Prague Sights at Night

The full mode of autumn is officially in swing since we changed our clocks back an hour. The sun has nearly gone down now and it's only about 16:30 (4:30 pm). Of course, that's a long day in the eyes of winter, but give us some time will ya.

The one major positive in this change is that it's still warm enough to get out at night and enjoy the sights. I can't think of another city (maybe you can) that is just as beautiful at night as it is during the day. Plus, Prague is so walk-able that it's almost a must to get out after dinner and walk. And, of course, there will be less crowds. If that's not enough motivation I don't know what is ;)

Take the 22 tram up to Prague Castle and walk through the courtyards, see the view over the city and stroll across Prague and take in the cathedral from outside - its lights give it a completely different look. Then maybe walk down through Nerudova Street and have a tea at U Zelenyho Cafe then keep walking down the hill through Malostranske namesti and onto Charles Bridge. The view of Prague Castle at night from the bridge is mesmerizing - honest.

Here's a glimpse of St. Nicholas Church in Mala Strana (below Prague Castle).
