The Golden City

Last week I spent a few nights in Prague, which I fully recommend to anybody since it is affordable (when compared to Western Europe) and very beautiful (an intact Baroque city). It is the 'city of a hundred spires':

a city of stunning churches:

.

a city which gave the Abbess of its oldest convent (St George's in the castle compound) the privilege of wearing a coronet:

a city in which you occasionally find grafitti in Latin:

a city of great beers - and which openly sells Absinthe, a highly alcoholic drink made from wormwood and banned in many countries:

Over the next few days I will try to do some further Prague posts.
