Prague

Prague reminds me of Bratislava, unsurprisingly as they were once part of the same country.  Even those who speak Czech and Slavic can mostly understand each other.

As with most of the cities I've been to since Barcelona, the Old Town is once again the main tourist attraction.  I tried biking through it, but the cobblestone pathways made that quite cumbersome.  I also had a huge blister from playing capoeira in Munich and Vienna, so walking was not much easier at the time.

On the first night, I went to a Reggae bar with some people from the hostel, and while that itself is not noteworthy, the atmosphere of a bar that felt like a small cave is definitely pretty cool.

The Czech Republic's most defining piece of recent history is being controlled by the Soviets as Czechoslovakia.  The museum of communism isn't quite in the city square, but it's worth checking out.  Compiled by an American historian, the museum includes a lot of documentation of post-WW2 Soviet Union as well as some aspects of other communist regimes, i.e. North Korea.
