Betlémská kaple I found my first destination, Betlémská Kaple, without a problem. Originally from the 13th century, the chapel has been rebuilt at least twice, most recenty after World War II.

Old Town streets After leaving the chapel, I began wandering in the general direction of some sites on my map. These are the kind of streets I walked.

Old Town streets Another street scene, quite like the one above. After a few more streets like this, with random angles, and streets names that all look the same, like Kaprova and Kotcich, I soon became lost and had to stop at a hotel for directions.

Old Town streets I thought this building was pretty cool, with its painted front.

Old Town streets The small square is just off Václavské náměstí, and was just about empty before 8:00 AM.

Budweiser There's a popular Czech beer named Budvar, which translates to Budweiser in German, but has nothing to do with the American brand. I didn't get a chance to try a Budvar.

Church of Our Lady before Týn The Church of Our Lady before Týn, which was built in 1365. Tycho de Brahe is buried in this church.

Church of St Nicholas The Church of St Nicholas, finished in 1735.

Powder Gate One of 13 entrances to the original old town, Powder Gate was started in 1475. It got its name in the 1600's, when it was used to store gun powder. It was rebuilt in the 1800's.

Cobblestone I took this in honor of my sore feet.
