There were many great entries submitted in the yesterday Prague/Czech Republic photo challenge and I had a hard time picking the best one. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @softa:

One of my favorite locations, where a beautiful view of the castle Hazenburg. I've been to this place several times, and every time I enjoyed the sunset. Unfortunately, you can only get to this place by car. Because it is in the middle of the field between the villages of Chotesov and Radovesice in Northern Bohemia.

In the Piazza del Gran Maestro, this Wall belongs to the Knights of Malta. After the death of John Lennon the young Czechs and tourists began to fill it with graffiti becoming a symbol of the pacifist struggle. It 'a film in the making because you always find someone who in addition to taking pictures of memories, adds a few words or drawings. To be seen.

It's amazing how this place keeps changing its appearance! You could have this entry each and every week and it would come out different. Great to have such a colorful image on such a gloomy Sunday. Thank you so much for sharing and have a great day. Tomas

One of the beautiful historic houses found on the Olomoucka Street in the center of the Silesian city of Opava. The capital city of the Silesian Region of the Czech Republic, Opava was badly damaged during the WWII but fortunately, many of its architectural jewels survided or have been rebuilt.

That dreamy moment...

Hello. That's me visiting Prague almost five years ago. I spent there just a short weekend. Of course it wasn't enough to explore everything I wanted. But it was definitely enough time to fall in love with this beautiful city 😍 I will come back when I'm somewhere at least close to Europe:)

When you are looking at the famous red roofs of Prague and already wishing to come back.

😊

Czech Republic - a country that will not leave indifferent any tourist. I still remember these romantic shops, narrow streets, cleanliness and order, which is so lacking at home. Going to Prague take comfortable shoes. You have to walk around the city, laid pavement.
The Old Town is the place where Prague was once founded. This is now the historical center. It includes the Old Town Avenue, and the Astronomical Clock.

Cesky Krumlov
This is one of those charming little European towns that you have to be grateful are so well preserved and maintained. My wife and I spent two days here and spent hours just walking around. We probably saw the castle from every possible angle. The town has several wonderful viewpoints over the river and castle, and lots of nice restaurants and souvenir shops. You can walk along the river in places and you can just roam the streets and soak up the delightful atmosphere. Most of the tourists we saw were shooting photos nonstop. It's just that picturesque!

Cesky Krumlov
What a delightful small village that takes you back into mid evil day of the Czech history. This Bohemian architecture is a sight to behold. This town is on the way from Prague to Salzburg and well worth the visit. WE spent an hour touring and could have spent at least another hour in the town.

I think Prague is the most popular tourist destination within the Chech Republic. An old European city with a unique history, beautiful people and amazing architecture. Have you noticed how beautifully the buildings in this city look? There is a story on each of them. This is one of them. Have a look! I hope you will like it.

The Panorama of the Prague Castle, the Presidium of the Government and the Petřín lookout towers, were photographed (and approached) from the zoo in Troja

Prague is a city on hills surrounded by hills. If you look closer, you can view them from afar. From heights you can see buildings from different angles, in the original overlap with other buildings.
I personally admire Prague for fifty years. And I'm still surprised.

Warm summer evening in Prague. After full day of sightseeing, we were just walking around enjoying the fresh breeze and stopped on this bridge to enjoy this stunning view. Prague castle in the back and boats slowly roaming on Vltava river were giving it a special feeling.

Inside of St. Vitus Cathedral
What a magical place! You can enter the cathedral without paying but if you want to truly make the most out of the spectacular stain glass windows and glorious epitaphs then it's 250 crowns. Would highly recommend going up to the top of the tower, however this is another 150 crowns and it's a very long, steep spiral staircase, the view from the top is quite simple breathtaking!

Metal tower located on Mount Petrín, of construction features common to the Eiffel Tower, is higher but much less beautiful and colorful, you can climb it for payment of the entrance and the views of the city are spectacular, You can see the entire Mala Strana neighborhood, the historical center of the city and the cathedral area, it is well worth the visit.

Prague Castle is incredible and definitely worth getting a guided tour. St. Vitus cathedral was amazing and walking through Gold Row was really cool. I loved learning about the history of the place and the artifacts that are there.

The Old Town Square is a piece of History and Art. Some of the buildings are staying there for centuries and witnessing all the changes in our world: inquisition, persecutions, kings, defenestrations, old wars, recent wars, fights for freedom and certainly many love stories, all of that can be seen in the Old Town Square. A true gem!

St. Vitus Cathedral
Centred at the heart of Prague Castle, this Cathedral is a landmark visible for miles. When closer, you can admire the detail and craftsmanship that has gone into this building. Inside an out it is a wonder to see and i highly recommend to all who visit the city. When we visited it was partially under restoration, so you couldn't see some of it but we still enjoyed it.

Many people get the chance to visit the castle at Hlouboka nad Vltavou. It's on the way to Cesky Krumlov why not? I think a lot of people just walk past the beautiful Kostel svatého Jana Nepomuckého (Church of St. John of Nepomuk) on their way up the hill to the castle. It's worth a look for sure!

Prague Castle, the largest castle area in the world with a total area about 45 hectares, is also one of the most famous attractions in Prague. Absolutly must visit!

The photo I show you today was taken in a small pedestrian street of the old city, Melantrichova, from where you can see the tip of the Clock Tower, as well as the tower of the Prague City Hall.

St. Bartholomew's Gothic Cathedral is located in the main town square and surrounded by some marvelous old buildings. Access to the cathedral is limited to a viewing area during "Tourist Hours" but worth a visit just to view the architecture.
