This is an example of a modern architecture which is also visible in this historic city.

My very short trip to Prague was a bit crazy as I went to Prague just for one day. I set off from Krakow late in the evening, spent whole night on the bus to Prague and arrived at the Czech capital city next day early in the morning. The same day in the evening I took the bus back to Krakow. It was absolutely crazy, don't you think so? At the end of the day I was struggling to get to the bus stop as I barely walked and had great difficulty in moving. It took me few days to be able to walk normally after that crazy trip. One way or another I don't regret it as it was worth visiting Prague and I hope to come back there again, but this time definitely for longer:).

I love cities with an artistic soul and beautiful historic architecture and Prague definetely belongs to this group.
