A Mystical Summer Evening in the Golden City of Prague

Yesterday was a Wednesday, which is typically a day for me to spend time with my family and engage in activities outside; but, even if you had stuck a pin in the ground, all of the picnic and recreation areas would have been completely occupied.

I wanted to find a place to have a picnic and I decided to travel to Prague, which is a city not too far away.

When you first arrive in Prague, you will have the sensation that you have traveled to a fantastical new location.

As a result of the heavy air and the shift in temperature, you get the impression that you have moved to a new location.

Because the air in both Prague and this place smelled like the famous author Kafka, they were connected. If you go to Prague and follow in the footsteps of the author Franz Kafka, you will find yourself in the very center of the city.

Do not be misled by the fact that Kafka wrote his novels in German; the author genuinely made Prague his permanent residence. As a direct consequence of this, it is not unusual to come across t-shirts, posters, and various other pieces of memorabilia all over the city that contain the author's likeness.

On the same street where St. Nicholas Church is located, Franz Kafka was born, and to this day, a modest cafe called the Kafka Cafe may be seen there during the summer months.

You can also go to house number 22, which is located on Altn Yol. This is where he lives with his sister. The Kafka Museum has a collection of the well-known author's writings, as well as his photographs and diaries.

On the way to Prague Castle, we went through a neighborhood that was full with homes that were really interesting to look at.

One of the distinguishing features of this area, which is the fact that it has defended itself by asking challenging historical questions.

In the past, addresses were denoted by symbols painted on the front doors of homes. These symbols were selected according to the types of jobs held by the people who lived there.

When you come across recurrent icons like a violin, lion, or key, keep in mind that you are reading the life tales of people from earlier generations.

This is my #wednesdaywalk contribution for the wonderful challenge by @tattoodjay!

Happy walks everyone!
