Prague: Mysterious and Alluring

January 20th, 2009 · No Comments

Prague: Beautiful, dark, shrouded in medieval history and wonders. It is a city that attracts people from all the the world. Prague was hard to leave, I fell in love with the city’s center, its heart filled with foreign peoples, new attractions, beautiful women, and a expansive cultural melting pot. This astrological clock can tell you many things and is wholly captivating. Its restaurants and shops filled with intricate and interesting objects, with the special flavor of Eastern Europe. A fusion of east and west, with middle eastern, Moorish, gothic, and baroque influences; Prague brings people together to worship the city’s beauty.

Prague is the seat of Europe’s most ancient and largest castle and dates back to the 9th century. It is seat of the Czech government and one of the world’s most beautiful sites to behold. A true juxtaposition of styles, influences, and cultures, Prague Castle surrounds many structures and is the home of St. Vitus Cathedral.

As I continue to document the journey, my visit to Prague will eventually have its own dedicated page on this site. Most of my pictures will be posted there, and I will announce when the page is ready to be viewed. Until then, enjoy yourself and travel safely!
