Prague Castle

The Prague Castle dates back to the 9th century.  It is now made up of 60+ buildings all with different architectural styles, from Gothic to Romanesque.  The palace used to be the home of the Czech Kings and now houses the Presidents offices, as well as multiple museums.  Most of the castle is open to tourists.  We walked around the grounds, but I decided against venturing inside.  

Front of the castle - the flag was raised which meant the President was there

Main Entrance
Changing of the Guards happens here at noon 
(not quite Buckingham Palace, but interesting enough)

Lindsey & CoCo on the Castle Grounds

St. Vitus Cathedral

One of many stained glass sections of the cathedral

Leopold's Fountain - located just inside the main entrance or in the second courtyard
