Last week I spend two days in Prague, which is the capital of the Czech Republic. Although I have already been there twice, this amazing city has always something new to explore. My last visits took place in September 2006 and in December 2008, so now I could see the city in another season too. The weather was so hot that my spring trip turned out to be rather a summer one. The tour was organised by the travel agency located at our faculty (PTE-BTK). The participants were mainly university students, and fortunately one of my best friends, Rebeka, has also managed to come. We had a great time in Prague and now I'm about to share my adventures.
We departured from Pécs on Friday evening and spent the whole night on the bus. Though I had already slept on buses several times before, I can't get used to the uncomfortable conditions. Thus, I arrived to Prague on Saturday morning rather sleepy and fretfully. But this city is so engaging and lively that I needed only half an hour and a cup of coffee to get ready for the sightseeing. The walking tour involved some places that were new for me as well. For instance, the Tower of the City Hall. Although I had seen it from the outside before, I had never had the courage to go up there. This time I didn't want to miss it. This idea turned out to be half good and half bad, since I have agoraphobia. But the amazing view finally conquered my horror of heigh. Here are two photos I took up there:
Later on we had a walk in the Jewish Quarter, and of course passed the Charles Bridge, that should not be missed by anyone visiting Prague. There's also a legend, that is, if you touch the golden figures on the bridge, your wish may come true. Since I'm pretty superstitious, I took advantage of the opportunity.
In the evening we had free time from the group so Rebeka and I decided to go to the downtown and drink something. And what to choose in Prague was not a question. Of course, beer was our choice.
Next day our tour continued in the Castle of Prague, where we unfortunately couldn't get into one of the most famous and beautiful churches of the city. There were so many tourists that we hadn't got the time to queue. :( In the afternoon the group together visited the most well-known inn of the town, U Fleku. Their beer is local made and the place itself was also above expectations with its garden area and live folk music.
We left Prague only in the evening and I came home with a lot of photos, a nice tan, and unforgettable memories.
