Night Walks (1) – Prague Castle

With Prague becoming really popular place, it is getting more and more difficult to visit the most famous places and really enjoy it, not to get hurt by someone else selfie stick and have the place for yourself. Therefore the best times to visit are early in the morning or later at the evening. You can find pictures how Prague Castle (and around) looks like after dark.

My beloved street Novy Svet (the New World) at night

And the view from the same place to the other side … yes, Prague Castle from the back

One more old time gas lamp of Prague

Army Church of Saint John of Nepomuk, not available for tourists, (just in case you are lucky and it is opened, peek in :-))

Private entrance at Hradcanske namesti

Don’t miss the Castle behind/under the light

We are getting closer to the Castle.

The main entrance, which serves as an exit only now.

I simple love these Plecnik’s round stairs, I had to make picture even at night.

Already in, entrance to the St Vitus cathedral.

Cathedral entrance detail, yes, the empty spots were never occupied by statues, did we run out of money?

It’s Majesty Cathedral.

And again …

… and again, from back now.

Private bridge from the Royal palace to the Cathedral.

Look at the beauty, from Castle to Little Town with St Nicholas Church dominant.

The Old Castle Stairs (Stare zamecke schody) back to the city.

    A powerful reminder that there are important places we haven’t been and motivation to come there.

    Thanks so much Katy for bringing back memories of my time in Prague in spring of 2013 – I was touring with a group so it was difficult to avoid the crowds in daytime as you say, but my favourite time was in the dark before dawn mostly waiting on the Charles Bridge with other photographers. And after dinner at the Castle – looking down over the city below with all the lights.
    Of all the wonderful places I saw on that European trip, the 2 that remain firmly in my mind were Paris and Prague – to me the “Bookends” of Europe holding it all together. I could live I think in either. You are so fortunate to be doing that. Regards – Wes.
