Beautiful Czech Architecture

Prague is in the center of the Bohemia region of the Czech Republic, and home to some of the most beautiful architecture I've ever seen. The heart of Prague is filled with cobblestone roads lined with colorful buildings and interesting statues. The Prague Castle sits on a hilltop with red roofed buildings below it. We had a great time seeing the Cathedral, old Royal Palace, and especially Golden Lane where small shops were hidden under the great walls surrounding the castle. That little blue box below is for post and I used it to send a postcard with special Prague castle stamps.

Our Airbnb was right next to a bell tower and we climbed up 300+ steps to see views of the city and learn a bit of history. The bell tower was built before the church and originally served as a fire lookout, then it was taken over by Soviet spies during the Cold War, and in 2002 it predicted the largest flood in Prague's history when one of it's bells broke earlier that year. Every place we visited had it's own unique story or an interesting façade that was fascinating.

When the sun set in the evening the city lit up and we saw a whole new side of Prague. We enjoyed a drink at the top of the Dancing House. Prague Castle makes a beautiful reflection on Vltava river. We strolled past street vendors selling chimney cakes in front of the opera house. The old church in town square and the surrounding buildings were all glowing each night.

Prague is like a fairytale city with so much to see and do.
