Oh, look what time it is to visit this world-famous astronomical clock in Prague? THE WRONG TIME!
Many others were disappointed too. I think the work is scheduled to end in June 2018.
Spanish Synagogue
This is one of the four synagogues we visited today. It is called the Spanish Synagogue because of the design. The Jewish Museum ticket allows us to visit a few points of significance around the Old Jewish Quarter (Josefov) in Prague. It was an overwhelming day because we also visited Pinkas Synagogue which is now a Holocaust Memorial.
Charles Bridge
What a beautiful city. I still have not been able to take a good picture of the Charles Bridge. We woke up at 6:30 yesterday hoping to get a picture of it while it’s not jam-packed with people, but the weather report had completely changed, and it was raining.
Today we woke up at 6:00 a.m., and finally managed to take some nicer photos of Charles Bridge.
King Charles IV commissioned the construction of this bridge in 1357.
It wouldn’t be a worthy attraction if there weren’t Chinese people taking wedding photos, would it? This couple has two photographers plus an assistant. Major production! Tower on the Old Town side. Charles Bridge is the second bridge.
Look how crowded the bridge is during the day! Tower on the Malá Strana side.
A Visit to The Pinkas Synagogue On the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue are written about 78,000 names of Holocaust victims, their dates of birth, and of death, if known.
