The Promise of Praha - Views from the Street

This post about Prague includes some favorite places I found through the suggestions of my hosts. It is difficult to capture a city as complicated as Prague in a few photos but I hope I have given you a feel for Praha. 


Lokal is a favorite beer hall and restaurant of my hosts. It has a unique way of "pulling" beer from a unique beer storage system. Whatever they are doing it is working! The best dark beer I have ever tasted! 






Fried cheese is their specialty. Served with potato salad and of course a beer! 




On my list for my next trip to Prague! 







A large mall in the middle of the city.







Spotted this scene on Father's Day and thought it was sweet. 

Apparently Prague is a popular location for bachelor parties. This was on the Charles Bridge. Wonder what Charles IV would think about this. 


Street food called Trdlo. Sweet dough wound around a large rod then fried and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. The price was 60 crown which I believe is about three dollars. 

Many modes of transportation used in the tourist areas. 






Prague train station-time to return to Berlin. It was an amazing weekend!
