Whether you are visiting Prague for a short weekend
break or a few weeks of R&R there is lots to do and see so don't
expect to get board.
Everywhere you go in Prague there is something to see or do,the city
is full of surprises from the small alleyways and cobble streets to
the massive and awe inspiring castle there is a feast for the eyes
and soul at every turn.
Like with most big cities the problem is where to start, Prague is
such an old city and has been involved in or affected by so many of
the winds of change that have swept through and shaped modern Europe
over the past millennia. From Wenslav to the fall of the iron curtain,
as a center of European power during the middle ages to one of the
most visited cities on the planet today, surprisingly though the city
has remain largely intact and untouched by the various wars and actions
of the last century and as such there is much to enjoy.
Many of the treasures though remain hidden away, the multitude of
tour guides will show you the splendor's of the Castle and the Old
Town however there is much to see and do beyond these, and not much
effort required to find them . There are monasteries, castles, and
PUBS (OK so I finally got to the really interesting one) many of which
we hope to bring to you via these pages.
Unfortunately much of the well trodden sites have become
tourist traps, with exuberant prices that may seem cheep to Johnny
foreigner but in reality are much cheaper for the local inhabitants.
I know of one particular attraction that costs 9x more for a foreigner
than a local (more on that one later), OK so everyone has to make
a profit and yes I agree that us foreigners should pay slightly more,
how else are the locals suppose to raise the money to rebuild and
restore the architectural and historical treasures we (in the millions)
so happily trudge all over, so don't get annoyed just beware.
Enough of my preaching on with the show, choose a from the menu on
the left and enjoy (and if you don't, don't blame me). We will attempt
to maintain our own very dubious rating system for our personal satisfaction.
