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 @magnata:

Toy Museum. This extraordinarily light and fabulously beautiful museum is located on the territory of Prague Castle, next to the famous Zlata Street. A ticket to the museum is sold in the building of the museum, the cost of a general ticket for the Prague grad is not included. Costs 60 kroons. The founder of the museum is Ivan Steiger, my great respect to him! The museum has been operating since 1989. Ivan Steiger director. I was there in 2015, but I heard that the museum moved, I do not know.

Prague, and especially its historical center is a very dense city (although the narrow streets and passageways contribute to its charm), and it felt good to catch a breath of air at the Strahov Monastery garden. Here I am peeking through the vineyards at the city and beyond.

What an amazing view which I am sure many will enjoy in today´s edition. Tomas

Thank you very much, and for making this the cover photograph of todays post. It was an amazing view indeed. Falling in love with Prague is so easy...

Sorry to "spam" with another winter shot when the winter seems to be finally over but this peaceful still life has been hiding on the bottom of my photo gallery from Brno and it was not until now when it caught my attention. Located in Brno - Julianov, this beautiful park is a popular chill-out spot for residents of several surrounding neighborhoods. I enjoyed roaming the snow-covered paths in January 2017.

When in Prague you have to walk across the Charles Bridge. The bridge can be very busy but if you go in the early morning or walk down to it from the castle you can get some great pictures. The statues are remarkable and each one has a tale to tell.

I never forget to walk back and forth at least once when in Prague... As touristy as it is I just love it!

After reading your post about the problems caused by “love locks”, I decided to post this photo about the subject. It was taken on a bridge at Čertovka (also called Little Prague Venice), located at the "Lesser Quarter" (Malá Strana) of Prague.

Great to have some reaction to the post! Thank you so much. For those that missed it: Love locks: serious problem in many European cities including Prague

I took this photo from the Bridge of the Bridge in Prague. For travelers and their children in the capital of the Czech Republic there is a place for recreation and entertainment. Children have fun, parents are resting.))

After longer period of time that I have been without connection to the internet I have prepared a post from Sychrov castle garden. To this day very valuable woody plants are preserved, especially from original plantations. The park has an area of 26 hectares. Also for example, there is an orangery or a fountain.

The main treasure of Prague, the Cathedral of Saints Vita, Vaclav and Vojtěch. The size of the cathedral is impressive: its length is 124 meters, the height of the highest South tower is 96.5 meters. On the tower of the South Tower is opened a viewing platform, with which Prague is visible as in the palm of your hand. . A total of 287 steps along the spiral staircase, and you are at an altitude of almost 100 meters. The ticket for the bell tower is purchased separately, either directly on the spot, or at any ticket office of the Prague Castle, worth 150 kroons. When buying a ticket give a souvenir coin.

A walk through Karlín Square is the best thing for those who wish to leave the fairy tale of the center of Prague to the reality of a changing and lively city. There are times when this place reminds me of Berlin. It has wide boulevards, restored modernist buildings, restaurants and modern cafes, parks and industrial buildings converted into cultural. A place that should not be missed.

Actually, this is more of a location that most tourist wouldn´t go to which is a shame. It is a nice little neighborhood well worth visiting.

Cheb

It is located in the Karlovy Vary region, next to the Ohře river, at the foot of the Smrčiny mountains and close to the border with Germany. In the image you can see the colorful houses that represent the city and in the background the Church of St Nicolas.

A random picture from Prag. I really like the architectural structure of Czech Republic.. I don't know the name of this location and this building but maybe you can clarify @tomas.

That is a Municipal House at Namesti Republiky close to a famous Powder Tower. It is mainly used for concerts and exhibitions. It has a gallery, restaurant and few shops located inside as well. Hav a great day. Tomas

Tnank you so much for your information..
