Prague! Day 3



With a sense of grief from missing out on the castle the day before, we tackled the castle first thing. Many people were probably mad as we jolted past them on the icy sidewalks, forcing them to slip and fall or grab onto their loved ones for support. Nonetheless, we made it to Prague Castle and ventured into its depths. Our first stop was the cathedral, St. Vitus cathedral, inside the castle’s walls. My pictures try to give it justice, but most of us in the group could agree that it was better than Notre Dame. Afterwards, we walked through three separate buildings that included the royal palace, and a shopping district. At the end of our investigation of the castle we found the torture chamber. I will not go into detail about it (And you will not find pictures of it). After a few snowballs thrown at each other inside the castle, we left the castle and walked down to the Jewish Quarter. We did not really venture too far into the museums and temples. We were all pretty tired and decided to walk back. Later on, we met back up with the Fighting Illinini, and went to a bar called Beer Factory. From a business point of view, it was an awesome idea. Everyone had to reserve a table like a restaurant, and there was a beer tap for each table. We ended our night with a long, cold walk back to our hostel. One thing that I definitely recommend to all future travelers, stay in a hotel or hostel that is close to the downtown area. As much as I like to workout, walking thirty minutes to the downtown area is a hindrance.

  1. Yeah I'm looking at hostels/hotels in Florence, and I definitely agree that staying closer to the center is a good idea, I don't wanna deal with a long walk/bus ride every day. Sounds like Prague's an interesting city though.
