Prague- the pearl of Europe

Prague is known as the pearl of Europe, and it isn´t hard to tell why. Consequently, it is swarming with tourists peak season!

The over-rated astronomical clock.

The Alexander bridge

Prague´s fairytale castle

In Prague we:

- Admired the pastel buildings and diverse range of architectural styles- Gothic, Cubist, Modern, and ugly Communist buildings.

- Saw the famous astronomical clock- bit overrated truthfully.

- Saw a puppet opera show- Prague seems obsessed with both so we thought we would experience both at the same time.

- Took a relaxing boat tour along the Vlatva river.

- Got separated on the tram system- stressful!

- Drank beer at the famous U Zlateho Tygra and sampled Czech food.

Overall impressions:

- The prettiest city I have seen so far- it doesn´t seem as dark as other cities.

- FULL OF TOURISTS! It is a little ironic that WE got a bit tired of them.

- Cheap beer- as in Germany.

- It really is a must-see for the architecture and castle!
