Day 135: Prague Old Town

Despite weather forecasts for severe thunderstorms and “take shelter immediately”, we had a lovely day in Old town Prague.

We first visited the Astronomical Clock which was built in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world. It’s still in operation. We arrived at the top of the hour and enjoyed the little character show and bells. The Church of Our Lady before Týn and surrounding buildings around Old town Prague mixes gothic architecture with rainbow pastel; we really digged that vibe.

Crossed the Charles Bridge bridge and Vltava river and saw a weird beaver like river animal; it could have been a rat. After seeing the Prague Castle, we visited the oldest tavern in Prague which opened in 1375. The severs were gruff and created a medieval like atmosphere by insulting us and getting us to drink more dark beer. The pub was in the basement and lit with candles so we felt the 14th century atmosphere.
