Although the weather in Prague was not spectacular during our two day visit, all of the sights we got to see made up for it. I take a lot of picture wherever I go, but I definitely set a record while in Prague.
First stop- Old Town Square!
The Astronomical Clock
According to our tour guide, this clock is "their pride and joy" And, honestly, I have a hard time understanding why.
It's very pretty & everything...
Every hour 12 apostles can be seen through these two openings at the top of the tower. And for the finale a man in a funny outfit sounds a horn. (It's actually very similar to Munich's Glockenspiel)
My favorite part about Old-GREAT street food.
YUM crepes
Shocking, I know, but I did not get a crepe. Instead I went for a more traditional Czech food: the Trdelnik.
To make this traditional Czech pastry, dough is wrapped around these spokes, covered in sugar & a special almond mix and cooked over a fire.
So light & fluffy! DELISH
Apparently Prague is known for their architecture. So pretty.
Yes-there is a TGI Friday smack dab in the middle of Old Town. Kinda contradictory.
The Church of Our Lady of Victory
And inside...
Baby Jesus!
This baby Jesus is a huge deal in Prague. Everywhere you go people are selling little wax figurines, calendars, etc with this image of baby Jesus. The church even dresses this doll of baby Jesus up in different outfits for different occasions.
Entrance to Charles Bridge
And right next door- a five story club. I heard it may be fun to stop by once, but no more than that.
Foggy day in Prague!
Touch the stars, make a wish and it will come true exactly a year later.
St. John
We saw statues of him EVERYWHERE.
Where a scene of Mission Impossible was filmed
Gorgeous view
The thinnest street in the world
The Peeing statues
Paris copy cats
The Goblin that lives under the bridge
Our first day in Prague we did so much! We were going non-stop from 9:30am until dinner time. Let's just say this post doesn't even cover half of what did on day one. Soo exhausting. But of course I am so glad I waited to collapse until I got to the hostel.
