Prague is a medieval city packed with tourists in the summer. I can see why it’s a popular destination. The city has a compact old town filled with shops and cobbled streets, a beautiful castle area, and of course, the famous Charles Bridge. 

We also took a daytrip to Kutna Hora to see the Church of Bones, which is decorated with thousands and thousands of bones. The town has a great beer garden where we had a delicious Czech meal, and underground tours of medieval silver mines. 

My favorite day in Prague, though, was the day we spent wandering around off-the-tourist-path parks and stopping at outdoor beer gardens along the day. The view of Old Town from the surrounding hilltops is beautiful. We discovered so many wonderful hang-out spots in Prague.  My favorite was the microbrewery at the Strahov Monastery - apparently it’s been using brewing the same beer for centuries! It must be so much fun to live in Prague and get to go to these places regularly.
