Castles, Canoes & Cobblestones: My Czech Escape

📍Czech Republic — where every step feels like walking into a fairy tale 🏰✨ Our journey began in the heart of Prague, standing in the middle of the Old Town Square with its Gothic towers and colorful facades. The Astronomical Clock struck the hour, and crowds gathered like magic — even in modern times, this city knows how to charm 💫📸 A short stroll took us to the iconic Charles Bridge, where street musicians played under stone saints, and boats floated quietly beneath us. Just then, we spotted a group of canoeists paddling along the Vltava River, gliding gently through the arches of the bridge 🚣♂️🌉 It was unexpected, serene, and gave the ancient bridge a lively modern twist. Next, we escaped to the picture-perfect town of Český Krumlov 🏡 Narrow cobbled lanes, a hilltop castle, and a lazy river wrapping around it — it felt like time stopped here. We spent the afternoon wandering aimlessly, taking too many photos, and sipping hot drinks by the riverbank. Czech Republic offered us more than history — it gave us atmosphere, rhythm, and stories at every turn. Definitely a place I want to return to, slower and longer. #travel #couplestrip #czech
