This is Cesky Krumlov, in Southern Bohemia, not too far from the Austrian border. This medieval town dates back to the 1200's. Today it is a popular cultural center, and an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Posted by Picasa

This is the famous (and really touristy) Astronomical Clock (Orloj) in Old Town Square. It's been there since in 1400's. Posted by Picasa

The view from the apartment I rented while I was there. That's the Vltava River with Nove Mesto (New Town) on the other side. Posted by Picasa

This is inside the National Museum in Prague right on Welceslas Square. If it looks familar to you (and you haven't been there), it's probably because it's been featured in movies like Mission: Impossible, and Chasing Liberty.
















Prague is the capital, and largest city, of the Czech Republic. Often called the "City of a Hundred Spires," it is situated on the Vltava river in central Bohemia, and is home to about 1.2 million people.
