Prague - yes it's as good as everyone says it is.

We both loved Prague! It was as good as everyone says it is.

Originally our plan was to spend two nights in Venice and two nights in Prague but at some point on our travels, after we'd heard for the hundredth time how good Prague is, we decided to shorten our Venice trip to one night and increase our Prague trip to three nights.

We arrived in the early afternoon and explored the local area. We also finally got some washing done!

Second day we went to see the opera house, Charles bridge and astronomical clock (which is pretty amazing - it was built in 1410 and it's still running today!). Then we went to Prague castle (I'll talk about in a separate post).

Astronomical Clock

Third day we wondered around the old Jewish area, went to Wenceslas Square and saw a statue of St Wenceslas. We also decided to go see a classical concert because there were heaps on offer and we thought it would be something memorable to do. We decided to go to a concert at the Opera house, even though it cost more than the other concerts, because we thought that would be the best place to go to experience a classical concert. When we turned up though we were disappointed to find that it wasn't held in the main concert hall but instead in a back room (which was nice, but much smaller than we were expecting). I assume they don't use the main hall because it is Winter time. But the concert was very good nonetheless. And not something we would normally do back in Melbourne. So we were happy.

Then it was time to pack yet again.. and set off on the next day for Berlin and the hospitality of Jack and Polina.
