Prague's Personalities

Prague, Czech Republic

A doorway on one of the buildings along Zlata Ulica. Zlata Ulica is a street inside the hrad complex lined with little brightly-painted hobbit-houses, which used to be homes and shops for craftsmen. Now, it's shopping.
.
I hadn't thought too much about well known Prague's personalities before my trip. Mostly they are writers and composers that I'm not familiar with. On the other hand, without really trying, I stumbled across Tycho Brahe's grave (a pillar in the Tyn church; I think I found the right one, but I couldn't see any special marking), and I had coffee a couple of times in the Cafe Louvre, which was a haunt of both Einstein and Kafka (not at the same time, though). One improvement since then is the addition of no-smoking areas.
.
This also gives a clue to part of Prague's personality: lots of culture, in the form of theater, music, and books; plus lots of cafes, restaurants, and bars.
