We are exploring the "Lesser Quarter" - one of the four major regions of old town Prague.
 |
| American Embassy to Czech Republic |
 |
| St. Nicholas |
 |
| The Lennon Wall - as in John Lennon from the Beatles |
 |
| "You may say I'm a dreamer" when our guide said we were going to the Lennon wall - I was assuming we were going to the Lenin wall. lol |

| Our guide - Dagmar. A wonderful experience to see the beautiful city of Prague. Love locks in the background |
The Lesser Quarter -- This part of the city must be one of the most historical areas. It is packed with little shops and restaurants huddled between grand buildings housing ministries and embassies. Each Prague Guide simply reccommends to stroll around is a trip through time but if you want to explore a little deeper then you cannot miss
St.Nicholas Cathedral where you can take a tour or even stay a little longer for one of the regular concerts held within to hear the very organ that was played by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he lived in Prague! You can even visit the seat of the senate during weekends, the richly decorated
Wallenstein Palace. Built between 1624 and 1630 by Albrecht von Wallenstein, it was meant to overshadow even Prague Castle itself. If you would like to escape the many other tourists, Malá Strana can boast some of the most peaceful parks such as
Peřín Hill, which offers one of the best panoramic views from the 60m high
Observation Tower or at river level there is the enchanting
Kampa Island, also known as the
Venice of Prague. Choose from one of the many cafes or restaurants, relax and enjoy your historical surroundings
