wiseheartAfter the Loreto, we went into the actual Castle of Prague. In front of the main entrance, there's a large square with lots of pretty things, which I took photos of. Look behind the tag.
Schwarzenerg Palace (3 pictures)
Pretty lanterns and a sighteeing car (3 pictures)
St Mary's Column
The entrance to the Musical Instrument Museum
Pretty building
Blacksmiths at work on the open street - you could see them on various spots of Prague.
After we've seen - and photographed - everything that was there on the place, we finally went into the Castle itself.
Main entrance to the Castle
Various shots of the incredible St Vitus' Catherdral - only exterior, alas, as we didn't have the time to see the inside, too.
Let's start with 2 shots of the famous bronze statue of St. George and the Dragon, that stands on the side of the Cathedral
And now the Cathedral itself:
From there, we went directly into the Old Royal Castle. Alas, I don't have pics of that myself, but I'll add some when I get them from my colleagues. The guided tour ended in the Golden Lane, after which Mum and I crossed the Charles Bridge and saw a few nice things on our way back to the hotel. All those thing are behind the tag.

Just a pretty doorway on our way back to Vencel Square
Stay tuned for VEncel Square and the Old Town Centre
