Prague Castle (Prazsky hrad)

Big day at the Castle


We started walking to the castle. We first went to a church looking for the tomb of King Wenceslas,do you remember the christmas song good king Wenceslas? The church is named St Vitus Cathedral. We also went to a palace were the two governors were thrown out the windows. We saw a room that people jousted in it …

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 …

Day 42 - Berlin to Prague
Caught the bus today from out the front of the hostel which made things
easy, we made our way to Prague. Not a lot to see along the way until
we entered the Chech Republic. A lot of old and worn down buildings
made us realise we were heading close to or in Eastern Europe. As we
entered the town we …

To further confirm that jet lag makes you stupid, Kip and I both woke up and looked at our ipad/ipod and thought it was 5:30 am.

So, another half of ambien and back to sleep until 9.

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 …

Aprovechamos para dormir un poco más porque se atrasó una hora el reloj, migración del horario de verano al de invierno, por lo que la diferencia horaria con Bs As era de 4 horas.


Luego de desayunar, bastante frugalmente, salimos a recorrer el resto de la ciudad. Había llovido la noche anterior y el día había amanecido fresco y …

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 …

Having served as the residence of rulers and archbishops for over a thousand years, Prague has been left with a unique gallery of historic buildings. Whether you take a guided walk through the Old Town or explore on your own, you will be duly rewarded.

The tour plan is to spend time at Prague Castle, the biggest in the Czech Republic, …
