Summer House
This past week I had two of my good friends visit Prague on UD’s spring break. Together the three of us explored all Prague’s major attractions. Collectively we decided that the summer house and the Prague castle were the best two the city has to offer. The Summer House (also known as the Belvedere) is a 16th century building that once served as a recreational residence for Prague royalty. One of the largest ancient castles in the world, the Prague castle filled our eyes with its stunning architecture and high towers.
After being abroad for three months familiar faces were the just the thing I needed to undo my homesickness. While also a tourist in Prague, I enjoyed playing tour guide for the a couple days to my visitors, and found it truly thrilling showing them all my new favorite places in an beautiful new city.
