Sharka, our local guide, took us on a sightseeing tour of Prague today. We started at the Prague Castle. This 9th century building is located on the hilltop area of Hradcany overlooking the river. It is the official residence of the President of the Czech Republic. After spending some time at the castle we headed down the hill to the Charles Bridge. This is the most famous bridge in the city, covered with statues and built in 1357. Then we headed down to the Jewish Quarter, a historic and very interesting part of town to visit. Then we were able to see Prague from a different angle by going on a cruise along the River Vltava for lunch. We loved the scenery and delicious lunch buffet.
