Prague, Czech Republic

Another Tour of Europe post! This time featuring...PRAGUE! While Praha was very tourist-y, it was still a highlight of the trip--seemingly quintessential Europe. :)







The lilacs were all in bloom during our time in Praha. Particularly in the yard of this (beautiful) church, which was almost just a field of lilacs. It smelled so sweet, and wandering around through the huge lilac bushes made me feel like I was in Alice and Wonderland. Haha :)








View of Praha over the Vltava River, Charles Bridge at the forefront.









This door was massive.









My favorite building in Praha, I believe it was a synagogue. With Henry's Tower in the background.








One of the turrets from the above building.










St. Vitus Cathedral on the Prague Castle grounds









Inside St. Vitus








Detailed ceiling murals








Saint Wenceslas Square, with the National Museum in the background. Yes, this is the "good king" from our Christmas song, but as it turns out he was a saint, not a king. Interesting.
















There were some incredible stained glass windows!










A simple image to end. This was taken in the dungeons of the castle.
