Used for many centuries as the only bridge in Prague it was also the main road for coronation processions and it decorated with religious statues along the way. Today the bridge is used for pedestrians and is visited mostly by tourists. Even on rainy and snowy day when I visited - it is nothing short of impressive. In particular - the bridge is roughly 35 feet wide - and considering its age it is an amazing fear of engineering.

You really do earn your views, walking up to this monument…read more I have to put a disclaimer out there, though - we made the mistake of trying to visit Vitkov without checking their site. I had us allotting time to this monument on a different day in the week, but we needed to make adjustments on the fly, which led to us making the long hike up the hill and many steps only to find...the museum was closed. Yeah...that blew. But - the views! The WIND! It was super windy the day we went. It was also a beautiful sunny day. There were a few people that were hanging out in the sun, or taking pictures of the fantastic vistas, and even - crazily enough! - running up and down the steps. We were surprised by how devoid of people it was, but once we found out that the museum was closed, it made a ton of sense. The monument is HUGE. There just aren't any words to describe how freaking big this thing is. My husband spent a good few minutes staring, wondering aloud how they got something so large up so high. It's incredibly impressive, and I'm sad that we weren't able to visit the museum to learn more about the history of the place. We actually walked the whole way up and down. I'm sure there are trams and/or buses that can get you there faster, but we didn't feel comfortable with public transit at that point, and thought the walk would be nice. We were right, but it's tough. Definitely worth the time and effort, though. Even with the wind and the many steps, I'd go back (when it's open) to visit.

This kicked us into gear..... located in Zizkov (Praha 3), we walked from our garsonka and through the tunnel that leads up on a trial to climb the very visible hill which has at its top, the Hussite leader Jan Zízka (not to be confused with Jan Hus), and then OVER the top of it into Karlin, Praha 8. In fact, all of the Praha 3 quarter is named after this dude who courageously fought a historic battle, pushing back the Crusaders. It was a very cold day and the hike took a good few hours.....most memorial was the large equestrian statue by Bohumil Kafka was erected in 1950.

The fountain's basin is made of bronze and shaped like the Czech Republic. Standing in the fountain, opposite one another, are mechanical statues of men, standing 210 centimetres (6 ft 11 in) tall with bronze penises, urinating. One of them in what seems to be urinating the Prague area, the other other one doing the same in Brno (the second largest city in Czechia). Visitors to the area used to be able to command the men to write messages into the water via SMS....not sure if that is still the case.

I got the mini pancake with the berry jam and a cappuccino. The jam on the pancake was tangy and sour and sweet, which elevated the dish. The server that served us was good, but we went around 8:30, and there were only 4 other customers sitting down. We didn't see a server at first or a hostess, so we tried to ask someone that's behind the entrance making coffee if we can just sit down. Let me tell you that she was so rude, as in she didn't even acknowledge our existence and totally stared and turned her head away. For an establishment in the middle of a tourist center open during breakfast hour, maybe have a cup or two of coffee so you don't become so rude. A few days in Prague, and by far, this was the rudest encounter. Everywhere else, they were super nice.
