Panorama of Prague from Prague Castle

We didn't have the best of weathers while we were there, but the mist added this mysterious and fairy-tale like character to the ancient city.

Here you can see Charles Bridge clearly.

Dancing Building

This modern building from 1996 is an unique architecture on the overall ancient Prague skyline.

Prague Metro

Impressive and beautiful and clean network of metro.

My mobile phone actually works underground! And the mobile provider even tells you which metro line and which station you are now at!! Wow!

Metro approaching at Mustek station!

The National Museum is such an impressive and grand building from the outside (and inside) that once during WWII when Prague was under siege, the attackers actually shot the building thinking it was a government building. You can still see the shot-marks on the pillars (white marks)

Czech Senate II

DUring the severe floods of 2002, various countries in Central Europe were badly flooded. Here was an exhibition about the terrible damage done to Prague

Charles Bridge IV

Jan Nepomuk is the patron saint of the Czech Republic. Legend has it if you rub the gold plate at the base of his statute, you will return to Prague again. Lonely Planet writes that the easiest is to buy a return ticket to Prague.

I of course rubbed it many times.
