This wonderfully spiky church is pretty imposing and there's so much to see it's incredible. Ornate is the word, with Gothic influences outside and Baroque ones inside. Look out for Tycho Brahe's grave, the altar and two blocked-off windows on the southern wall, where once Franz Kafka looked in as a child from his house!

We stumbled upon this by accident! It's a wooden church that looks totally crazy! We had to go back to our hotel to look it up online and found that it was built in the Ukraine and then moved to Prague centuries after!!

As a Christian, Bethlehem is close to my heart and I fell in love with this adorable church, dating back to 1391. I went for the sunday worship, all in Czech which I didn't understand but it was completely delightful.

An intersting find amongst the multitude of churches in Prague, this church was never completed and was intended to be a major landmark. What does exist though is stunning, with gold and colour everywhere despiter there being only about 4 rows of chairs, you sort-of feel like you've arrived directly at the altar! A lovely sense of peace.

This is the finest gothic cathedral I've ever seen. Its absolutely coated in gargoyles and has some incredible views of Prague stretching out below.
