a city for the tourist

prague is a very beautiful city with a ton of cultural significance. the only down side is that it is full of weekend travelers, (casinos and brothels everywhere) the through backpacker, and the casual sightseer. i was with a few friends that i was studying with along with frederick, an argentinean who was going around through germany and surrounding countries for about 2 and a half months.
i was there for around 3 days and while in the past i have always tried to fit everything in all at once, this time i wanted to make sure that i was able to take everything in. i knew that in 3 days, i was going to have enough time to fit everything in with leisure time to spare. this extra time allowed me to do a little more while still being able to see what i wanted.
this is a pic of the astronomical clock and calender in the old town square. i was able to go up to the top of the tower and get a view of the surrounding city. i have always loved to go up in the towers to see the views and in prague i was able to go in 3 towers, old town square, charles bridge and the petrin tower which was about 20 minute walk straight up a hill side followed by about 250 steps in a tight staircase. the view was by far the best of the city and you could see right into the middle of prague castle where st. vitus's cathedral is located. these are the views i have always loved to see and i look forward to these spots whenever i go somewhere to visit.
if u ever make these trips on your own , i recommend that you take the time to walk, and forget the mechanical transportation...not only is it something that betters your health, you appreciate it more in the end. also its been said when in rome do as the romans do...only the tourist take the public transport.
and like the title says, a city for the tourist...its never fun to feel like a tourist
