The city of Prague is situated astride the River Vlatav. The Old Town square is surrounded with beautiful old Baroque and Gothic buildings.

This morning started very early in Paris. Our pickup time was 6:45am Paris time but our body clocks were still on Michigan time or 12:45am. Anyhow, we made it to the airport, had a little breakfast and then we waited and waited. Finally, about forty-five minutes late the incoming flight arrived, it had been delayed by snow in Prague, which was kind …

We absolutely fell in love with Prague! The city is exactly what we envision when we think of an old European city. There was a castle, wonderful architecture, many shops and vendors to visit, and the food was amazing! If we hadn't stopped here so early on, we may have chosen to stay another day. Interestingly enough, while we enjoyed Prague …

Praga este un oras de o frumusete nebanuita; un amfiteatru natural prin care curge raul Vltava. Situat in inima Europei, acest oras iti ofera un spectacol inedit prin combinarea mai multor stiluri arhitectonice, care creaza o unitate aproape perfecta. Istoria acestuia a fost scrisa atat prin foc si sabie, cat si prin condei, pensula, sevalet, topor …

We couldn't have started any better, our hotel upgrade bought smiles to our faces! Right in the centre of it all and an amazing hotel.
Prague is breathtaking, wonderful and beautiful. The Charles Bridge and the River is a time waster... I could stand and watch the world go by for hours.
To make the day more interesting I had a rather large …

It's my first time to visit the beautiful city of Prague. I travelled with my friends, Gina and our guide and interpreter Rax who used to stay in Prague for more than 5 years. We're lucky to have her as she speaks the language fluently and she knew the place very well so no need for a tour guide.

We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights at the …

Before we ventured to Prague we heading south, on to the region of Dresden, often dubbed 'Florence of the North' because of its beauty. This town completely rebuilt itself after being flattened in World War II. we saw Dresden’s signature buildings, like the Opera house, the domed Frauenkirche, the Royal Residence – once home to the …

After a very slow start lounging most of the morning away in a jet-lagged stupor, we decided to get off our duffs and check out some churches, Karlův Most or Charles Bridge, and the Mala Strana area of town. Before heading to Prague's most famous bridge, we made a quick stop at St. Nicholas Church on Staroměstská Náměst&# …

On Thursday night, our Business Information Technology teacher let me and a couple friends take our Friday morning midterm early so we could catch trains starting at 545am on Friday to Prague. We went from Riva to Lugano to Zurich to Munich and then had to take a 5 hour express-bus from Munich to Prague. We had a two hour layover in Munich before …

We made it to Prague around 9pm. Firstly, I have to tell everyone, the autobahn is quite fun. I highly suggest a fast sports car and a heavy foot. Melissa just mumbled in her post dance party state that we hit 200 km/h but we average about 160-170 km/h. That is pretty fast if you aren't up on your conversions. Secondly, add Prague to every one of …
