We arrived in Prague hoping that several people spoke English. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The first language here is Czech, then Russian, and finally English. We even had to use a Russian map to learn their metro, trolley, and bus systems. Fortunately, Eric can speak some Czech and he was able to get us around town.
The town of Prague is beautiful! If you can look past the graffiti on the buildings, the charm of this once-communist country comes to life.
We saw lots of fountains, statues, and churches stemming from the Hapsburg Austrian empire.
And yes, they have a beautifully preserved castle, too! This one we decided to fork over the money to tour. I loved it, but Eric would have rather spent the entrance fee on another bowl of goulash.
Below is a view of Prague from high on a hill by the castle.
