A Morning of Exploring

After breakfast, we set off to see what the city had for us. We walked along a predetermined route to take in as many sights as possible.

Completed in 1475, the Powder Gate Tower or Powder Gate is a Gothic tower that formerly served as a gunpowder store. It is one of the original city gates and separates the Old Town from the New Town.
After walking 🚶‍♀️ 🚶🚶‍♀️🚶underneath the huge gated archway we carried on down Celetna Street towards Staromestske Namesti and; established in 1338 the Old Town, with its unique astronomical clock — known as the Orloj — where, every hour between 8 am and 11 pm, the Twelve Apostles appear.

More than a little disappointed, we then made our way to join the crowds on the 15th Century Charles Bridge.Read more
