Some pics from around Prague, in particular the Prague Castle, described in Wikipedia as follows:
Prague Castle (Czech: Pražský hrad) is a castle complex in Prague, Czech Republic, dating from the 9th century and the official residence of the President of the Czech Republic. The castle was a seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside it.
It is among the largest castles in the world occupying an area of almost 70,000 m2, at about 570 meters in length and an average of about 130 meters wide. Although the Guinness Book of Records listed Prague Castle as the largest ancient castle in the world up to July 2006, Malbork Castle occupies more than twice the area at 143,591 m2.
Cathedral within Castle Walls
The tower can be climbed (from inside) via stairs. We did this last visit, and decided not to today. Maybe tomorrow.
