Praha I: Monday evening, July 20th




We arrived Monday evening in Prague, and walked from the train station about 45 minutes to the old town (we got lost a lot and was kind of disoriented). The first thing on the list was to find a hotel, and after a few tries, we found a cheaper one with three beds for around 60 Euros. After dropping off our belongings, we went out searching for food.


The old town square dates back to the 12th century and is surrounded by beautiful gothic architecture like the Tyn Cathetral and Clock tower and baroque architecture like St. Nicholas Church. In the center is the Jan Hus memorial statue, I believe Jan Hus was burned at the state in the 14th century because of his beliefs... Like other squares in Europe, old town square is surrounded by restaurants and out door dinning and bustling with people at night.



The Prague Castle on the hill over the Valtava River with its glittering lights in the evening looks like the Walt Disney Castle.
