"Riegrovy Sady is a park on a hill that overlooks the city. It also has a beer garden, which was quite spacious and had lots of vendors selling food and drinks. Although the Czech Republic is famous for its beer (particularly Pilsner Urquell), I'm not much of a beer drinker, so I enjoyed a cider on one of the benches before sitting on the hill to watch the sunset. I stopped by a few times throughout the semester, and the park was always crowded with fellow sunset watchers."
"I loved walking across it to move between the city's Old Town and Lesser Town neighborhoods, and always stopped to admire the beautiful views. I also appreciated the statues lining the bridge, and think it's a great spot for art and history lovers. Plus, many vendors line up along the bridge to sell jewelry, art, and other trinkets, so I was able to purchase two necklaces as souvenirs."
"I spent about two to three hours at Prague Castle - and I'm glad I did. During my visit, I waltzed into rooms with crowns and armor, saw the dungeon of Daliborka Tower, and explored St. Vitus Cathedral. One of my favorite areas to visit on the castle grounds was Golden Lane, a street lined with colorful houses that used to be inhabited by families, castle marksmen, and goldsmiths."
A summer in Wisconsin was swapped for study abroad in Prague, with about six weeks spent exploring the city. Prague's cobblestone streets, churches, and castle create a strong historic and architectural atmosphere. Riegrovy Sady is a hilltop park with a spacious beer garden and many vendors; enjoying a cider on a bench while watching sunsets became a repeated favorite. Charles Bridge connects Old Town and Lesser Town, features statues, offers scenic views, and hosts many vendors selling jewelry and art. Prague Castle rewarded a two-to-three hour visit with crowns, armor, Daliborka Tower's dungeon, St. Vitus Cathedral, and Golden Lane's colorful houses.
