Beautiful Prague

Prague is a living, functioning capital of Czech Republic, yet somehow serene air always seems to envelope the city.

I love how John Banville beautifully described the impression.

"The sounds of the traffic, the voices in the streets, the tolling of bells and the chiming of innumerable public clocks, all resonate against the background hush as if against a high, clear pane of glass."
- John Banville, Prague Pictures



None of the noisy array of souvenir shops or ever growing crowd of tourists can ruin it. Prague is always picturesque, elegant, noble, perfect.
