We woke up in Prague and started the day with the usual breakfast fare… except this hotel had fresh watermelon. Best I’ve ever had. Seriously, so fresh and sweet!
Then I was ready to go! We started on the coach heading to Castle Hill on a guided tour.
PRAGUE FLASHBACK! (2003 and Now)
PS, can you believe I used to travel with that backpack everywhere?!
They have amazing views of Prague from up there. Then we walked down towards the bridge.
The Charles Bridge is decorated with statues dating back hundreds of years. Some of the originals are still there.
Then we arrived at the Astronomical Clock. Every hour the clock moves and crowds gather below to see it.

After our walking tour ended, we wandered some of the shopping district towards the Museum of Natural History.
PRAGUE FLASHBACK (2003 and Now)
After all that walking, we found a snack! This was like a sweet pretzel roasted on a rod.
There wasn’t a line to go up the clock tower, so we went up to get some views of the town.
This is the view you see on postcards everywhere.
Then we saw the crowds gathering below and we knew it was the top of the hour!
After the clock chimed, a trumpeter plays up in the tower!
And then it was time for another snack!
This time we tried a typical Czech delicacy. It was a fried dough with garlic and cheese. Delicious!
Correction: This is actually a Slovak delicacy. Thanks loyal readers!
Later, we walked over to the Jewish Quarter where they have one the oldest Synagogues in Europe.
And the we walked back over the Charles Bridge one more time.
We enjoyed dinner with our group while they played traditional Czech Music while we ate.
And the vegetarian for me (sorry, but I don’t eat duck! Irving said it was good though!)
And dessert were sweet crepes! I could have just ate those! Amazing.
A group of people headed out to the clubs after dinner, but we opted to walk around the city and take some night photos instead.
I fell in love with Prague again for the second time. Hopefully someday there will be a third!
Next stop: Vienna!
I want to go to Prague. It looks so pretty. It’s definitely up there on my list but seeing your post made me want to go even more.
I wouldn’t eat duck either. No thanks.
Hi,
Nice story. Let me just a little correction.
“This time we tried a typical Czech delicacy. It was a fried dough with garlic and cheese. Delicious!”
This is not a Czech specialty, but Slovak one.
Take care. Regards, GeeZer.
Oh thank you! I will update the post!
