Czech Republic Prague 2013



Prague   is the Capital of The Czech Republic with a history dating back  more than a thousand year. Its beauty is equalled that of Paris. Old Town Prague is a must visit with is historic buildings, cafes, restaurants and bars. Old Town Square  prides itself with many historic pieces like the Astronmical Clock, The  Jan Hus Monument. 

pastel houses of the Little Square, the many markets that are held here and the Gothic Church of Our Lady before Týn, with its looming twin towers, ‘Adam and Eve’. 



Our walk started at the Petrin Hills where we found a first available spot to park Our Sorento ...

Prague's Pedestrian Charles Bridge built over the Vltava River in the 1400s is the busiest with tourists, vendors and street musicians in the summer months. A great place to be at night to view the lights of the city. It is lined with statues of Catholic Saints complete with guard towers and gates at each end.  Fantastic view of the Old Town spires can be viewed from the Bridge
