There are many buildings such as the King's Building, the Maximilian Palace, the Banquet Hall Building, the Bavarian Opera House, and the General Memorial Hall in the Munich Palace District. Due to the different eras and functions, these buildings may be brilliant, grand, simple, or complicated, with different styles, but the noble atmosphere is the common feature of the buildings in the Munich Palace District. If you see a lion statue in Munich's Royal Palace area, remember to touch the lion's nose, so that you can get blessings. Of great interest in the Royal Palace is the Old Royal Theatre, a rococo gold-red architectural treasure still in use. The magnificent Museum of Antiquities is an imposing hall, 69 meters long, built in 1571 as a candidate library, a very large non-religious Renaissance synagogue north of the Alps, now the State Ballroom.

The Charles Bridge connects the old town and the small town of Prague. It is a landmark building in Prague, and it is also the oldest stone bridge in the city. It is often said that "you have come to Prague by crossing this bridge". Inscribed on the World Heritage List This is a Gothic stone bridge imitating the Roman Angel Bridge, and it is the only way for the coronation procession of the kings of the past dynasties. In 1992, the Charles Bridge was included in the World Heritage List. When it was first built, its name was "Stone Bridge". It is said that egg yolks are also mixed into the raw mortar for reinforcement. The open-air Baroque Statue Museum Charles Bridge is 516 meters long and has a particularly wide deck. The bridge is known as "Europe's open-air Baroque sculpture gallery". There are various sculptures and reliefs decorated on both sides of the bridge. There are a total of 30 saint sculptures, all of which are masterpieces from Czech masters of the 17th and 18th centuries. It is said that behind each statue there is a touching historical story. Statue of St. John Among the many statues on the Charles Bridge, the statue of St. John is the more famous one and is considered to be the "official" guardian of the Charles Bridge. St. John, a cardinal, offended the king because of the political and religious struggle, and was sentenced to death and thrown into the river. A golden cross is engraved in the middle of the fence, where St. John was thrown from the bridge. Touch the statue and pray for happiness It is said that as long as you touch the statue of Charles Bridge with your heart, you will get a lifetime of happiness. Many bronze reliefs become very bright because too many people touch them. Most of the sculptures on the bridge have now been replaced by replicas, while the originals are kept in Prague's museums.

There are art painting booths on both sides of the bridge, and many street painters paint on the spot, and most of the themes are taken from the Charles Bridge.

It's still amazing without the "Wishing Pond" "I stood on the square in Prague at dusk and cast my hope in the wishing pool..." You must have heard Jolin Tsai's "Prague Square", this song describes being surrounded by ancient medieval buildings Prague Old Town Square. But the reality is that there is no "wishing pool" mentioned in the lyrics in the square, but the fairy tale atmosphere that pervades here is enough to amaze you. Prague's Old Town Square was built about 900 years ago. It is a famous square in Prague's history. It is located between Wenceslas Square and Charles Bridge. It is also the heart of the whole city. In the center of the square, there is a statue of Hus built in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Hus, President of Charles University. There are various styles of buildings around the square, including Gothic architectural masterpieces such as Tien Church and St. Nicholas Church in Baroque style. The astronomical clock on the outer wall of the old city hall is very popular with tourists. It will tell the time every hour. The window above the astronomical clock is opened, the bells are ringing in unison, and 12 icons appear one by one in the window like a revolving lantern. People bow. If you are interested, you can also climb the tower of the old town hall to overlook the panoramic view of the old city. The roof of the city is almost painted red, and the spires of the slightly protruding bell tower church are all green. They are messy and messy. Neatly distributed throughout the city, the vibrant colors give the Prague fairy tale flavor. Square Events The Old Town Square is not only a popular tourist venue, but is also frequently used for New Year's celebrations, holiday markets (Christmas and Easter) and gatherings. On weekdays, there are many street performers performing in the square, and many local young people come here to take wedding photos. You can buy some bread to feed the free-flying pigeons in the square, or you can spend some money to take a horse-drawn carriage to explore the corners of the square. There are many cafes around the square. If you are tired, you can order a cup of coffee in the open-air cafe, and don't miss grilled sausages and ice cream. It is a refreshing thing to enjoy the music and dance in the square. There are many small shops in the alleys around the square, selling all kinds of art goods, if you like, you can buy some as souvenirs.Czech Republic · Prague

We choose the horse carriage ride up, it was €8 a person. It took around 20 minutes and we enjoyed the forest view. Make sure to arrive and park at least an hour early. The entrance time is exact to every 5 minutes for crowd control. The entrance ticket includes an audio set and takes around 30 minutes. You are moved thru the rooms rather quickly. There are free lockers at information at the entrance area if needed. No pictures can be taken during the tour. **not handicapped friendly ** must be able to walk for 2-3 hours and climb up and down many flights of stairs. There are no elevators. We planned to walk down but it began to rain. So we took the horse carriage again -/€4/person.

The Munich Residence is one of the most impressive historical attractions in Munich. The palace is beautifully decorated with grand halls, elegant rooms, and detailed artwork that show the wealth and history of the Bavarian royal family. I enjoyed walking through the different sections of the palace, especially the lavish rooms filled with paintings, chandeliers, and antique furniture. The museum was well organized, and there was plenty of information about the history of the building and its former rulers. The peaceful courtyards also provided a nice place to relax during the visit. Overall, the Munich Residence offers a wonderful mix of history, art, and architecture. It is a must-visit for anyone interested in culture and royal history, and I would gladly visit again.

It takes climbing some steps to reach Prague Castle. St. Vitus Cathedral was under renovation, which slightly affected the view, but overall it was very worthwhile. Golden Lane, where Kafka's birthplace is located, is tiny. I also bought a separate ticket for the bell tower and climbed up to get a bird's-eye view of the entire Prague skyline.

I visited Marienplatz in Munich and really enjoyed the lively atmosphere there. It is the main square of the city, surrounded by beautiful historic buildings and always full of energy. One memorable moment for me was hearing the town hall clock music play at the New Town Hall—it added a charming and unique touch to the whole experience, even though I did not stay for the full show. I also enjoyed walking around the square, watching people, and relaxing at a nearby café. It is a great place to feel the heart of Munich, with many attractions and shopping streets close by. Overall, Marienplatz is a must-visit spot that captures both the history and daily life of the city.

The Charles Bridge's towers resemble black, square monuments, and the smell of the Vltava River wafts through the archways. Thirty statues of saints stand on either side, the most famous being St. John of Nepomuk, his bronze relief gleaming from being touched so many times. Stalls selling sketches and bracelets line the bridge, but quiet descends in the middle. At dusk, swans glide past the piers, their flapping wings clearer than human voices. Looking down from the archways, the castle district's spires become silhouettes in the setting sun.
