Prague Castle with the spires of St. Vitus Cathedral in the center
A view of Prague Castle from the banks of the Vltava River. Our hotel was right by the river just down the street

The Czechs really do like graffiti
These are love locks with engraved names
This is called the John Lennon Wall. While the communists were in charge, people would risk prison to cover the wall in paint as an expression of their freedom. It didn't matter how many times the government painted over it, others would cover it. Now it looks like this. I don't know how many layers of paint are on it but it must be many
We stepped inside Wallenstein's Palace grounds for a moment
Then we walked on the Charles Bridge
That was a wonderful experience. It's so beautiful. Lots of people too
They say Prague is the City of Spires. It has over 100
Going back toward Old Town. You can almost see our hotel on the far left.
St. Wenseslas on the Charles Bridge
Then we took a boat ride on the Vltava
The Charles Bridge and Prague Castle
We stayed at the Intercontinental. It was a great hotel in a great location
Nice pool and hot tub
Nice view of the Vltava
They had great breakfasts as well
We climbed the clock tower at the Old Town Square which was just down a few blocks from our hotel
All the people watching the orlaj (clock)
A Minstrel played for us
It was some pretty amazing views
The Orlaj. First built in 1410. The oldest clock in the world still working
