Prague

Prague is quite a beautiful city. It is full of medieval architecture and Ars Noveau style buildings. It is also a city full of culture and so many famous musicians and artists have influenced Praha. We have been staying in the Dizzy Daisy Hostel close to the Moldoua River. A quaint Parisian style cafe is near the hostel and every morning we have dined there with great enjoyment. These are the highlites of what I saw in Praha.
-St. Charle's Bridge-built in the 13th century is fun to walk across. There are so many statues of saints on it.
-The Lobkowizcky Palace-sits on top of a hill overlooking the Moldoua River. Inside the palace is an amazing collection of art and history. I saw Beethoven's original scores for his 3rd, 4th, and 5th symphonies as they were dedicated to the Prince Lobkowizcky. Mozart and Hayden were also connected to the Palace.
-Mucha Museum-Alphonse Mucha influenced Praha so much and his art helped the Czeck people.
-Dvorak's birthplace
-Wandering the streets looking at the amazing buildings.

Prague is great, but it is not my favourilite city. Personally Budapest still sticks out in my mind.
