Prague is a lovely city, nicknamed the City of 1,000 Spires.
We're at the Prague Castle looking down on the city.
St. Vitus' Cathedral from the front. Built over many years, destroyed, rebuilt and added onto since 1060, it's an impressive church.
Side view
Flying buttresses!
Charles Bridge (1357), Old Town Bridge Tower and Vltava River
Statues on the Charles Bridge were placed here to inspire the Bohemians to become Catholic.
There are 30 statues lining both sides of the bridge.
Street signs- the street name is on top, the area of town is on the bottom
Church of Our Lady Before Tyn- by night
by day
The Astronomical Clock
Nearly all of it survived WWII bombings, while part of the adjoining building was hit. It does a "song and dance" every hour with 12 Apostles at the two, blue doors and four people/figures on the sides of the astronomical calendar.
The four figures represent things that were hated: Vanity, Jews, Death and Turks.
The Castle
The happy travelers
NOT the same as the American beer.
"Fred and Ginger," the Dancing House
Wenceslas Square- this is where the actions happens.
Wenceslas Square and me!
