A great view




Well, this picture above is the cover of the official guide which is sold when you visite the castle in Czech Republic. As you can see, it is amazing. The guide is like a book with the history and lots of pictures from the rooms of the castle, because you can't take pictures inside, so it is worth to buy the guide book and keep with you memorables photos.

This castle was building in 1348 and was intended to serve as a place of safe-keeping for relics, incluiding the imperial coronation jewels, it was named after its founder CHARLES IV, Czech and German king and Roman imperor.


Let's walk around it:



This is the the train station that you take off near to the castle. I don't remember how long time takes from Prague to the castle, but it is very nice way with many beautiful views.

In the way you will see many small villages... look throught the window...

In the way you can teste a traditional Trdelník - it is made from rolled dough with sweet pastry which you can choose the flauvour, as I like chocolate it was one that I ate!
It is topped with sugar...delicious...




Can you read the flauvours in czech?





When you take off you will walk in these streets full of small shops( with wonderful gifts, souveniers...) and of course good restaurants with traditional czech food.
