A Taste of the Czech Republic

Prague has always been a city I wanted to visit as it know for its architecture and heritage! Upon recommendation from friends, we started off our first day with a walking tour that started in the Old town square, called Sandemans walking tour. It was a great way to learn about the city and got us well acquainted to explore later on. The highlights of the city for me was the Charles Bridge, views if the Palace and just the Old town square area. A famous landmark was the astronomical clock In the middle of Old town square. We also walked through the Jewish quarter, the area of the famous 1988 revolution where communism fell, etc. The palace was far more grand from far - you could probably skip the visit to the roam through the Palace. There is an entrance for a short or long tour but I'm glad we did the short tour. 

If you have a chance, the E bikes and the Segways looked like an awesome way to tour the city especially since there is a good amount of sights to see! I'm hoping to try those in another big city on a future trip!

We weren't that adventurous with food in Prague because we just wanted some yummy tasty comfort food. Our first meal we searched out an Indian restaurant called La Qila which we ended up going to twice in 4 days because it was so good. The waitress was a Canadian girl from Toronto which was so random. In retrospect, we should have been having Goolash, meat and potatoes which is what a lot of Czech food is. Adam was reunited with his Gloria Jean lattes and international brands that you come to expect on vacation. 

This trip wouldn't have been the same without the Tripadvisor off lines aps for Amsterdam and Prague. You download them but when once they are on your phone, you can use them without wifi/data and they will lead you in The direction you need to go. This is great for finding places to eat at that are actually well rated when you're hungry and haven't necessarily planned your next meal or finding exactly where you need to go once you get off the subway/tram without having to ask around as much. It's best you verify the address of some of the locations before you go because it led us in the wrong direction once but every other time, it was accurate and very convenient. I'd highly recommend them but they are only made for some of the most popular cities in the world.
