I have strong believe that if you are going to a city for the first time you should have a guided tour around the city. Fortunately, i found a free guided tour around the city.
I thought that i would be late, but i was 10 mins earlier. Near Old square i saw a nice man and i understood that he would be my guide. There was a big crowd of people and only 4 guides. I don't know how, but i was in Pavel's group.
Pavel (or Paul) was born, raised and lives in Prague. He is really into history and I really liked it. First he told us some information about Old Square.
After we went to the tiny street where Pavel told us breatly the history of Czech Republic ("just remeber one thing : Czech Republic was always invaded"). Actually it's worth reading more about it.'Cause each espect influenced the architecture of city very much. As for me, i could easily notice the influence of communism. It's said that the best time for Czech Republic was before the Second World War.
We had many stops during the tour, but i couldn't stop staring at anything like this...
I won't tell you the whole excursion, but i would like to mention one part of the city ... Jewish part. I was left speechless when i heard some terrible stories about it...
I was shocked to see a woman standing near the wall and crying so hard!
Pavel told us about the expo of children's drawings which were made during Second World War. Out of 10 000 children only 2 500 survived.i hate wars.
Our excursion was close to the end... and i had little time to do what i wanted.
So i said "thank you" to Pavel, tipped him a bit and ran towards Old Square . Less than 3 hours were left before my flight to Paris, but i had to do THAT!

It's hard to believe, but this little building is older than that church behind!
The oldest university in Prague
absinthe
people singing on the street (ths time it was "call me maybe")

This is the cemetry. Just imagine, 12 layers of bones...
