Prague Castle and Old Town

I arrived in Prague mid afternoon on what was a clear and rare sunny day for Prague in January. I checked in at the gorgeous Miss Sophie’s Hotel and then headed up to the castle, in case the weather for the rest of my trip didn’t hold up I wanted to make sure I got to see a sunset over the city.

I was worried that the sky wouldn’t deepen but the longer I waited the more colour it got.

Until the whole sky was beautiful purple hue against the red rooftops of Prague

When I ventured back into the castle grounds the sunset was even better

I wandered around chasing the sunset until it was dark. Prague is just as beautiful at night as it is during the day.

I headed back to my hotel to get ready for a traditional Czech dinner at Hajnovka before settling into my room for the night.

Fortunately it was another clear day. I could see how sunny it was out my windows

So I headed down the beautiful staircase to breakfast which is actually at Miss Sophie’s Hotels sister the hostel across the road.

Before heading out for a day exploring the Old Town of Prague.

There were beautiful colourful buildings everywhere I looked.

Old town square was beautiful in the sunlight.

The powder towers also shouldn’t be missed. 

While wandering around I found this gorgeous door. So I obviously pretended it  was my own house. (A moment after this photo was taken a person came out.)

To end the day I headed back to old town square to check out the rooftops of Prague.

Before the snow started coming down.

The snow made Prague look like a fairy tale town. Almost making the -11 temperatures worthwhile.
