A Weekend in Prague

Working abroad is enriching as always, and my office is great. But my 8:30 - 6:00 work day is starting to wear me down, so my lovely colleague (and great friend) Cas proposed a long weekend in Prague. After a little battle for days off, we booked our tickets and hopped the border!

Staroměstské náměstí, Prague's Old Town Square

Straight off of our bus, we managed to navigate the subway and find the centre. Prague's Old Town Square isn't just a beautiful place to be. It's a great starting point for finding your way around, and a good place to stop for something to eat.

Vlatava River

This is the Vlatava River, and just out of shot, to the right, is the famous Charles IV Bridge. We spent our first afternoon in the cafe on the river, right next to the famous bridge. 

St Vitus Cathedral

St Vitus Cathedral is in the centre of Pražský hrad (Prague Castle), and is one of the most stunning pieces of architecture we had ever seen. We made the right decision in taking an entire day to look around the Castle: it's the largest ancient castle in the world. 

        

Juice stand near Petrin Tower

Petrin Tower

On our last day we decided to climb the hill towards Petrin Tower - Prague's smaller version of the Eiffel Tower. On our way up, we found a cute little juice stall and stopped for a refreshing smoothie, a must if you haven't opted for the funicular.
