Prague Day 3


The Prague Castle was first up. We walked around the castle grounds enjoying the gardens and landscape. What used to be a moat around the castle, is now a beautiful area to walk in. After passing by the Loreta, we had lunch at an outdoor restaurant that had an excellent view of the city. Next we visited the library \ museum in the Strahov Monestery. Petrin Hill and the Observation Tower were next. The tower is a miniature version of the Eiffel Tower in Paris (so don’t be confused) as well as a great mirror maze! Our next stop was the Vysehrad Castle and Park. In the suburbs of Prague, it has a great view of the river, a beautiful church, and an interesting cemetery. To finish the day, we had our dinner at The Original Needle House Restaurant followed by a Saxophone Quartet performance at the Municipal House Theater. The city is know for opera, orchestra and theatre - Mozart premiered Don Giovanni here - and they also have interesting black light theaters. Prague is also known for its bohemian glassware and Frank Gehry's dancing house.That was a full day! Click these links to see pictures from the day.
