• Prague Castle, St. Vitas Cathedral

    May 5 in Czech Republic ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    We walked to the Jewish Quarter to see the cemetary, but they now require tickets to go through, a change from our last visit over 20 years ago!! We carried on to Charles Bridge and up to Prague Castle and St. Vitas Cathedral. We saw a lot of police & military presence at the castle and just as we were passing into the inner courtyard, they were directing us to specific areas so the motorcade for the King of Belgium 🇧🇪 ( 17 vehicles total) could pass through. We came to the Cathedral which is my favorite with its Gothic architecture and gargoyles. St. Vitus Cathedral is the largest and the most important temple in Prague.

They were having a mass, by invitation only, for the victims of WWII.Read more
