So far we only explored the right side of the river, the old town of Prague. But there\u2019s also the so called lesser side of Prague, situated west of the Vlatava river. This was our program for yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we had covered a total of 5.6 miles on Tuesday we decided to start the day off with a tram ride up the hill to the Prague castle. The kids quite liked that idea. The castle grounds cover a huge area on top of the hill and also includes the late-gothic St. Vitus cathedral which was our first stop in the castle tour. Thanks to COVID and also the time of year it wasn\u2019t that crowded which is always nice for tourist hot spots like that. Unfortunately some areas were also closed due to the same fact which meant we could only see the cathedral, St. George\u2019s basilica and the Golden Lane. There still was enough to see for us and the kids though. At 12 we watched the changing of the guards, it reminded us a little of England. With marching and brass music the morning guard got their well deserved break and the next shift took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
