Part of me is still in Prague

Prague Castle, originally uploaded by redchook.

For the past couple of nights, I’ve been wistfully dreaming of going back to Prague. Never have I been so mesmerised by the beauty of a city, with its quintessentially European charm, and exuberantly rich history. I understand that I only experienced the “tourist” Prague, but you just get the feeling that the city has so much more to offer. It seems like the perfect place to indulge in culture, fashion, tradition and architecture. And here I thought that NYC was the only place to offer all that.

Prague is exactly the kind of city that will display a different appeal throughout the various seasons. When we went in winter, we were blessed enough to witness the gloriously white of snow enveloping parts of the city. It was as though we had walked into a movie set. That’s it. Prague is like a city specially built for a Hollywood blockbuster. The beauty almost seems unreal.

I’d love to go back in the summer, when the weather is still cool enough but less biting, when the sun will stay up to shed its light on the skyline, when the flowers at the Castle Gardens are in full bloom, and when all the castles are open for us to get lost in. Anyone? :)
