Prague--Czech Republic
“the City of a Hundred Spires,”
Another one of my favourite cities in Eastern Europe. Sad to say its the only city I have visited in the Czech republic. Hope should change in Dec 2021

Prague was a city controlled by the Soviet Union. In 1967 the local Communist Party took a stand against the regime. Alexander Dubček led the revolt which led to the new Europe.

I have stayed in Prague three. First stay was to a apartment on Wencelas Square.
Next time we stayed at the Julian .Our stay at the Julian was first Class . Slightly away from the Tourist part of the City but only ten mins walk from the Charles Bridge.
We have just returned from Pilsen August 2024 This time we stayed at the Premier inn.

The Charles Bridge is a famous historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century.
One of the most beautiful cities in the world.
I loved walking along the cobbled streets to see what`s round every corner.It`s a walking city.

The main sightseeing areas of Prague are separated by the Vltava River. On the left bank there is the Prague Castle area and Lesser Town. The right bank is home to the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter, and the New Town. Spanning the Vltava River and connecting the Old Town and Lesser Town is the beautiful Charles Bridge.
Old Town Square
The Týn Church towers over the square and the statue of reformer Jan Hus, and the Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Hall on the opposite side of it.

Sad to say John Lennon never visited Prague.
In Mala Strana, you’ll see the John Lennon Wall.

Less a square than a boulevard, Wenceslas Square has the shape of a very long rectangle . The north west end runs up against the border between the New Town and the Old Town.
Self-immolation of Jan Zajíc in response to the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Soviet-led troops and the “normalization” period that followed. Aged 18, Zajíc set himself on fire on 25 February 1969 as he felt a similar move by Jan Palach the previous month had failed to shake the indifference and apathy of Czechoslovak society in the wake of the occupation.
