Travel With Me: Prague, Cheque Republic

Hello Steemit Friends,

Please keep reading, as I want to introduce you to one of my favorite places to visit: Prague. Did you know that Prague was once the seat of a mighty empire? During Charles IV’s rule, this was his “Bohemian Kingdom”, aka the “ancient capital”. Thanks to Tourism, what was once rundown buildings, is now fine restaurants, stylish hotels, stunning buildings, and beautiful majestic squares.

Prague’s city center is compact. From Wenceslas Square to the Prague’s main castle attraction is only a 3o minutes stroll. This is from one end of the city to the other. You don’t need a vehicle to get around. Actually, I highly recommend walking.

In addition to the pure beauty Prague has to offer, there is opera, ballet, and classical concerts as well. Performances are held all year round in glorious opera houses, impressive concert halls, and ancient churches. Below is an example of one of the beautiful churches. (After taking the picture I was yelled at by a guard… I hadn’t known pictures were not allowed. Sorry buddy, I only wanted a picture to share with my Steemit friends... Jeez) I cannot recall the name of this church.

Prague restaurants enjoy a reputation for serving delicious dishes. Below is an actual Beef Cheek. Although it was not my dish, I had a few bites, and it really was amazing.

Czech pubs serve hearty food, and well-priced drinks. If you are looking for “finer” restaurants, Prague has it all! Fine dining can be enjoyed in a range of settings from intimate cellars, to riverside eateries, to rooftop restaurants where visitors can examine the whole city while enjoying their delicately prepared meal!

Live, Love, Travel, and Try Food! This was seriously the BEST ice cream in Prague (Yes, I went around and tried quite a few) I even went back to this place for seconds!

We all have heard of Prague’s lively history of invasions, have we not? Well, apparently, the Old Town Square has remained relatively untouched since about the 10th Century (at least this is what I was told by a local). Swarms of tourists crowd the historical streets, packing the restaurants daily. The square itself is the perfect place to admire the outstanding architecture Prague has to offer. And if admiring buildings aren’t really your thing, there are street performers, musicians, and merchants ready to entertain you!

In the Old Town Square, there is a clock, but not just any clock. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a clock so large! Every hour, hundreds of travelers from all over the world wait with cameras ready. They wait for a fascinating mechanical performance, which in the Middle Ages would have been considered one of the wonders of the world. This clock has been around for over 600 years, and has and still remains one of the cities greatest treasures! Below I have added a photo of this very clock:

Over-all, Prague was one of the cheapest cities in all of Europe. Our Canadian dollar went far here!

Here are the remainder of the photos I took from Prague! Enjoy!!

I loved the looks of this door! What do you think?
