Our last day in Prague covered all the bases: from history, to culture, to tacky tourist stuff, we did it all.
At the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror, we visited the church and crypt where a group of Czech resistance fighters made a final stand after being hunted down for their participation in Operation Anthropoid (here's the trailer for a recent movie that tells the tale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty50eiFkty4)
Of course we spent some more time on Wenceslas Square and in Old Prague.
We even went to a wax museum... and yes, it was as bad as you imagine one to be. But we balanced that part of our day with a wonderful concert at the Charles Bridge Palace of the Colloredo-Mansfeld Dynasty. Members of the Royal Czech Orchestra performed pieces from composers like Vivaldi, Bizet, Beethoven and Mozart. Krystoff Lecian was absolutely amazing on the cello.
Then it was a late dinner and a stroll through Prague back to our hotel where we will try to get some rest before tomorrow's travel back to the States.
