Prague Day 2

A few highlights from Prague Day 2. We headed down to the Charles Bridge early to beat the crowds, then spent most of the day in the fascinating Jewish quarter. We walked everywhere which is a delight in this beautiful city. Leaving Prague today but we’ll be back at the end of the trip for another few days.

We love the architecture and the little cobbled lanes. When we reached Charles Bridge, we caught the perfect light over Prague Castle! It was worth the early start! The big plus was no crowds.
