Travel Tip: Black and white beauty of Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic

Hello fellow Steemians,

Welcome to my Travel Tip edition where I promote some of the most beautiful places and landmarks of my homeland, the Czech Republic. This time around, however, I have something special for you.

I recently saw some cool black and white images submitted by other Steemians in the B&W photo challenge, which inspired me to compile a little collection of B&W images from Prague.

So, without further ado, enjoy these black and white shots taken in the capital city of my beautiful homeland, the Czech Republic.
