Some Final Meanderings and Thoughts

We really enjoyed Prague and because of the Vtlava River running through it, it really reminded us of Turin, though not as laid back.

Prague – The City from Letna Park – Panorama

Not only are there plenty of things to see and do, the city has many restaurants, more than one would think. One can find anything to eat, from Vietnames and Chinese food to all varieties of European cuisine.

The city also has a lot of parks in it, where one can go and enjoy a quiet walk, while admiring some of the monuments and art work that abound in this quiant little eastern European city. We leave you with a parting slide show and a few more restaurant reviews.
