Czech Republic - At exactly every hour, many tourists gather around the astronomical clock on the market square in Prague. Every hour the clock strikes and the figures on the clock come to life. High up in the tower, little men appear who strike a bell with a hammer. Hundreds of tourists witness this spectacle. From the surrounding terraces, people mainly watch the onlookers. I am also sitting on the terrace. I already watched the clock striking yesterday. I entertain myself just by watching the people. Prague is a lively city. The streets of the city are daily filled with countless tourists. From all directions, people travel to the Czech capital. Sometimes the city center feels like a living Disneyland, but more often it simply radiates friendliness. Whether you stroll across the Charles Bridge over the Vltava River, wander through Prague Castle, or stroll through the shops in the center, Prague has it all. This is now my third time in this city, and each time I discover new things to enjoy. The city of Prague is one of the most beautiful and charming cities in Europe. I will definitely come back here again.
