Arrived about 10PM yesterday. Prague and its many spires. Like Poland, Prague is a member of the EU, but does not use the Euro as its currency. The country’s official currency is the koruna. And the exchange rate is good again. $1 US dollar = ~ 22 Czech koruna. I should be doing more shopping! So many countries with good exchange rates, so little time.
Prague is the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic, and the historical capital of Bohemia. On the Vltava River, Prague is home to about 1.3 million people. The city has a temperate climate, with relatively warm summers and chilly winters. Here is where I will start my river cruise.
Today, Monday, sightseeing and shopping. The Marriott Old City is a great location for walking around!
but are all linked to Czech history. Who knew?
The memorial is inspired by Kafka’s short story Description of a Struggle.
From The Metamorphosis–I overheard someone say that Kafka stipulated, “the insect is not to be drawn.” Jaroslav Rona included it anyway. You might see it better in the picture above.
TBT, I have never read anything by Kafka. I know of him–but have not read his work.
Tomorrow, Lobkowicz Palace and Prague by night. Stay tuned for more pictures.
