Covering Czech

Czech Republic was my first Eastern European country and I will always cherish the memories attached to it. From exploring Brno unexpectedly to scaling the Prague Castle in Prague and relaxing in Vysehrad Fortress, I loved every bit of my trip.

Brno, being a small city has very little to offer compared to Prague but one cannot dismiss this beautiful hamlet just because of that. I found that branded products are cheaper in Brno than in Prague, and affordable in Prague than in western European countries.

Prague on the other hand was full of heritage sites, old buildings, beautiful Cathedrals, picturesque river in the skyline. The Charles Bridge is one of my favourite spots to chill out, next only to Vysehrad Fortress garden. Prague is a very happening city with bustling busy bees going to work on one side and tourist spots swarming with tourists on the other.

I brought back a nice souvenir from Prague that depicts the Charles bridge. There were many souvenir shops lined up from my hotel Grandior to Charles bridge, that I took advantage of while loitering around my hotel. Hotel Grandior was expensive but a very comfortable place to stay in. They offered the best breakfast before I went exploring the city!
