Day 23 - Prague

As we had a full day of sightseeing we set off early today. We jumped on the tram into the city, getting off near Wenceslas Square in the centre of Prague. We had a walk around the square, which isn't really the square we were expecting, before heading through the beautiful streets in the surrounding area to the Powder Tower and the Municipal House.



We had heard a lot about the beauty of Prague and the amazing architecture of the buildings it contains and it doesn't disappoint whilst strolling through the streets. It was turning into another stunning day of our trip as the sun beated down onto us but we plowed on to see one of Pragues main tourist sights, the Astronomical Clock. Every hour between 9am and 9pm, the clock puts on a show like the one we seen in Munich where the bell rings and characters move. This time, two small windows open to reveal the 12 apostles passing by whilst the skeleton on the side of the clock pulls a rope to ring the bell. Its a much shorter show than the Munich one but very entertaining and fun to see.




As there was so much to do and see in Prague and that we have a few days here, we decided to split the city up to do some today and see the castle and its surrounding area tomorrow. We spent the rest of the day just taking in as much of the beautiful city as we could stopping on our way round to have some cheap Czech beer (£1 per pint :D). Some of the sights we seen are in the pictures below, we haven't enough room for them all so these will have to do for the moment lol.
