Czech It Out
1888 PressRelease Travel adventurer Beth Brennan takes us on a photographic tour of Prague, the capital of
the Czech Republic, showing us what's new in the old city.
SAN DIEGO Prague has seen a lot in its history. Empires have risen and fell, wars have raged around it,
and yet, it still stands. While it has seen a lot, this means there's a lot to see while you're visiting. Beth
Brennan, personal adventurer and cofounder of Finding Woo (http://www.findingwoo.com), discovered
this firsthand. She traveled to the city, bringing back a unique perspective through her findings and
through her camera lens.
The capital of the Czech Republic has been at the center of European history. Some of that history is still
visible. Looking down on the city from the top of a tower, one can see rooftops cluster for miles, topped
with iconic spires that reach to the skies. Larger buildings look like castles, giving a medieval backdrop to
modern city life.
This history isn't forgotten. Rather, it informs the daytoday business of the residents. An intricately
detailed astronomical clock draws attention in the downtown. There's an Old Town section of the city,
which contains classics like the National Marionette Theatre. Every cafe serves beer, since the city is
renowned for this drink. In fact, the main tourism page for Prague has "Beer" as one of its main links,
leading to 28 breweries and pubs. Pedestrian walkways are bustling with people. Some are tourists. Some
are locals. Some are people plying their trade. There are scores of shops, cafes, artists, and performers
hustling for time and attention from the many passersby.
One of the most notable walkways is the Charles Bridge, commissioned in 1357. The 1,700foot span
crosses the Vltava River and serves as a place for vendors to hawk their wares to people enjoying the view.
Even Time Magazine notches it at number 2 on the top 10 things to do in Prague....
