Silvester in Prague (New Years Eve in Prague)

Happy New Year!

This year Jeremy and I rang in the new year in Prague, however, we got to do it with our family! My mom arrived on the 27th of December and Jeremy's mom and brother flew in on the 31st. And so the fun began. After rolling our luggage all over Prague to our hotel and relaxed a bit, we walked to the Old Town Square to see the festivities. Prague is a beautiful city, but at night it becomes a truely magical place. So ofcourse new years eve was even more spectacular since there were christmas lights everywhere as well as the occational firework.



There were a lot of people in Prague for new years eve, mostly foreigners in the typical tourist locations, so there was a sense of being a part of something big. In both the Old Town Square and Wencislas Square there was live music and people gathering to count down to the new year, which led to people setting off fireworks among large crowds of people. It was definalty an exciting way to bring in the new year, however there were times it looked more like a war zone than a new years celebration. I wouldn't want to be the person who had to clean up all the spent fireworks and broken glass the next day.
