| Prague Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Old Town from castle Old Town from castle Richard Ehrenberg Prague is a city of unique and awesome beauty. It is home to a wealth of incredible buildings, structures and monuments that span several eras. A wealth of architectural forms, ranging from Romanesque and Gothic through Renaissance and Baroque to Art Nouveau, Cubism and Deconstructionist, co-exist in an unusual harmony. The Czech capital was blessed in the sense that the majority of its man-made structures survived the Second World War. Even the Socialist regime, with its penchant for cold strictly functional architecture, could not put a damper on Prague’s historical glow. In fact, in a jolie-laide way, there are socialist structures that serve to enhance the city’s attractiveness in the same manner as a mole is sometimes a beauty spot. Seeing the city in all its glory requires several days. The centre alone has plenty of gorgeous and quirky details that can be missed if going strictly by a guidebook. Of course, such structures and locations as Prague Castle, Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, Lesser Town Square and Petrin Hill are must-sees. But quarters outside the centre, such as Zizkov and Vinohrady, also have plenty to offer to those interested in sightseeing, dining, and drinking some of the world’s best beers and wines. The zoo in Troja is also worth mentioning as its standards, along with its number of attractions, have been increasing on a yearly basis. Prague is far more than just another pretty city. While those who want a restful stay will certainly find what they’re looking for, the city also boasts a rich cultural calendar and lively nightlife. Whether you want to spend a night at the opera, visit an art gallery, participate in open mic poetry performances, take in or dance to your favourite genre of music, chances are that on any given day or night you will find something that interests you. As the quantity and quality of goods and services continues to rise (though one should still be careful when it comes to taxi and restaurant rip-offs), Prague has become a prime destination not only for tourists, but for expatriates as well. The city’s central location and the Czech Republic’s excellent train and bus make it an excellent base for those who wish to see more of the country. Should you decide to visit Prague, rest assured that you will have to go to great lengths to get bored. Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe especially due to its historical sights such as the Prague Castle , Charles Bridge or the Old Town Square . It is therefore not surprising that the number of tourists visiting Prague is increasing from year to year exponentially. Nowadays Prague is becoming one the most visited cities in central Europe . Due to the increased incoming tourism activity the number of accommodation providers is increasing as well. You may find a large number of newly renovated hotels, bed and brea kfasts, pensions and cheap hostels. The highest tourism season in Prague is from April to October and during holidays such as Easter, Christmas or New Year’s. During the busiest season it is highly recommended to book your accommodation at lest on month in advance, for the New Year’s even earlier. The easiest way how to find accommodation is to the search the internet where you will find a lot of travel agents offering various possibilities of accommodation from cheap hostels and pensions to luxury 5 star hotels. You will usually find detail description of the hotel or apartment with pictures and rates. Most of the travel websites are not online connected with the accommodation provides so you will have to wait until the travel agent check the availability of your selected accommodation. _________Sights Edit This A busy Charles Bridge - must see A busy Charles Bridge - must see PhD There are many sights in Prague. A lot are covered in the section called 'A Perfect Day,' but it would be a shame to try to see too much in one day. One of the greatest pleasures in Prague is to walk almost aimlessly in the Stare Mesto [Old Town] and Josefov and admire the lovely streets. Walks more like rural ones can be enjoyed in Petrin, Visehrad and Letná, all providing wonderful views of the city.

It has to be, the different means carry over one million passengers each a day. The basic 8 KC ticket allows you to travel on only one means of transport for up to 15 minutes. The 12 KC ticket gives you 90 minutes and you can change your means of transport within the three services. These tickets can be bought either from the amazingly complicated machines in the stations, from Tobacco-Shops (where you ask 'yizdenky, prosim'), or often from the little stalls selling cheap books within the metro station areas. After you buy a ticket you have to validate it by putting it into a slot on the top of a yellow column at the head of the escalators. On a tram or bus you have to slide the ticket into a contraption attached to various columns in the bus or tram. You then pull the black lever on top towards you. This punches holes in the ticket. There are no regular ticket inspectors, but they do have spot checks quite often and they are entitled to fine you up to 500 Kc on the spot. (As with other fines, you don't actually have to pay on the spot even if it seems like it. He is able to give you a ticket explaining where and when you have to pay. For information (in various languages) on the bus system please call Prague 24 21 10 60. The main bus station is at FLORENC on Metro lines 'B' and 'C'. Metro trains are very efficient and can usually be relied upon to arrive every 3 or 4 minutes. The last one leaves its end of the line station, heading for home, at midnight. The normal bus and tram services operate from 04.30 to 23.30. After this time a special night service takes over. For information on the whole Prague public transport system (in English or German) call: 294 682. Various passes are available from the large metro stations (e.g. Mustek) and they provide excellent value if you mean to make use of the transport. They are valid for buses, trams, metro and the funicular. Some price examples are: 24 hours. 70 Kc 3 day 200 Kc 7 day 250 Kc 15 day 280 Kc. There are longer term passes for those staying much longer. Prices above here were corrected on 10/25/04 Three particularly useful trams are the 22/23 which go to the castle and the Strahov Monastery and the 17 which stays beside the river for much of its length. The main Railway station is 'Hlavni Nadrazi' on Metro line 'C'. For information on train services call: 24 22 42 00. (They also speak English and German). It is possible to buy special rail-cards that give reasonable reductions on the cost of rail travel. For example: Z Card: A yearly pass giving 20% reduction on Czech rail travel. The cost is 590 Kc.

The cost is 14,580 Kc (The holders of a Z card get a further 10% reduction and children under 15 get a 50% reduction. For one week this card costs 540 Kc. Prague's airport is about 10km away from the city centre. The cheapest way to get to the city centre is taking the bus and then connecting to the metro. Tickets are sold in the arrivals hall and will cost 12Kc. Either take Bus 119 to Dejvicka which is a terminus of Line A on the metro or Bus 100 to Zlicin which is a terminus of Line B. From there, take the metro to the city centre. A little more expensive is the Cedaz airport shuttle. 90Kc will get you from the the airport to Namesti Republicky which is on Line B. 480Kc will take 1-4 persons to any address in the city centre. Taxis are available but overcharging is common place. _________Getting There Edit This photo Getting there [Add Global transport mode] Easyjet Edit This Easyjet flies to Prague from London Gatwick, London Stansted, Bristol, East Midlands, Newcastle and Dortmund.

Get one from the kiosk at the airport before you go to the bus stop. type: By Air World66 rating: [rate it] ___________A perfect day Edit This Begin your tour at the Prague Castle once the home of Bohemian royalty which overlooks the city from the ancient quarter of Hradcany. It will take at least half the day to see the castle and its exhibits cathedrals the Loreta Convent the Gothic Vladislaus Hall and Zlata Ulicka (the Golden Lane a short street of charming little houses). While construction began in the 14th century St. Vitus’ Cathedral wasn’t finished until 1929. The cathedral has beautiful stained-glass windows and a southern gate with bucolic scenes of workmen at their craft. Behind the cathedral is the Basilica of St. George a well-preserved (and restored) Romanesque structure. Afterward make your way down to the Mala Strana (the Little Quarter) whose winding streets are the city’s best for strolling. Be sure to stop in the Church of St. Nicholas a baroque monument with a fantastic marble pulpit and beautiful statuary. Kampa a little island formed by the Vltava and a small stream has a chain of parks that offers a welcome rest to weary sight-seers. Cross the 14th-century Charles Bridge a footbridge alive with musicians street vendors artists and trinket sellers and lined with statues (don’t miss the base of the statue of St. John of Nepomuk—it shows him being tossed off the bridge into the water). Visit the span several times during your stay—its character changes throughout the day (best early in the morning and at night). The towers at either end of the bridge offer a great view of the hustle and bustle below. Continue on to Old Town Square our favorite part of the city. There you will find rows of well-preserved historic buildings large sidewalk cafes and churches (the spiky Tyn Church with the tomb of astronomer Tycho Brahe and the creamy baroque St. Nicolas). Also on the Old Town Square is the Kinsky Palace where Klement Gottwald proclaimed the beginning of the Communist state. You can’t miss the huge astronomical clock on the side of the town hall just before the main square. We try to time a visit there to coincide with the changing of an hour. As the minute hand on the giant clock passes 12 a short morality play is mechanically performed: Windows open to show a parade of Christ and the Disciples a skeleton rings a bell calling mortals to their death and the figures of three men on the edges of the clock shake their heads no—they’re not ready to die yet. The performance ends with a cock’s crow. In the middle of the square is a large monument to Jan Hus the martyred Protestant reformer. Another resident of the square was writer Franz Kafka who was born in the building on the corner of Maiselova and Kaprova. The building now has a small museum filled mostly with pictures depicting the artist’s life. (Kafka fans should also make the pilgrimage to his grave in the New Jewish Cemetery in the Zizkov district.) Continue beyond the Kafka Museum and you will run into the ancient Josefov (the Jewish ghetto). While most of it was torn down at the end of the 1800s some buildings do remain—be sure to see the old town hall (its clock runs counterclockwise and has Hebrew letters instead of numbers) as well as the haunting Jewish Cemetery: Because of a land shortage Jews were buried up to 12 deep per grave site so there are up to 12 grave markers jammed into an area where there would normally be one. The wall-to-wall tombstones coming up from the ground at every angle form a surreal picture. Another moving sight is the Ceremonial Hall which displays drawings made by children while they were in Nazi concentration camps. These simple drawings of everyday life in the camps are overpowering. Evocative too is the Pinkas Synagogue where all interior walls are completely covered with the names of many thousands of Czech Jews murdered in the camps. On a note of grim irony the artifacts on display in the State Jewish Museum were actually collected by Hitler for a museum devoted to an extinguished race. ___________Museums Edit This There are many museums to visit in Prague. To see all of them would take several days. [Add Museum] The Jewish Museum Edit This Jachymova 3, Praha 1. Phone: +42 (0)02 24810099. Open: Mon.-Sat.: 9.00-16.30 The Old New Synagogue, which bears the dubious distinction of having been chosen by Hitler to be a 'museum to an extinct race' is actually separate from the Jewish Museum itself. It is also one of the oldest in Europe, dating from the 12th century. There are actually six sites of the Jewish Museum proper which mean a bit of walking between places.. The tiny Old Jewish Cemetery has over 12000 graves dating back to the 15th century and is part of the museum, as is one of the most moving more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] url: www.jewishmuseum.cz The Museum of Military Resistance Edit This Hradcanske namesti 2, Praha 1.

A comprehensive cross section of works loaned by the Mucha Foundation including lithographs, paintings, drawings, pastels, statues, photographs and personal memorabilia provides you with a unique view into the universe of the artist who is famous for the posters he created for Sarah Bernhardt, the theatrical legend of fin-de-siencle Paris. The museum is housed in the 18th century Kaunitz Palace in the very heart of Prague. type: Museums World66 rating: [rate it] email: info@mucha.cz address: Panská 7, 110 00 Prague tel: +420 221 451 333, fax: +420 221 451 414 url: www.mucha.cz openingHours: daily 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Guided tours upon a request. Museum shop offering an exclusive selection of gifts with Alphonse Mucha motifs. The Wax Museum Edit This 28. rijna, Mustek, Praha 1. Open daily 10.00-20.00. Here it costs 99 Kc for adults and 49 Kc for children. I say 'Museums' because there are actually two of them within walking distance of each other. Like all Wax Museums, the collections in both are mixtures of very passable copies of famous figures (with an obvious lean to those of this part of the world) and embarrassingly awful ones that you have no hope of recognising. type: Museums World66 rating: [rate it] Franz Kafka Museum Edit This i photo by: Brigata The exhibition "The City of K. Franz Kafka and Prague", on view in the unique space of Hergetova cihelna on Malá Strana (Lesser Town) bank of the river Vltava, has toured the world successfully. It originated in 1999 in Barcelona - a city favourable to art, in which the sternness of the grey Romanesque churches of the early Middle Ages complements the manifold colours of Joan Miró's statues.

Unfortunately, for reasons best known to themselves, there is only a little on show.

StoriaCattedrale di San Vito Fondata alla fine del IX secolo, Praga divenne ben presto la sede dei Re di Boemia, alcuni dei quali piů tardi regnarono anche come imperatori del Sacro Romano Impero. La cittŕ fiorě durante il XIV secolo sotto il regno di Carlo IV, che ordinň la costruzione della Cittŕ Nuova, del Ponte Carlo (Karlův most), della Cattedrale di San Vito, la piů vecchia cattedrale gotica dell'Europa centrale, attualmente all'interno delle mura del Castello, della piů vecchia sinagoga d'Europa (la Sinagoga Maisel), e dell'Universitŕ di Praga, la piů vecchia universitŕ dell'Europa centrale a nord delle Alpi. A quel tempo Praga era la terza piů grande cittŕ d'Europa. Le quattro cittŕ indipendenti che precedentemente formavano Praga, vennero proclamate come unica cittŕ nel 1784. Queste quattro cittŕ erano Hradčany (il Castello, a ovest della Moldava), Malá Strana (il quartiere inferiore a sud del Castello), Staré Město (la Cittŕ Vecchia, sulla riva orientale opposta al Castello) e Nové Město (la Cittŕ Nuova, a sud-est). Centro di Praga La cittŕ subě un'ulteriore espansione con l'annessione di Josefov (il quartiere ebraico) nel 1850 e Vyšehrad nel 1883, agli inizi del 1922, altre 37 municipalitŕ vennero incorporate, portando la popolazione a 676.000 unitŕ. La maggior parte dei 50.000 ebrei di Praga morirono a causa del genocidio Nazista durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Praga ha sofferto una grossa inondazione nell'estate del 2002, durante la quale parti della cittŕ sono state evacuate. L'inondazione ha causato molti danni, ma fortunatamente senza distruggere nessuna delle bellezze principali.
