Today’s Monday Escape brings you to the capital of the Czech Republic: Prague. Prague is a fascinating city steeped in history and filled with Gothic architecture. With Prague’s Stare Mesto (Old Town), the Prague Castle (the largest in the world), and the Astronomical Clock – there is plenty to keep you busy.
One of Prague’s most picturesque sights is the Charles Bridge.
Charles Bridge, Prague
Charles Bridge was constructed in 1357 over the Vlatava river. It connects Prague’s Old Town with the Lesser Quarter. During the day you’ll find hundreds of toursits attempting to make their way across viewing its 30 statues – an evening stroll will afford you a much better experience.

Oh I love the Charles Bridge. So romantic at dusk with a band playing on the corner.

It is! Nicole and I splurged our last night in Prague. We were on a short city break from Edinburgh, so our budget wasn’t as strict as it would normally be. We ate at this beautiful restaurant with a table right on the river with a stunning view of Charles Bridge. I absolutely loved Prague.
