Prague, Czech Republic

After Vienna we headed to Prague. In Prague we were greeted with rain and cold weather. Going into Prague a lot of our friends had told us how much they loved the city. We had a couple hiccups during our stay and don't think we gave the city a far shot. I think we would have enjoyed it more in the sunshine!  

Checking out the astronomical clock in Old Town Square. On the hour the clock becomes animated and the 12 apostles appear across the top. Not super high tech but when you realize it was built in the early 1400's its pretty cool. Over all Prague has so much history and is one of the best preserved cities in Europe. It was spared from most of the destruction during WWII. 
Loved the skyline with all the red roofs.

The famous Charles Bridge over the Vltava River

As you can see it was pretty rainy. We hiked up Castle Hill for a beautiful view of the city. I think this picture was taken right before it started to pour.

Stumbled on the remains for a random castle. Well it's probably not that random but I can't remember the name!

Hanging out in Old Town Square. Loved listing to all the street music in the city centre.

I loved all the architecture of the city but overall think we would have enjoyed it more if we stayed closer to the city centre and had better weather. Maybe next time!
