Our voyage to Ceský Krumlov has begun. Sorry for the blurry photo taken out of the train in motion. <br /> <br /> <u>Prague</u><br /> Prague (Czech: Praha) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of Bohemia. Situated on the Vltava river (Moldau), Prague is home to about 1.4 million people. <br /> Prague is a political, cultural, and economic hub of Central Europe, with a rich history and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably Charles IV (r. 1346–1378) and Rudolf II (r. 1575–1611). It was an important city to the Habsburg monarchy and Austria-Hungary. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and the Protestant Reformations, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the post-war Communist era. <br /> Population: 1,384,700 (2024)<br /> Elevation: 172 - 399 meters<br /> Area: 496.21 km2<br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Prague</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/147169018@N06/">Earthman.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/147169018@N06/55104981969/" title="Powder Tower in Prague"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55104981969_c7f2f14dae_m.jpg" width="191" height="240" alt="Powder Tower in Prague" /></a></p> <p>A night view of the Powder Tower (or Powder Gate) in the Old Town of Prague, Czech Republic. <br /> - Completed in 1475, it is one of the original 13 city gates. <br /> - It historically served as a store for gunpowder and is the starting point for the traditional Coronation Route to Prague Castle. <br /> - The structure is a prominent example of Gothic architecture in the city.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55104973589/" title="CZ Prague DPP museum tram 412 Rt 91 @ Vozovna Střešovice (0913)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55104973589_e15bf0d0f0_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="CZ Prague DPP museum tram 412 Rt 91 @ Vozovna Střešovice (0913)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dpirmann/">David Pirmann</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dpirmann/55104973724/" title="CZ Prague DPP museum tram 444 @ Tram Museum (2962)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55104973724_be1961ee63_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="CZ Prague DPP museum tram 444 @ Tram Museum (2962)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/meteorry/">Meteorry</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/meteorry/55104512966/" title="Praha hlavní nádraží - Praha (Czech Republik)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55104512966_119ec58cf1_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Praha hlavní nádraží - Praha (Czech Republik)" /></a></p> <p><b>Praha hlavní nádraží</b> 18/02/2025 09h01<br /> Mehdi inside the Jizny Espress.

In this piece, Smetana uses tone painting to evoke the sounds of one of Bohemia's great rivers. The piece contains Smetana's most famous tune. The composition describes the course of the Vltava, starting from the two small springs then flowing toward Prague, past the Vyšehrad, and then majestically vanishing into the distance.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/191326776@N05/">Marie N!</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/191326776@N05/55104565170/" title="Praag19"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55104565170_c086f60ebd_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Praag19" /></a></p> <p>Massagesalon Prague</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/meteorry/">Meteorry</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/meteorry/55102366867/" title="Praha hlavní nádraží - Praha (Czech Republik)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55102366867_5f8e1892da_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Praha hlavní nádraží - Praha (Czech Republik)" /></a></p> <p><b>Praha hlavní nádraží</b> 18/02/2025 08h54<br /> The IC533 we took from Praha hlavní nádraží to Ceský Krumlov was awaiting us when we arrived at the right platform.
