Prague - Old Town Street Views, Window Shopping and Snack

After touring the Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, we walked through Old Town Prague looking at the buildings. We were released to shop and enjoy the local sights and tastes.

The orangeness of this building caught my eye.



An old cathedral in town.

Nice green spaces set aside

The city was packed with tourgroups.

Different styles of building facades

"I Love Prague" comes in all shapes and sizes.

Bags and T Shirts.

Key chains, cups, you name it.

The streets wind throughout.


Fancy jewelry

A tea set!

Musical decorations

Street signs.
This was not a lot of help.  Good thing that they
use pictures for those who don't know the
language.

Franze Kafky - museum (not the man in the photo)

The tower. People were on top.  

There was an Easter Market in the main square.

A lot of food and decorations to buy

Nice stores surrounded the square.

I decided to get a snack.  As my first introduction
to the currency, I selected a piece of pizza that I
thought was priced for a slice. It was for the
WHOLE pizza!!

It needed a touch of the local brew.

And topped off with a nice espresso.

The cafes are around the perimeter of the square.
The little booths are brought in for the seasonal
Easter and Christmas market.

This painted Easter egg was HUGE.

The spires looked pretty highlighted by the late
afternoon sun against a perfect blue sky.
