Walks in Prague
The day before we were in Venice, at 23-00, under the sound of heavy rain, we left on our luxury bus towards Prague.
The overnight move went well, there were two sanitary stops along the way, and at 9-30 there was a half-hour stop for breakfast.
I bought a hamburger and fries at McDonald's for 80 crowns (I paid with a Visa, although in principle they accepted euros), I drank tea from a bus tea machine.
The weather in the morning was cool, windy and overcast.
At 10-30 we stopped near the royal park and first walked around it.
On the Powder Bridge we went to Prague Castle (another name is a fortress or a castle): the residence of the President of the Czech Republic (as well as Czech kings, Roman emperors, presidents of Czechoslovakia). It is the largest presidential residence in the world by area, possibly also the largest castle in the world.
At 11-00 we went to Hradchanskaya Square, saw the sights, looked from the observation deck and went to St. Vitus Cathedral, went inside.
Then we walked through the territory to the very end of the castle,
at 12-00 we left the castle, stopped at one more observation deck and went down to Klarov street. a>
We walked forward to the garden near the Malostranska metro station, visited the toilet.
At 12-30 we walked along U Luzickeho Seminare Street, went into the courtyard opposite the Lesser Town Pivnica restaurant to the moving Pissing Men fountain.
At 12:40 we arrived at the Charles Bridge.
Various fairs are constantly held near the bridge "/newimg/3/800x600/00/01/74/27/1742737.

and magnificent views of the royal castle open and boats strolling along the Vltava.
We walked across the bridge, examined the numerous sculptures standing on it, and at 13-05 we crossed to the other side.
We passed through the Clementinum - the National Library of the Czech Republic and at 13-15 we went to the Mariana Square to the city hall building.
After going around the city hall, past the Church of St. Nicholas, we came to the Old Town Square.
We walked around the square, < img alt="DSC02308. JPG" src="/newimg/3/800x600/00/01/74/27/1742767.jpg" style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; height: 600px; width: 800px" />
and approached the astronomical clock on the Old Town Hall.
At 13-30 the tour ended and then an hour of free time was planned, and then a boat trip along the Vltava with a buffet. We did not order a boat, so we asked a local guide to show us the nearest good cafe with local cuisine. She kindly agreed and after a 10-15 minute walk she brought us to a good cafe, I ordered myself a local beer, barbecue and french fries. I asked the waiter: “How many degrees is the beer? ". They told me - 13. But, probably, it was still the density, because I drank 3 times at 0.33 and didn’t feel anything special.
After sitting for more than an hour, having a great snack and paying off the rest of the euro (I paid 23E), we went for a walk.
