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.

Don’t forget to add a short background story for your entry with at least 30 words and let me just remind you one more time that only personal images will be accepted in the challenge.

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 @seetheworld.sgp:

This is probably a view you haven't seen that often: taken from my drone above Charles Bridge for a 5:00am sunrise. This was taken after a night out where my friends stayed asleep and I elected to stay up. I was shattered, but this view was oh so worth it.

Mariina skála, last weekend. Hey all, I'd like to share this wonderful place with y'all. Another stunning piece of land in the Bohemian Switzerland. Not far from the parking lot, a few individual rocks break out of the forest. One of them has got a little hut on top ;) A beautiful place to watch the sunrise (and the red moon eclipse)

Church of the Holy Trinity in Nove Lublice against cloudy summer sky. Nove Lublice is a picturesque small Silesian village located in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the Czech Republic, just a few kilometers from the Kruzberk Dam.

On our visit to Kutná Hora we discovered manifold gorgeous historic houses — a notable percentage of them actually with religious details like this one...!

Despite that I have never been a religious person ˋin the biblical sense´ (— and am most aware of all very harmful aspects associated with it —) I still entertain ˋa slight soft spot for our old traditions´ and was gently transformed back to my childhood and all positive ˋmagical´ elements they have brought to it... ~ 🌟 ~

Sedlec Ossuary
One amazing monastery filled with real peoples bones. Over 60,000 bones are decorative on the walls. There’s also a huge chandelier composed of every bone in the human body. Extraordinary Art if you can call if so, be creepy but definitely worth your while. Apparently you can stuff 60,000 people, or at least their bones in a very small space.

National Technical Museum
The most extensive part of the museum collection consists of machines produced prior to World War II. There have been roughly one hundred motorcycle manufacturers operating on the territory of what is now the Czech Republic.

The Czech Republic is a touristic superpower!

The Czech Tourists Club was founded in 1888. It currently has over 30,000 members, including about 1,700 volunteer "markers" who care about 40,000 km of pedestrian routes, 35,000 km of cycle paths and several thousand kilometers of trails for skiers and horse riders .
If you follow brands, you can not get lost. Each route is reviewed and repaired at least twice a year.
The Czech Tourist Club is also updating its maps.

Without the Vltava, Prague would be like an orchestra without a leader. The surface of the river creates a visual echo in Prague Castle and Vyšehrad Castle; its bridges connect the district of Smíchov to the New Town or Holešovice to Libeň. From spring to autumn, the Vltava is home to steamboats and paddle boats; solitary fishermen leave on its waves in the morning mist. And if you want to know the current face of the Vltava, go for a walk on the bank between the Mánes building and the Výtoň district. In season, you can go shopping at the local produce market and have fun in the bars; in winter, you can enjoy saunas installed in some of the boats that have anchored there.

Beautiful big Catholic Church. Inside there is a huge orchestra and a lot of a beautiful fresco windows. The outside is very gothic like to get inside is very Nevo gothic. Surrounding it are small gardens statues. Kutná Hora is family friendly and St Barbara's Church offers an amazing view and historical insight.

Great image! Thank you for that. I love that place.

I am glad you like this one.

The Petrin Tower is located on the top of the Petrin Hill in Mala Strana area of the city. It was a landmark built in 1891 and is built to resemble the Eiffel Tower. It is very popular among younger visitors to the Petrin Hill (I was there a little while and always lines of youngsters). I spent about roughly 45 minutes walking up the top of the hill (as an old man) and I have no desire to walk up the tower to see the city.

The confluence of the Elbe and the navigation channel, which is below the town of Melnik. To my bad luck, the clouds were little colored in the morning. But even so, I enjoyed a beautiful morning by the water.

Amazing shot, thank you so much for that.

"Under the blue sky there is a golden city" ... The words of one very famous song in the past ...
Yes, that's how I saw Prague - a fairy-tale city. It really looks like a fairy tale - cute little houses, quaint turrets, cathedrals, narrow cozy streets, nice and friendly townspeople ...
So you want to stay there in this fairy tale, to wander all these lovely streets all day long, to look into small shops, which are not only in the center of the city, but also in the outskirts, dining in cozy restaurants ...
And in the evening Prague really becomes golden. When it gets dark, in the center of the city include highlighting the main attractions, and from this the city becomes even nicer and cozier.

Mikulov is a town in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic offering such monuments as the Mikulov Castle, the Holy Hill. You could hardly find a town with a more beautiful position than Mikulov. It is spread on the last hills of the Pálava Mountains and surrounded with vineyards, located directly on the border with Lower Austria.

something a bit different...! I like it a lot ~ ✨ ~

St Bartholomew's Cathedral
Beautiful building and dominant of Pilsen Square. The view from the tower to the whole of Plzeň is really breathtaking and it is worth the effort to climb up. We climbed to the tower before noon, and after that we enjoyed a nocturnal gesture as it spoke around. It needs to be tested on its own.

Panorama roof view of the world's most beautiful city. I would love to return to Prague one day to further explore and appreciate its magnificent blend of architectural and cultural influences. It is a magical city – vibrant, historic and beautiful.

I took this photo the first time I visited Prague, in August 2002. You can see the Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) from outside the National Museum (Národní muzeum). The square located in the "New Town" is one of the most important in the city.

Thanks so much for the shout out @czechglobalhosts, I really do appreciate it!

Please check out my blog if you want to see more, hope to keep all you Steemians entertained @seetheworld.sgp

You would expect a little cheeseyness for an old brewery tour, but this is that and more. Very modern presentation of the brewing process, and an extensive look at all of it. The best part, they draw you a fresh glass of this outstanding beer right from a barrel in the cellar. Definitely worth your time. And check out the town as well, amazing architecture! It's amazing. If you are in Prague you MUST go to Pilsen and visit the brewery.

The Charles bridge is beautiful. Great views over the river from either side. The only downside is the overwhelming amount of tourists, Prague is general is swamped with them, can take away from it so I’d advise going early in the morning to enjoy it most. All that aside it’s also a beautiful place at night. Well worth checking out.

With this beautiful image, I hope your mood has improved. great picture!

We went there on vacation for 10 days and going to the old Town Square was something we dreamt of long time ago. This place is magical and is something you have to see for yourself. The only downside was that we couldn't see the clock because they were making a renovation on it.
