Praha-prague

Prague is a city scenic, full of incredible views and maintaining a building that it moved out in time. We can also say that once the old city, tourism goes beyond the narrow and steep streets of Prague.

In our case we spent 2 days, but our tour had no purpose other than walking, walking and discovering the night in Prague. But if you want to go to all museums and sites of interest, may be better spent 1 day.

What to see in Prague?

In our experience the tourist area of ​​Prague did not seem very large. Is divided by the Vltava River and the main step (older and tourism) from one side to another of the river is the Charles Bridge. Throughout this area we always moved to foot.

Old Town Square:

It is the main square of the historic center from the Middle Ages. To get there: Metro: Staromestska line A

Astronomical Clock:

At each hour, the Astronomical Clock offers a unique “show” with the parade of the 12 apostles in the windows of the same, also accompanied by trumpets from the top, the skull rings the bell, and so on.

One of the typical visit in Prague, where hundreds of tourists eagerly awaiting the time change.

Charles Bridge:

It is the most important bridge linking both banks of the Vltava River. It is more than 500 meters long and about the same there are many statues, where people ask this kind of desires and things.

There are towers at each end, one of which occasionally appeared in costumes medieval men began to play the trumpet.

We also will cross over this bridge many painters and musicians, our criteria for excellent category! Here we stopped for a while to appreciate the Bridge Band, a jazz band that is truly spectacular!

Prague Castle:

As construction really draws attention, and really worth sitting in front of the castle to rest after climbing up there the steep streets of Prague.

Here lived the Bohemian kings and is now the office of President of Czech Republic (which became famous for stealing a pen in front of cameras during his visit to Chile! ).

Up here also usually play a band which also sounds as if they had put a CD.  Advice: buy a beer in subidita (one on the street), and the beer is cheaper than in bars, and sit on the ladder to look Prague from this height, as well as the castle and all this entertained by musicians of the place. 10 points!

We leave a videito we did enjoy this very thing we have:

Josefov (Jewish Quarter):

Here are the six Jewish synagogues and the Jewish Cemetery. Something that draws attention to the tourists is the arrangement of the headstones in this cemetery. Apparently for lack of space bodies were buried on top of each other then is a great heap of stones.

To enter the cemetery entrance is paid, but there is a small window on one side of the cemetery where you can see inside. Some consider it a must in our case we are left with the option window that was cheaper:).

Museum of Communism:

I really liked this ride a lot. Mainly because we were from Russia and was interesting to hear the history of communism, but told by the Czechs. In there you found Rebuilding of eg, a warehouse in the communist era. Reproduction of interrogations, forced labor suits, photos of rebels killed, anti-Soviet revolts videos, etc..

The entrance fee is 180 CZK for adults and 140 CZK for students (must present a student ID). Located on the street Na Prikope 10, between the metro stations Mustek and Nam Republiky, just above the McDonald’s … coincidence or irony?

St. Vitus Cathedral:

It is located within the grounds of Prague Castle is a spectacular Roman Catholic cathedral built in the Gothic style. Attract much attention too colorful vitro.

Admission is free until a certain point, beyond which they charge. In our case we did not think should pay, because with what we saw so much give us perfect free for very nice pictures inside this cathedral.
