Czech Republic - Prague

Prague was, hands down, the best city that Elizabeth visited. Their airbnb host sent a driver to the airport to pick them up, and the drive into the city was beautifully scenic. The airbnb was situated in the Old Town area of the city, so they were right in the thick of all the historical landmarks and culture.

On Saturday, after dropping off their luggage at the airbnb, the girls set out to explore the city. They crossed one of Prague's many bridges and hiked up to the famous Prague castle. They then proceeded to climb up the castle tower (over 280 steps) from which they could see a panoramic view of the city. Unfortunately the skies opened up and it poured and thundered for about two hours (this was actually really cool to see from the tower!). Luckily Abby, Sophia and Elizabeth were prepared for this to happen and they managed to fill the time by eating lunch at the castle's cafe.

They explored more of the city in the evening, going to the Old Square and the Charles Bridge, and stopping in a bunch of touristy shops. On Sunday, they got brunch and continued to walk around and take in the city, enjoying time in parks and a flea market. Prague was a really relaxing and enjoyable experience for all of them and they wished that we had more time there! Shoutout to Lee's cousin Alison for recommending places to visit and eat in Prague.
