Day 4: Prague

Today was a full day in many different neighborhoods of Prague!  Here are some accounts of the day from our bloggers:

Today we went on a walking tour of Prague, and we were all able to see the beautiful city in addition to getting some exercise. We walked through the Castle Town, the Little Town, the Old Town and the New Town, and visited the Prague Palace, the St. Vitus Cathedral, the Jewish Quarter, and more. We were also able to see a variety of architectural styles in close proximity to one another, which was very cool! Later on in the day we took a funicular ride, and some of the group took the long climb up many stairs to the viewing tower, where we were able to take a lot of pictures of the city from above. Overall it was a great day, and tomorrow we're off to Česky Krumlov and Vienna!

Today, we toured Prague starting with the Prague castle. When we first walked up to it, we were able to see the castles version of "changing of the guards". Next, we went to this place called "The Little Town" where we were able to see where people used to live. The houses were very small, but at least they were colorful. When we finished our tour we went to this giant clock tower which had many moving pieces and parts with deep meanings. After that we went to shop at the Jewish quarter. It was filled with a plethora of tiny road side sores offering many small and meaningful items. Finally, to finish up our day we went on a vernacular ride Petrin Hill where we got to observe a very scenic view at the top. Tomorrow, we have a long day ahead as we head to Česky Krumlov!
