Starting in the afternoon, sipping on affordable beers and admiring Prague's beautiful cityscape from various angles. August 2023【98】

Day Three

I checked out of the hotel just after 6 o'clock and headed to the central station.

Unexpectedly, my ticket was checked on the train to the central station.

By the way, it didn't happen at all the previous day.

I bought bread and orange juice at the station and boarded the train to Prague.

I had already purchased the train ticket in advance, and the car I reserved was in the Family Zone.

It was heartwarming to see so many children onboard.

After resting and reading a book, I arrived in Prague in about 4 hours.

With excitement seeing the new cityscape, I first went to the hotel.

Although it was before check-in, I dropped off my luggage and went for a city walk.

The Charles Bridge was just a stone's throw from the hotel.

After crossing the bridge and blending in with the tourists, I climbed the stairs to a wonderful view.

I went around looking only at the exteriors of places like the cathedral and Prague Castle.

After descending the hill and returning to the city, I went to a Czech cuisine restaurant while strolling around.

I ordered beer and beef tartare.

I was surprised by how cheap the beer was, but above all, this tartare was superb.

You rub raw garlic on bread, put the meat on it, and adjust the flavor to eat.

It was just the perfect food to go with beer and was extremely delicious.

After the meal, feeling a bit tipsy, I walked to the art museum.

Bought iced coffee at Starbucks and had a gelato for a post-meal break.

Went back to the hotel for check-in and then went out for another city stroll.

Chimney cakes, available all around Prague.

Climbed up the clock tower I had reserved.

Spent around 30 minutes admiring the view and watching the sunset.

After descending the tower, headed to Letna Park.

After climbing the stairs, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Prague.

The trees obstruct the view slightly, but you can enjoy the scenery in the midst of nature.

Still had some time left, so headed to Vyšehrad in search of another scenic view.

Enjoyed the views from three different spots, then went back to the hotel to charge my phone and wait for the evening.

When I went outside, it was raining and there was thunder, so I decided to skip the nightlife, had dinner, and went back to the hotel.

The morning of the last day.

Had breakfast at Cafe Louvre.

American coffee and apple strudel.

Spent a graceful time in the spacious cafe.

It continued to rain from last night, and I got wet on my way to today's destination.

It's the Mucha Museum.

A leading artist of the Czech Republic, and apparently, his art exhibitions are frequently held in Japan as well.

You can learn not only about his works but also about his life.

I was captivated by his signature designs of women and decorations.

When I left the museum, the rain had lightened up a bit.

Browsing souvenirs, and then headed to a lunch place.

I had a beef stew with a kind of bread called Knedlíky.

The beer goes down well in the afternoon.

After lunch, as I was wandering around the city, I bought a T-shirt that caught my eye.

I spent some time in a café and then went to the hotel to pick up my luggage and headed to the airport.

From the city center to the airport, I took the subway to Nádraží Veleslavín and then transferred to a bus.

I had quite some time before my flight, so I gazed at the rainy airport and pondered about my next trip.
