For the first weekend in Czech Republic, the group decided to experience the culture of Prague and stay for the weekend. Some of the Italy group had never been to Prague either, so they made the journey and we all visited the culture together.
Touring the city with everyone was a great experience. Most of the Prague group felt so comfortable with the city already that they were able to lead the Italy visitors around and show them their favorite places in Prague. We visited Wenceslas Square, the Astronomical Clock, Old Town, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle (Hradcany Castle).
Another big part of the Czech culture is their beer. Walk around and ask any Czech local what they're known for and you will get the same answer, "Pivo" (beer in the Czech language). There happened to be a beer festival happening north of the city, so the group made the journey to really experience some Czech culture. We experienced true Czech Cuisine, some great beer, and some very different but good music.
It was a very eventful weekend but every one seemed to really enjoy the culture and wished they could experience it longer.
