We took a train to Prague because after the car fiasco in Italy we couldn't take a car with an Italian license plate into the Czech Republic. I had never ridden a train like that before, so it was very exciting, except it would've gotten there a lot faster if it hadn't had to stop so many times...The first photo is just some nice buildings; Prague has a lot of old nice architecture.
Second, I can't remember which church that is, but the monument in front has Czech reformer Jan Hus. It's in Old Town, but Prague has a ton of churches, consistent with European style.

Third and fourth are the Old Town Hall and then the close up of the astronomical clock that is on the side of the Hall tower.
Fifth, well, sorry, I can't remember what that was either (we took a several hour city tour, and Prague has a LOT of notable buildings), but it was significant for some reason.
Sixth is just a view of Prague, another city with water!
The remainder of these photos are exterior and interior of St. Vitus Cathedral on the grounds of Prague Castle. A magnificent cathedral with lots of beautiful stained glass and much ornamentation.
Prague was a great city with a lot of history, and I was glad we took a tour, because there is no way we could have found out all the significance on our own, especially being unfamiliar with the Czech language. I would definitely recommend a visit if you ever get the chance, but be careful of pickpockets and taxi drivers. Everyone warns you of that, and we were even warned on our audio tour! However, if you are interested in Prague for what it can share with you, then Prague should be good to you as well.
