Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a great weekend! :) As usually, I am here with my daily photo challenge where you can submit your personal images from your travels to Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic in the comment section below.

The best 15 entries of the day will get my upvote. I will then pick the absolute winner of the day from these 15 photos. The winning photo will be awarded with a bigger upvote and it will also be featured as the cover image for the challenge post the next day to give the author of the winning shot some more exposure and publicity.

Don’t forget to add a short background story for your entry with at least 30 words and let me just remind you one more time that only personal images will be accepted in the challenge.

There were many great entries submitted in the yesterday Prague/Czech Republic photo challenge and I had a hard time picking the best one. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @liltammy:

Beautiful view of the eastern part of the Hostivar Reservoir in Prague. It is a great place for wild swimming in summer but as you can see, it is a fun place to be in winter too. There a nice hiking trail all around the reservoir but it takes many hours to walk around it. Photo taken in December 2015.

Last one month i was on holiday at my home Czech Republic after 8 years in Thailand. I was so happy and i spend few days in Prague as well. This picture i took at Karls Bridge with view on Prague Castle. Prague its for me my favorite cite from all.

After 8 years? Wow, that is a while.... it must have felt so different after such a long time.

Yes, after 8 years. Was very strange mix of feelings. But on the end i think live looks there better then 8 years ago.

Arrived to U Zlate Podkovy Hotel - At The Golden Horseshoe, the receptionist gives us a map of the city by locating the hotel and the famous Wenceslas Square. We set our bags and decide to go out, no time to lose.

Before starting our tour I did not forget to take a picture for Prague Castle from one of the windows..

What a great location to stay in!

Today I present a nice photo of the Chateau Resort Sobotín, which is a place in the middle of the exquisite nature in the foothills of Jeseníky. This paradise has a kind "castle", where people get married.

This photo is in Old Town Square, view of the Church of Our Lady before Týn, a dominant feature of the Old Town of Prague, and has been the main church of this part of the city since the 14th century. For me it is just beautiful each of the places in Czech Republic.

Great click!

Now I know this is not a very fancy photo but dont let the appearance deceive you. What looks like an ordinary house is actually one of the most important Czech villas with a very impressive history. Located in Prague - Kampa, right next to the Vltava River, this house is known as the Werich Villa. Jan Werich, after whom the house is named, was one of the most popular and prominent Czech actors who lived in the house between 1945 and 1980. Other notable residents of the house were, for example, Josef Dobrovsky, Zdenek Wirth, Jiri Voskovec, Vladimir Holan and others.

St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague is so big and majestic that it is impossible to photograph it completely near it. Therefore, you have to come up with different camera angles. That's what every photographer gets his St. Vitus Cathedral, different from the others.

I'm trying to make some different shots, but I did not protect myself with one classical picture during my last visit to Prague. Here is a view from the Charles Bridge above the Lesser Town Bridge tower towards the Prague Castle, dominating the church of St. Vitus.

For carnivores only!

Here is the famous Prague ham turning on a spit at a street vendor’s stall on the edge of Old Town Square, It is sold by weight, and even though I asked for a small chunk, my portion was large enough to feed a family of eight. Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but I ended up having enough for two meals, one hot, one cold, and I can testify that it is indeed very delicious either way, and I could have eaten it every single day.
Can you say “yum”?

I want some:).... Just have to say it is really over-priced , ridiculously expensive!

Indeed! You almost have to sell your first-born to afford it, and a side order of smiles with it would have made the transaction a little less painful. Ooverpaying for certain things is part and parcel of being a tourist. You know that certain things are way overpriced, and you factor it in. I have to confess that I walked past the stalls and left empty-handed a few times precisely because I found it hard to spend that much of my hear-earned money, but in the end I knew that I would have regretted if I had left Prague without tasting its ham (and it was goooooood). You are 100% right though, caveat emptor!

Moravian Square, Brno. This winter was there ice-skating rink for the first time. On the left side you can see statue of Braveness (or also Jošt Moravský) by Jaroslav Róna. The building on the background is Vice-regent's palace (Místodržitelský palác) where Moravian Gallery exhibits old paintings. You can see also part of St. Tomas church on the left.

The house is made so that it seems that it is about to collapse, but this is only a visual illusion due to the unevenness of its lines.
The best architects worked on it and used the newest equipment to create it, but the project was managed by the president himself. They managed to create the effect of a falling house, frozen in dance. This house is also popularly called "Ginger and Fred", as these towers remind a little of a dancing couple. When walking through the streets of Prague, such a building, of course, is knocked out of the traditional buildings of the XIX-XX century. In this house there is now an office center, and on one of its last floors there is a large French restaurant. In 2016 there was opened a four-star hotel.

This beautiful piece of architecture can be found in Valtice (small village, South Moravian region). We went on a trip today, so this picture is new 😊 This masterpiece is called Kolonáda na Rajstně. It is cultural monument. It was built in 1817-1823.

I have never made it to this spot! Will do this summer:)....

For today's post I prepared photo from Liberec. In this photo you can see one of the most famous streets in Liberec - Fugnerova. There is main public transport station. Also there is a lot of shoping centres around.

This picture might look familiar to you because you have already seen this church in this contest – but in a daylight. Today I want to show you a beauty of this church at night. Architecture of this church differs from others. It was built between 1906-1910. Church is standing in Brno - Husovice.

Ještě když jsem chodíval do husovického Sokola, scházeli jsme se s klukama v tomto kostele na půlnoční. Krásná fotka.

Here is my picture for the contest. I took the photo from Manesuv Most which is a bridge crossing the moldau at Prague. It is in the near of the famous Carlsbridge. You can see on this picture one of the nice promenade of Prague. Good to take a slow walk there, not so hecti as in the city centre...

So excited to visit Prague this summer for 5 days. The little research I have done so far looks amazing.

Any suggestions on how to make the best of 5 days?

Yes, make sure you prepare your trip in advance. Have a list of all the spots you absolutely want to hit and group them in geographical areas so you don't have to back-track. Public transportation is super-efficient, clean and safe (this is not Paris or New York!!!!) and from each hub, walk, walk, walk, take in the neighborhood, and you'll find yourself discovering some cool places that weren't on your list without missing the ones that are.
You will love it!!!

Thank you for giving some great tips!

Follow this blog and you will find many great hints and ideas that will help you with your visit. Have fun and enjoy and of course take heaps of pics:)...

Prague is in my to do list... looks like a wonderful place. Really liked the photos.

Czech Republic is best known for beer and Czech hockey team with its living legend Jaromir Jagr!
The national ice hockey team of the Czech Republic is one of the most successful national ice hockey teams in the world. This image was taken in multi-purpose O2 arena during Ice Hockey World Championships in 2015.

This is my memory from Hřensko village, a popular touristic attraction in the region. The village and surrounding is beautiful indeed! High rock walls covered with moss create an impressive gorges near Hřensko.
I scrambled up a steep path up and was rewarded by this view.

We were in Prague in June 2013 after the flood. Walking along the Vltava, were suspended. And we walked along its shores. This photo was taken from the Charles bridge. In the photo-the Bridge of Legions (czech - Most Legií), which was built in 1839-1841 years. The opening of the bridge took place much later in 1901. During the existence of the bridge was repeatedly renamed and restored. It is very fond of walking tourists.
