Prague 2015

After depositing the luggage at the train station and pulling out some petty cash from the ATM, we headed straight to the Prague Castle. Our time in Prague was short, as we only planned 6 hours for the city, which was further compressed by the train delay of nearly 40 minutes.

Somehow the design of the metro station reminded me of the terminal 3 at Indira Gandhi Airport.

After a quick ride on the metro and tram, we arrived at the Pražský hrad, otherwise known as the Prague Castle.

While it's called Prague Castle, it is actually a complex comprising palaces, churches and gardens. There were several tour options available, with different tickets ranging from CZK250 to CZK350 covering different areas.

As we were on a tight schedule, we went with the shorter circuit B, although given more time we would probably opt for the more comprehensive circuit A.

We began with the St. Vitus Cathedral, an imposing structure featuring beautiful stained glass.

Coming out of the cathedral, we walked across the windly plaza and stepped into the Old Royal Palace.

Given that we had a train to catch, we had to bade the castle goodbye and return to the train station, but not without first buying a really nice brownie from the cafe outside the castle.
