Prague the capital of the Czech Republic is a beautiful city with interesting architecture that has quite a foreboding appearance. The spires on buildings such as Tin Church (photo 1) and the Clocktower (photo 2) look like the sort of thing they would use to depict an evil castle in a Disney film.

The city is a good party place and found the locals generally good fun. It is an interesting city historically and architecturally, even the bridges are quite fancy like Karlovy Most (Charles Bridge) (photo 3). The palace affords good views as well as also being an interesting site, complete with a grand cathedral (photo 4). Prague was home to a strong and important Jewish community up until the holocaust and for this reason there are numerous Jewish sites to visit, whether they be Synagogues, community centres, museums or graveyards. The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague (photo 5) has been around for several centuries and is the last resting place of some eminent Jewish scholars and rabbis.
