Karlínské náměstí

Home to thousands of stag do's and some beautiful buildings, we enjoyed our whistle stop tour to this city.

We stayed with a Slovakian girl who has lived in Czech Republic for years and whose black Labrador Nikko became Stuarts newest friend on our travels.

On our arrival we headed to the famous Tyn Church (the main pic) with its mismatched spires symbolising Adam and Eve (I presume Eve is the larger of the two) and rumoured to have come about because they ran out of money/material.. We almost missed the astronomical clock which is currently covered in scaffolding and wandered through the jewish quarter.

We had read online that Prague was "agonisingly crowded" so prepared for the worst. Ok so it was busy with Charles' famous bridge teaming with tourists, we had experienced Rome so were not phased. Managed to easily get a beer and a burrito before the queues!

The main tourist spots ticked off we decided to pick up tickets for Guns n' Roses live in Prague and what a great decision that turned out to be! Settling down onto the grass in the cheapest standing area we enjoyed beer in our commemorative cups and watching warm up acts including Biffy Clyro. When the sun started to set Axl Rose wowed us with his vocals and Slash was on fine form.

Great introduction to the Czech capital.Läs mer
