Prague is an incredible city! We absolutely love it! They have really great food, lots of history, and a wonderful city feel. Even though they are lots of tourists everywhere, we still felt the local spirit.
Prague was never bombed during WWII, so all the original buildings remain. Thus, it's a lot more beautiful than most of the cities we've been through so far. It has architecture from multiple centuries, including fantastic churches and the large Powder Tower.
Prague also has great history, complete with many defenestrations and even holding the catalyst of the 30 Years War. The 30 Years War was fought over religion, Catholics versus Protestants, and it killed 10% of the population. On contrast, WWII only killed 7% of the European population. Wow. And it had an intense Jewish ghetto, where all the Jews were forced to live.
The pictures show the Franz Kafka memorial, a Jewish cathedral in Morish style, the sunset over the river from Charles Bridge, some subway art, the National Museum, other random beautiful buildings, and the dual-tailed lion, which is a symbol of Bohemia. And finally a menu serving Harney & Sons tea :)
There is so much to see in Prague and it's all beautiful. We want to come back here!
Stay tuned for part 2
