What good is a Europe trip if you don’t see more than one view?

SO . . . I decided to hop on over to Prague!

Words cannot describe how BEAUTFUL Praha is. The Czech Republic is a central European country, one could even make the argument that it is THE central country of Europe. The Czech Republic is a country that is known for its ornate castles, cheap as dirt beer, and long history.

My first stop after getting off the plane was checking in to my hostel, the Czech Inn, punny I know. The accommodations were nice and clean with a friendly and informed staff. The hostel itself was situated in Praha 10, which is a stones throw away from Praha 1, central Prague.

This capital city is actually located right on the Vltava River, giving Prague one of its most spectacular landscapes and one of its most pictured tourist attractions.

Day 1 consisted of me visiting: the Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, the Golden Lane, the #1 tourist attraction Charles Bridge, Cafe Louvre, Malostranska Beseda where St. Nicholas’ Church is located, and a small restaurant that served a delicious beer based Goulash.

Day 2 I visited: the Old Town (stare mesto), the Astronomical Clock, the Municipal building, Powder Tower, Letna Park, Tyn Church, Kampa Park in Mala Strana, Wenceslas Square, Josefor (Jewish Quarter), the Strahov Monastery, and a taste of trdelník (pronounced trdlo) a famous Czech chimney cake/pastry with nutella.

My two packed

(but too short for my liking) days was filled with awe and a sense of inner peace. Traveling alone is always a daunting thought, but when you are headed to destinations such as the wondrous Prague, the journey morphs into something highly anticipated. My memories of this country will last me a lifetime. I experienced such an overwhelming sense of peace and happiness whilst relaxing on Charles Bridge just gazing at all the medieval statues and people watching, whilst climbing the steep incline to the Castle on the hill, and just absorbing the bustling and welcoming warmth of the city to all its visitors and citizens. If given the opportunity, I would go to visit/study/live/anything in Prague in a heartbeat.
