Doing the City walk

We walked and walked through the main tourist attractions in Prague, and the photos that we took do not even begin to capture the beauty of everything that we saw.

This is a great room or main hall in the old Prague Castle. The castle grounds are actually a series of buildings, and we enjoyed going through them on this trip to view the interiors and the exhibits that are on display inside.


The photo below is of the main mosaic above the doors of St. Vitus's Cathedral, which is located in the inner courtyard of the Castle. It is amazing to see how many little tiny tiles were used to create this beautiful mosaic.


After leaving the Castle, we walked across the Vltava River. Just one of the views!


Old Town Square at night is phenomenal- especially during the Christmas season. The buildings that appear to be golden in the photo below were built by the Communists to hide the entrace to the church whose spires are visible behind them. Tom & I finally did find the entrance, and this was one of the most beautiful churches that we saw.

Another view of those same church spires from one of the small streets in Old Town.



The Christmas tree in Old Town Square. The tower in the background is the clock tower.

This is one of the main tourist attractions in Old Town- the Astronomical Clock that has moving figures that appear every hour when the clock strikes. They are hard to see in the video, but you get the idea of why the Square is always packed with tourists waiting for the clock to do its thing!
