During a festival at Easter time in Florence, a years old tradition takes place where a symbolic cart is burned. Fireworks and the smoke they produce make the duomo a very sightly and eerie place as it is back-lit by the early morning sun. Within the charming section of Temple Bar in Dublin, Irish pubs abound like this charming one with its flower boxes and colorful ceramic facade. Prague will always amaze architectural enthusiasts.
