Charles Bridge (Karluv Most) 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 …

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 …

For Easter weekend we had Friday and Monday off, so I used the four day weekend to go to Prag! I have a old friend, Dane, who is studying abroad there right now, so I went and stayed with him. Staying with someone who knows the city and it was free... Awesome!

Where to begin? Well I guess I will start from the beginning. I left Thursday …

After another fabulous breakfast (I'm trying to work my way through the large variety of cheeses) our first priority was to get train tickets to Passau, Germany, our next stop. Taking the tram was easy and we managed to get the tickets. It turns out that we didn't need to buy in advance, there is plenty of room on the trains, but this will save …

This place was so beautiful that it's tough to just start in one place. I think it best to back up a little on the trip. My intentions were to visit as many places that I could in a month. Being that I only had a little bit of time to cover so much ground in Prague the trip was nonstop sightseeing and picture taking.

Prague-
Marketa met us at the airport and took us for a evening tour of Prague Castle. There was a beautiful view of the town and not many people in the castle (unlike in the daytime!). It was amazing. The next day we went back to the castle and toured the buildings. Parts of them are from the 1300 - 1400 's and are really beautiful. We walked …

Luego de un muy ameno viaje, con un paisaje muy bonito también, llegamos a Praga a las 13.30hs. Lo bueno de poder compartir es que uno no se siente tan solo y le permite compartir anécdotas y experiencias.

En la frontera subió una persona de migraciones y selló mi pasaporte, en esa época se precisaba visado para entrar, además de validar …

The weekend after spring break, my friends and I had planned on going to Prague for the weekend with one of the student travel companies. Unfortunately, by the time we got around to booking it the company had cancelled the trip because there were not enough people. This really caused some problems because Garrett had already booked a flight to …

Took a British Airways flight to Prague - got there in 2 hours. I love how the flights here are so short!! Something Australians can never get used to. I had researched about taking public transport into the city and it was quite easy to do. Bus 119 from the terminal which takes you to Dejvická metro station and …
