The most iconic attraction in Prague has got to be Charles Bridge. Everyday, without fail, it draws throngs of visitors who jostle past one another just to capture that picture perfect shot, not just of the bridge itself, but also its surrounding scenery and the Vltava river. To be honest, I wasn’t particularly bowled over by Charles Bridge because having heard so much about the beauty of Prague, I probably had unrealistic expectations of what it has to offer. 😛
But once I saw Prague by night and the Charles Bridge from across the river bank during lunch at Hergetova Cihelna, all of that changed. It really is a beautiful city and photos don’t lie, do they? 😉
See what I mean? Prague by night looks like a city of glowing jewels.
By day, Charles Bridge looks magnificent against the backdrop of Prague’s charming Old Town. Unlike other European cities, the roofs of the buildings here come in warm colourful hues of red and green.

My delicious main course – Crispy salmon with potatoesJW had risotto instead, which was equally yummy.

For some reason, my outfit that day drew quite a bit of attention from fellow tourists (including Asians!) and they all started snapping photos of me, thinking I was a Japanese girl. They were all quite shocked to learn that I was from Singapore. Never judge a cover by its looks people! Haha I was flattered yet pretty embarrassed at the same time.
