Prague, Czech Republic


We took a few hours of train from Salzburg to Prague.


The scenery in the Czech Republic countryside is different from Austria and Germany as they are less developed and their trains and stations looks old and worn off.


We reached Prague in the evening and we were welcomed by the sights of casinos and these shops selling adult videos and photos around the city.
