Here is the Jewish Quarter. The streets there were a bit wider than in the Old Town, and the buildings a bit bigger too, but they were also more fancy looking. Apparently the former jewish ghetto was largely demolished and redeveloped around the turn of the century.

More of the Jewish Quarter, a lot of the buildings looked like little castles.

After that, we headed back through Old Town Square...


And then headed West.




Along the Royal Route, which is permanently packed with tourists.


And to the river.

The last place we checked out Prague was the Kampa Island area, right next/under the Charles Bridge, between a small canal and the river.

Northern part of Kampa Island from Charles Bridge.


Canal going under Charles Bridge.


This picture was taken through the rails of a "lovers bridge". A few bridges in Europe will have locks attached to them by lovers (and then they throw away the key into the river). This one was totally covered. Beyond is a restaurant overlooking the canal.


Charles Bridge.




Venice is up next.

They are all over the place in Philadelphia. In DC, they run the lines in the alleys. You also see power lines deeper in Brooklyn.
