We started our trip to Prague with a walk around the famous Prague Castle.

The St. Vitus Cathedral was as beautiful as I’d been told!

We saw the statue of St. George, a common emblem here, as he slays the dragon.

We had lots of Trdelník, a traditional pastry is Prague.

The inside of the Basilica of St. George.

The Golden Lane was about as crowded as could be. It dates back to th 15th century, and used to be home to the palace goldsmiths.

There was a bunch of kitschy touristy stuff, like a torture chamber.

St. George again!

The Old Royal Palace (current building) dates back to the 14th century, but the original goes all the way to the 9th century!

The inside of St. Vitus Cathedral!

Construction of the current cathedral started in 1344, but there has been a building here since 930!!

The stain glass window done by the famous Mucha, one of my favorite artists.

I have zero idea who is in this coffin but a lot of Russians were VERY interested in it…

The beautiful Charles Bridge.

Old Town Square was absolutely bustling.

We did a tour of the Old Town Hall, which dates back to the 14th century.

These murals of “Slavdom’s Homage to Prague” were made in 1939 and hidden with plaster during WWII in order to protect its images of nationalism.

The 12 Apostles from the medieval astronomical clock, installed in 1410, the third oldest in the world and oldest still in operation.

This room is one of the few that is still completely original in the Old Town Hall (due to fires) and had one of the best preserved medieval ceilings in the world. It dates to the 14th century.

All of this door is original too, including the hinges AND the key!

The underground rooms used to actually be on the ground floor, but were covered in order to mitigate flooding issues in the city.

At one point it was used as a prison, and was covered by graffiti, see the one from 1699?

I ended my time in Prague with beautiful views of the city from the tower! It was a wonderful trip, and so great to see family again!
