Simply put, Prague is a magnificent city. And for me, it was one magnificent door after another. Prior to this trip to Prague (my second time in 6 months) my friend Dorothy had forwarded to me a picture of a door in Prague that she had seen online. She knows how much I love doors. When I saw the photo I knew I had to find it and take my own photograph. I researched “sunflower door, Prague” and I found it and got the address! Ahhhh the wonders of the internet! How did we ever get information prior to the internet? It is known as The Sunflower Gate. It was built in 1900 by Austrian born-Czech architect Osvald Polivka (1859-1931). He was associated with the Secession/Art Nouveau period in Prague. I was so thrilled to find it!!

If you need to store your luggage you can rent Luggage storage! Always love to see doors open to me. And in this blog I wanted to include this lovely walk through.

The second “door” in the row below was on a building across from the Charles Bridge. It was a door opening from an upstairs room so that one could step out on the balcony to enjoy the view. The third door was a door to the rest rooms at La Republica restaurant!

The next three doors were at the Strahov Monastery. There is also a beer garden here where beers are brewed by the monks.

The first door in the next set was taken in Kampa Park. This is an island located on the water’s edge next to the Charles bridge on the Vitava River. The next two are located in Lesser Town, the historical district in old Prague.

There were so many beautiful doors to be seen. I am quite certain that if I get back to Prague there will be many more doors for me to see.
