Prague Is Always A Good Idea!

Prague is always a good idea. We’ve been to Prague before and the feeling is much the same as one feels about Paris. 

The Charles Bridge is one of the loveliest events while there.  I call it an event because artists have their easels set up and are painting, others are making jewelry and selling it, some are playing instruments. One man was playing a trumpet, another a violin and yet another was strumming his guitar and singing. 

There is a statue of John the Baptist pointing at the Prague Castle, and many more statues. There are a lot of tourists taking pictures. The Vitava River is beautiful and flows through the center of Prague.  

The church you see in the pictures, is Our Lady of Prague Church. It’s gorgeous with its gold altar and as you can see, I was getting ready to hear confessions. 

We took the Funicular to the top of the mountain to where the castle is, since we had seen the castle on our last visit, we decided to have a walk around the enormous and beautiful park. It’s like another whole city when you get up there. We even came across the Monastery Beer and Wine Cellars beer garden, we had a beer and met a very nice couple from Chicago.  

The red car you see in the pictures, is in town center and you can rent it and be taken on a tour around Prague. 

On our walk around old town, we came across two young women who were playing the Bassoon, well they weren’t playing, because there was a young man who I think was more infatuated with the girls then the instruments. Since we didn’t get to hear them play, I pulled it up on You Tube and had a listen, it is a beautiful instrument with a nice sound.  

The Astronomical Clock tower is in Old Town Prague and was first installed in 1410. It is the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating.  

Prague is certainly a city worth returning to.
