Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a great day! :) As usually, I am here with my daily photo challenge where you can submit your personal images from your travels to Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic in the comment section below.

The best 15 entries of the day will get my upvote. I will then pick the absolute winner of the day from these 15 photos. The winning photo will be awarded with a bigger upvote and it will also be featured as the cover image for the challenge post the next day to give the author of the winning shot some more exposure and publicity.

There were many great entries submitted in the yesterday Prague/Czech Republic photo challenge and I had a hard time picking the best one. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @softa:

Another of the classic views that can be seen in the historical part of Kutna Hora. On the right is the Jesuit College and the Church of St Barbora in the background. The street that is framed by sculptures is called Barborská.

The Old Town Hall in Prague's Old Town Square is one of the most significant monuments in the Czech Republic. It was established in 1338 as the administrative seat for Prague's Old Town. Now, it is mainly used for the ceremonial purposes of the capital city, Prague. The historical town hall consists of a set of five medieval houses, the corner of which is adorned with a historical astronomical clock, a gothic oriel window and a massive rectangular tower. The lookout gallery on the town hall tower offers the most beautiful view of Prague.

What a wonderful image to be featured today and slowly start off up-coming weekend. Thank you so much. Tomas

The Old Town Bridge Tower (Staromestska Mostecka Vez in the Czech language) - an iconic architectural landmark found at the entrance/exit to the Charles Bridge in Prague and one of the most impressive and renowned Gothic towers in all Europe.

That's how Prague looks like form Kinský Garden. A lovely place to visit! Is a huge area located on the slope of Petřín Hill, and that's why you have a great view over the city from there. You can even see the fantsatic Zizkov Televison Tower.

Beautiful Old Town Square
The ambience of the place is something special, especially in the evening when everything is lit, the churches and buildings are even more intense. It is an eye-wide, especially the towers of Tyn Church. Accordingly many tourist groups are on the way, but there are enough "escape possibilities".

What a wonderful town. Really stunning views at lots of locations. Smaller than Prague but would prefer it any day. Such a beautiful place to visit! I had never heard of Cesky Kromlov prior to coming here! The town is quiet with beautiful buildings, amazing landscapes and terrific restaurants.

Vrtba Garden
This is a such magical Garden, is just beside the big tower. There is a fee to entry but is worthy. Is a perfect place to make a photo shoot or relaxing . On the top garden you have a heart taking view from the city. Loved every part of the garden. Beautiful place for a short 1 hour visit. Well worth it!

Apple Museum
Fascinating museum in the heart of Prague. The Apple museum is mandatory for fans of this brand. The museum tells the story of the company and the computers produced. The museum gives a complete perspective of the innovation led by Steve Jobs and his successors.

There are very nice views and beautiful lake. Always after visiting this place, I feel that all the worries have remained somewhere in the beautiful nature. It is not a place where you would not meet a man, but whether you enter the Adršpach Rocks from Teplice or from the main entrance, you will completely absorb the beauty of the place.

14 days ago, I set off for a trip to the area called Porta Bohemica. This area lies north of Litoměřice. It is an area whose history dates back to the earliest period of settlement of Bohemia. You can find many interesting natural beauties. Like the River Elbe, with deep valleys, volcanic hills, or the original deciduous forests.

KINGS COURT HOTEL is known as one of the best 5 star hotels in Prague, due to its high level of service, beautiful designs and luxury accommodations. The town is quiet with beautiful buildings, amazing landscapes and terrific restaurants.

Street crossing with tram in Prague

Somehow everything in this city seems more nostalgic than anywhere else. Be it the transportation or the buildings of course. I love walking down the streets and bathing in that sentiment, and then going to get some good food after taking lots of photos like this one from a few years ago (gotta go back soon!) :-)

Teplice Rocks are perfect for climbing, which are not so popular as Adrspach Rocks but also very beautiful. You can visit both of the places are there is not so long trail between them. I took this picture this year.

Karlovy Vary is a resort town. There are many healing springs of mineral water, including hot springs.
At present, Karlovy Vary is a well-known health resort in the whole world. Here, not only therapeutic springs, the whole resort is a place that brings peace and harmony with itself. There is also the Imperial Curative now inoperative.

Lomeček, Quarry in Mrákov.
Super place for everyone for a trip with parents with children, schools, čundráky, divers.
A nice relaxing place. Very nice and quiet lake. Beautiful place and kept beautifully clean water :). The ability to look at the bottom of the quarry :)

The morning view of Charles Bridge is especially beautiful. You can take beautiful pictures if you go around sunset. In the daytime there are too many people and it is not suitable for taking stone pavements on the bridge. I think that it is good to go early in the morning.

beautiful view need to choose a good time to visit - with good weather rocks are full of people and, moreover, unsuitable footwear on the descent to the prospect. Wonderful place to relax. Amazing view of the landscape around you.
