Enjoying Prague

On our last full day in Prague, we decided to take it much more slowly and enjoy the city.

We wanted to beat the crowd for a few famous sites so the first thing we did was head to Prague Castle. The castle area can be seen from almost any viewpoint in Prague - as the castle is built on top of a small hill. We visited the St. Vittus cathedral, which is beautiful and serene when it's almost empty. The mosaics are outstanding and probably my favorite part of this cathedral.
After we left, we visited the Golden Lane. The Golden Lane is part of the castle grounds. It is a preserved and restored street of old buildings that represents how the locals of the Prague castle grounds used to live. There are many small buildings with secret pathways, small stores, and a gallery of armor and shields.
We spent the rest of the day enjoying and exploring...This is a random public park...
My favorite Czech beer is Kozel - which I am still constantly searching for in the USA. 
Finally, we paid to visit an astronomical library with these amazing views of the city. A great way to remember the city!
