Prague And Kutna Hora - Full Of Energy And Character

The comfortable Air France flights took around 14 hours to fly us out to this beautiful city. When we decided to visit Prague, little did we know that May and June were the months for Beer Festivals and Music Concerts ! We did skip the beer tents as we had not much time and would not have liked to be walking around in a daze, after having a few litres of the famous Czech beers ! We stayed in the newer parts of town - Nove Mesto and found it perfectly enjoyable to stroll down the elegant Prague streets to Stare Mesto (Old Town) where there were the city squares and the Jewish Quarter; we walked along the Vltava River, passing many outdoor free concerts and of course, crossing Charles Bridge and up the Castle gave us a good idea of Prague's many attractions and dimensions. We also took a morning train to Kutna Hora, lying about an hour's train ride from Prague to experience the orderly and petite old town with a number of attractions including the Cathedral Of St Barbara, monastery and museums. Not bad going, consider we were jet-lagging and getting used to the longer day lights - one beautiful city !
