The weather is not very stable, most of the time it is cloudy and sometimes drizzling, so the sky in the photo is full of dark clouds, but no matter when you see such a beautiful building with a natural river scenery, I really thank God for the beauty of creation.
The Charles Bridge, known as the Museum of Baroque Sculpture, connects Prague's castle district and the Old Town, the sculptures on the bridge are exquisite, the Vltava River under the bridge is gurgling, the restaurant on the bank is full of comfortable diners, and there is a statue of St. John in Nepomuk in the middle of the bridge, which is the most representative statue on the Charles Bridge, and it seems to be the only bronze statue, when John was ordered by the king to throw himself into the river from here.
The biggest feature of Charles Bridge is that there are 30 statues of Christian saints on both sides of the bridge, each of which is very distinctive and has a baroque gorgeous style, making the whole bridge full of antique and delicate beauty.
In addition to the Charles Bridge, the most popular attraction in Prague is "Staroměstské náměstí"! It is also known as "Prague Square", and it can also be called "Hus Square" because there is a statue of Hus, the pioneer of the Czech Reformation in the middle of the old square.
The Old Town Square can be said to be the busiest square in Europe with the most attractions! Tyne Church, Old Town Hall, Astronomical Clock, St. Nicholas Church are all here, and there are also special buildings worth seeing around the square, such as the House of Our Lady of the Stone, the House of the Unicorn, and the House of the Stone Lamb.

A concert was arranged in the evening, the venue was St. Nicholas' Church, which was temporarily arranged, because when I visited the Old Town Square in the afternoon, I passed by St. Nicholas' Church and happened to see someone selling tickets in front of the church.

After listening to the concert, it was raining outside the church, cold and hungry, and I saw a stall selling Czech hot dogs in front of the city hall, which looked very delicious, so I quickly bought one to satisfy my hunger, this is tonight's dinner, because the portion is very large, so it is enough for two people to share one, it is really economical, and I ended today's trip while eating hot dogs.
