My friend and I just got back from a nice vacation to Prague! It’s a beautiful city, rich in history, art, and architecture. We spent 5 days there, which was just a tad too long for me, but we were able to explore the city at a leisurely pace.
We took the Eurolines Bus to Prague from Berlin. It was only a 4 hr. 30 min. ride with a quick stop in Dresden. Our trip was somewhat last-minute (we booked everything less than a week prior!), so the only hotel (cheap hotel :)) left was a Botel. That is a room on a boat!
Our room was pretty cozy, but it was old and it definitely showed! It was a nice experience, and we had a great view outside our window, however I don’t think I’d stay there again.
We met many people; Russians, Italians, Australians, and I even met a fellow Texan. I was very surprised to hear everyone speaking English around me. I don’t even hear that much English being spoken here in Berlin! My friend said it was just because we were in the touristy parts of the city.
I have quite a few experiences to share, luckily I have many photos to help explain! I’ll be posting more about Prague over the next few days!
Picture perfect…like postcards! My sister says that Prague is her fave city in all of Europe, just gorgeous! Looks like it from these pics!!
Thank you, Barb! That’s wonderful that Prague is your sister’s fave city in Europe! I feel the city is overlooked a little, compared to other cities like London, Paris, Madrid, etc. It’s a really beautiful city, I’m glad I had the chance to visit!
The shots are spectacular…Prague is such a beautiful place….

Thank you very much, Pankaj! Indeed, Prague is gorgeous! 🙂
What gorgeous photos. I’ve heard Prague is a beautiful city
Thank you! 🙂 Prague was never really on my top places to visit, but I’m happy I was able to visit!
Loved the Charles Bridge sunset photo!!! It’s been a while since I went to Prague, would love to go back…
Thanks a bunch! I think that photo may be my favorite from the trip! I was obsessed with that bridge, I couldn’t get enough of it! 🙂
Beautiful photos! I look forward to seeing more!
Thank you, Connie! It makes me happy to hear this! 😀
Wonderful images that should be in the tourist brochures promoting Prague.
Wow! Thank you for such a nice comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
You are more than welcome
We spend 5 days in Prague and loved it. http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/20/900-years-of-architectural-legacy-why-prague-is-a-royal-empress/
Nice post! I recognize the places in your photos, however, one looked different. The photo of Wenceslas Square. I didn’t see any type of garden around the city, except by the castle. I believe maybe they were damaged by the floods a few months ago. Thanks for sharing!
A flood too. We just had a damaging one here in Calgary, Alberta this past June.
