> QuoteWhat is interesting about PRAHA? The city is touted as one of the most beautiful cities in the world! Me and my friend visited Prague after winter a few years ago ..
The first thing we went to was of course the Old Town Square, where everyone who came to the city of Prague would come to this place to see the magnificent Tyn Church, relics from the past, and the famous Astronomy Clock.
What's special about the astronomical clock, this clock will toll according to the clock, for example, now it is 3 o'clock again, then the clang is 3 times. That's normal, right? The clock at home is also like that ... But then there is a statue of a doll that will come out alternately in the open window. That's funny ... and after the doll statue goes back and forth, then woww in the tower will appear someone in distinctive clothes who blow trumpets from the two sides of the tower. Teett teeett teeett !!! Hundreds of people who gather under the tower every hour will clap after the trumpeter blows the trumpet. The procession for about 5 minutes was a ritual awaited by tourists. Cool isn't it ?! Beware if you say no.
The next tour is Charles Bridge, which can be reached by walking about 10-15 minutes from the old town square. Charles Bridge is very famous for the beauty of architecture on both sides of the bridge and a large river flowing beautifully underneath, with tourist boats back and forth. Souvenir sellers, caricature painters, even beggars hunt for fortune on this bridge.
There is something unique about beggars in Prague, they often sit while bowing their heads in a prostrate position, holding a hat in front of their heads to collect donations. they bring dogs who faithfully accompany them in their blankets.
Another unique thing from the city of Prague, of course, cats are icons everywhere. Their souvenirs offer cats in all forms from all materials such as crystal, glass, wood, children's toys, clocks, paintings, t-shirts, everything ... and I am a cat lover! So very happy! I bought several cats: one of glass, one of wood, two on a small wall clock and two in two different paintings ... of course I want to buy more, but they sell these souvenirs at quite expensive prices, heavy for student pocket: one small cat my glass costs 30 euros But the most unique of the most unique during the trip, I did not see a single real cat in the city of Prague! Ha ha ha…
Next is Karlsteijn, a more interesting place in my opinion, 30 km south of Prague. We headed to Karlsteijn with a reasonably-priced train ticket, 20 euros back and forth. In Karlsteijn there is a beautiful castle, a fortress of Prague in the past which is located on a hill.
We enjoyed delicious pancakes on the way to the top of the hill, even had the opportunity to make their own pancakes, incredible ... with warm sunlight, while enjoying pancakes, and beautiful eye views, a castle on a hill, a pancake seller who is handsome like an artist, what a lovely day ..
Oh yes, there is something unique in this prague, for the first time I saw, toilet markers are everywhere. In the middle of the road, the toilet is marked like a direction of the guide. Likewise in the castle of Karlsteijn, the writing of the WC was made overwhelmingly defeated all other information, showing the importance of the toilet for the people there .. wow as a reseller (aka who often wants to pee), I feel very appreciated, hehehe ...
Friends, in a city that speaks without clue, it is rather difficult to get info if you don't meet people who can speak English. But for roads, it is not too problematic because the maps provided are quite accurate, and more easily, road name markers are available on each side of the road. Not prone to stray because the street names are easy to find, and are listed all in the map. Very helpful for people with less spatial intelligence like me😀
Eh friend, have you seen the synagogue? While walking to the main train station, we found the Synagogue, a place of worship of the Jews. The building is majestic and guarded by police, so it's kind of scary. At most we can enjoy the architecture of the building from the outside. Wow, David's stars are everywhere. Starting from the stone block pattern in front of the building, decoration above the window, a large sign in the middle of the building, to the top of the tower, such as the sign of the moon and stars at the top of the mosque.
