Prague is the capital city of Czechia or most commonly known as the Czech Republic. The city is now one of Europe’s most famous and most visited, as millions of tourists visit each year. As part of my European road trip in January 2014, I managed to squeeze in a memorable 24 hours in the city. I remember falling in love instantly with the buildings, streets and that true European feel. I also remember being completely frozen - it was so cold! Hot chocolate, crepes and cosy pubs kept us going!
For this post, I will let the photos do the talking. Most of the time they’re all we need for inspiration. I’ve included photos of the Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, Kampa Lane, Vltava River, Old Castle Stairs and the Church of Our Lady before Týn.
Enjoy! Let me know if you’ve been to Prague and what your highlights were? For sure I will be visiting again soon!

Sigiriya is a massive granite peak that rises two hundred metres above the flat plains of central Sri Lanka. This UNESCO site, known as Lion Rock, is more than just a natural landmark. It was a 5th-century capital city built by King Kasyapa, surrounded by a complex system of water gardens, moats and defensive walls.
The climb to the top takes you through different stages of history. Halfway up the rock, two giant stone lion paws mark the entrance to the old palace. On the western side, you will find the mirror wall, which was once polished so the King could see himself. Nearby, ancient frescoes of women are still visible in the rock, preserved for centuries.
