Prague Castle

After our lecture we were free to roam on our own, and Sarah, Jamie, and I climbed the many stairs up the hill to Prague Castle (Pražský hrad).


These rather frightening statues guard the entrance.


The palace grounds contain several courtyards, a cathedral, and many buildings.


While we were walking near the cathedral, a police officer suddenly pushed us back, clearing a path for "the president's car" (we don't know if the actual president was inside, but we like to think so).

Walking down from the castle we passed through the St. Wenceslas vineyards.


We also walked through the Jewish Quarter, which is quite near our hotel.
