Prague Day 2

We started the day with another walking tour offered by Prague City Walks. This time, it was a comprehensive tour called “Prague Insider”. The four hour tour enabled us to see many of the crucial aspects of the city including the Old Town, the New Town, the Jewish Quarter, and the Prague Castle. New Town is only 100 years newer than Old Town and is the main retail street of the city and the location where the Velvet Revolution took place. Old Town was formerly a market place and the main crossroads of eastern and western Europe (which is why Prague was a very rich city in the past). The Jewish Quarter is a beautiful area that contains Europe's oldest synagogue and an amazing cemetery that contains over 12k people in 12 layers. After an excellent lunch, we strolled through the Mala Strana (or Lesser Town) area. A nice area filled with cobblestone side streets, shops, churches, pubs, and restaurants. The way back to the old town takes you over the Charles Bridge. Built in the 13th Century, yes its 700 years old, it’s a must see for tourists. Finally, we finished our evening with a nice dinner at Escape Restaurant Café. See these pictures - Castle, Old Town, New Town, Jewish Quarter, Rivers, Parks.
