Prague Castle & Saint Vitas Cathedral

Sunday Morning July 6th 2014

Another very warm day predicted with a top of 30C

Good morning from beautiful Prague!

After a pretty good sleep (think all the noise we heard in the street was celebrations over The Netherlands win in the World Cup Soccer) we showered & went down to breakfast, which was excellent. 

Next on the agenda was a city tour by coach & tour of Prague Castle & St Vitas Cathedral. We left at 8.45am & because it is Sunday, traffic was light & we managed to see quite a lot on the way. 






This is the largest stadium in the world which has a capacity for 230,000 people. Not much to see on the photo as we were on the coach and very close!


Once at Prague Castle we went on a walking tour with our guide for approximately 1.5 hours (it's very large). Here are a few photos of the castle grounds.

Changing of the Guard at 11am



And St Vitas Cathedral:








Then we were taken to a lovely cafe where we had an iced coffee 7 back on the coach for return to our hotel.


The famous Charles Bridge, not a very good photo as I was looking into the sun & when I checked them, only this one was recognisable.

We just had a light snack at the hotel for lunch and heading out again at 2pm to visit the Art Deco, Municipal House. More on that next time.
