Over the holidays I was able to process my photos from my last trip to Europe. I spent the entire month of October in Germany and was able to experience more of the country I have grown to love. On this trip, I revisited the cities of Trier, Frankfurt & Luxembourg and visited the cities of Rothenburg & Koblenz, Germany & Prague, Czech Republic for the first time. I had heard that Rothenburg had become too touristy but it was an absolute breathtaking “walled city” and touristy or not, Rothenburg is a must visit for anyone visiting Germany for the first time. It took me three visits to Germany before I made it over there but it was worth the wait because on this trip my family visited me for a week so we had the opportunity to experience Rothenburg together.
Prague on the other hand was a last minute, crazy weekend getaway with the intent to absorb as much of the city as I could in 24 hours. Prague didn’t disappoint and in reality the only disappointing part of this trip was that I didn’t get to enjoy it with anyone. Although being solo has its advantages as I can cover a lot of land on foot and barter my way through many of the shops for souvenirs in no time. I do look forward to the day when I can come back and visit the city over several days and take in the sights at a slower pace. The architecture in Prague was absolutely stunning and the city is a romantic oasis. Everywhere you turned, couples were holding hands or kissing. For the most part, you generally see this in Europe but its was notably more in Prague and only second to Paris in this category.
The galleries of Trier , Frankfurt , Landstuhl , Koblenz , Rothenburg and Prague can all be viewed by clicking on the city name.
