This is Lenka, our local guide in Praha. She is a Czech Anna Wintour in her chicness, but much warmer than I imagine the Vogue editor to be. Lenka spoke of life during and after Communism in the Czech Republic as she showed us the city. "In Communism, you had two choices - you go, or you go," she said when noting we were free to opt out of any part of her tour we did not wish to join. To my knowledge, we had no defectors. #makeportraits #praha #prague #czechrepublic #europe #globus #bohemiandream #travel #cnntravel #cnscenes #gothere #vsco #vscocam #vscogrid

Bratislava is a city with two faces. One shows the unmistakable weariness of the years of Communist rule with its stark, boxy buildings. This is the other face, that of Old Town, which shows the remnants of the glorious centuries when Bratislava was the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom. #oldtown #bratislava #slovakia #europe #globus #bohemiandream #travel #cnntravel #cnscenes #gothere #vsco #vscocam #vscogrid

This building is next to St. Martin's Cathedral in Bratislava, and its windows feature artwork created by local children. These vibrant paintings stand out among the faded walls of Bratislava's Old Town, which is actually quite lovely but in a much more subdued way. #stmartinscathedral #coronationchurch #bratislava #slovakia #europe #globus #bohemiandream #travel #cnntravel #cnscenes #gothere #art #painting #vsco #vscocam #vscogrid

Near Michael's Gate in Bratislava's Old Town, this dog waits patiently outside a restaurant for his owner, who hopefully will bring him some leftover wiener schnitzel. #dog #dogsofinstagram #dogsofbratislava #bratislava #slovakia #europe #globus #bohemiandream #travel #cnntravel #cnscenes #gothere #vsco #vscocam #vscogrid

It seems impossible to find a more beautiful city than Budapest, but I will take the search to Slovakia today just in case Bratislava is a worthy contender. #danube #danuberiver #budapest #hungary #europe #globus #bohemiandream #travel #cnntravel #cnscenes #gothere #vsco #vscocam #vscogrid
