Prague Day 4

On our final day, we started with the National Museum in Wenceslas Square. Many things to see there including Pre-historical, Mineralogical, Zoological, Osteological, Paleontological and Anthropological exhibits. From there, we visited St. Nicholas Church in the Old Town Square. During World War II, Czech army units were stationed there, but now, classical music concerts are held there throughout the year. Next we visited the Old Town Hall Tower and Astronomical Clock. The clock dates back to the 15th century! Every hour there is a procession of the twelve Apostles. The tourists are packed in the square to see this one minute extravaganza! Of course we walked to the top of the tower to enjoy great views of Prague and the surrounding areas. The Church of Our Lady Before Tyn was the final stop in the Old Town Square. This gothic church with a baroque interior dominates one side of the square. It’s especially beautiful at night. After some shopping, we enjoyed dinner in another cellar restaurant while watching the US play the Czech Republic in the Ice Hockey World Championships. We concluded our evening with our final walking tour, the “Ghost Trail”, where we heard scary stories about ghosts in Prague. See pictures from the Old Town Square here. Prague is a MUST SEE city - make sure to put in on your list of European cities to visit =)
