We love spring! Theres a bounce in our step,
a smile on our face and dont even think about
asking us to do any work! We hope Prague will
do all of that for you and more! To help get you in
the proper mood, weve put together some great
events and festivals happening over the next few
months. Of course, our favourite tip is to have a
wander. Getting away from the tourist route of
clock-bridge-castle will do a lot to enhance your
time in the city.
Have a wonderful stay!

Arriving by Plane
Praha Ruzyn Airport tel. (+420) 220 11 33 14, fax
(+420) 235 35 09 22, www.prg.aero/en. Pragues airport is
20km from the city centre. A taxi to the town centre now costs
around 600Keven if you call a company to pick you up or talk
to one of the representatives from reputable AAA Radiotaxi
or 1.1.1. Radiocab taxi. Dont pick one up from outside the
terminal (click here for taxi firms). Alternatively, use the EDAZ
minibus service (tel. 220 11 42 96, 05:30 - 21:30) that runs
every half hour between the airport and Nmst Republiky (F-
2). Tickets cost 90K (including one piece of baggage, children
under 10 free) and can be bought from the driver or from the
booth in the arrival terminal. For an extra fee, EDAZ can also
pick you up or drop you off at your hotel.
The cheapest way to get into town is on by bus: N119 (2-8
times per hour between 04:18 and 00:10 with at least one
wheelchair-friendly bus per hour) runs between the airport
and the Dejvick metro station (Line A, green) in about 20
minutes. From Dejvick it is just five stops to Muzeum in the
centre of town. Bus N100 whisks you to Zlin (metro Line B,
yellow) from the airport in 13 minutes. There is a new Airport
Express (AE) bus from Holeovice which runs every half an
hour, whizzing you across the city in half an hour, whether you
are arriving or departing. Special fares apply to this bus,
tickets can only be bought from the driver and do not allow any
transfers or other forms of transport. Tickets are 45/25K,
dogs 25K and luggage is free. First & last buses from
Holeovice 05:15 & 21:45, from the airport 04:40 & 21:10.
A 26K transport ticket (plus a 18K one for big bags) will get
you all the way into town or to the airport on all public transport
except the Airport Express. Tickets can be bought at the friendly
transport information desk in both arrival halls (open 07:00 -
22:00) or from the coin-operated machine at the airport bus
stop, but not from the driver. You need to validate the ticket
(once for the whole trip) in the machines on board the bus.
Prague's new Terminal North 2 will allow for at least 4 million
more passengers a year to travel into Prague with the ability to
continue expansion. New bars, restaurants, shops and services
ply their trade in this terminal which accommodates flights to
and from Schengen countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Greece, Spain & Sweden).
There is a left luggage facility at the airport which doesn't
close and costs 60K per item per day.
Arriving by Train
Prague has two main railway stations. Praha Hlavn ndra
(main station, tel. 224 61 52 49) is architecturally fabulous (in
the Jugendstil tradition) although you wont know it until you exit
its underground nightmare. However a massive reconstruction
is now complete, and if youve been here before youll see the
obvious improvements. There is a tourist office (open 09:00 -
19:00. Sat, Sun 09:00 - 16:00) in the centre of the lower hall of
the two levels. For your best money exchange deal, use the ATM
on the far left of the lower hall. Train information can currently
be found in the lower left of the hall as well as to the left of the
middle passageway to the platforms. Left luggage (schova)
lockers are available. Getting to town involves one stop on the
metro to Muzeum or a dangerous walk up busy Wilsonova.
The second station, Praha Holeovice (tel. 224 61 58 65), is
used by trains on the main Berlin - Prague - Vienna/Bratislava
route. The small hall holds the ticket office (open 09:00 - 17:00,
closed Sat, Sun), left luggage lockers, an internet caf and
several exchange and accommodation offices (open 06:00 -
23:00). It is three stops on the metro to Muzeum.
There are two classes on international trains, and prices
vary according to length of journey and class; expect to pay
one third more for first class tickets.
Pragues public transport system (Dopravn podnik) is
efficient, fast and reasonably clean. With three metro
lines, 26 tram routes and 9 night trams you wont need
the bus routes that avoid the centre. Keep in mind that
the centre of Prague is easily accessible on foot.
Tickets, valid for all means of transport, can be pur-
chased from the numerous vending machines at all
metro stations, major tram stops and news stands.
You always need to validate your ticket yourself by
stamping it in the machines at metro entrances and on
trams. The most common ticket is the 26K transfer
ticket, which is valid for 75 minutes after validating (90
minutes between 22:00 and 05:00, on weekends and
public holidays). The 18K non-transfer ticket is meant
for tram rides under 20 minutes with no changes, or in
the metro for up to 5 stations (changes allowed) from
the departure station within 30 minutes. We suggest
you save yourself time by buying a handful of these on
arrival. If youre planning to stay a bit and explore, get the
one-day pass (100K), a three-day pass (330K) or a
five-day pass (500K). Children under 6 travel free; and
tickets are half price up to 15 years old. Large pieces of
luggage (including rucksacks) cost an extra 13K while
dogs ride the rails for 26K. Fines for no validated tickets
are 500K if paid on the spot or pay 1,000K later.
The funicular railway and night tram tickets are 26K.
Trams trundle around town
every few mi nutes; useful
l i nes are N22 whi ch runs
from the centre up to the rear
entrance of the castle, saving
you the uphill walk and N17
which runs along the river. The
metro connects the two main
train stations and Florenc bus
station to the centre and runs
up to just after midnight, after
which the night trams (the warm mobile home to many a
smelly tramp) take over, zipping in all directions from the
Lazarsk stop (H-5) every half hour. Tram information
is on the red signs at each stop and is generally correct
assuming of course that some worn out koda hasnt
died on the tram lines.
Beware of Pragues ultra-professional pickpockets,
especially on tram N22 and in busy metro cars; consider
waiting for the next train if it looks squeezed.

inspired by a short story of Isaac Asimov from 1941. Its
foundation is the question of what happens to the planet
and civilization when there is a solar eclipse and nightfall
comes. The main topics that exhibiting artists are preparing
include social crisis and uncertainty, loneliness, confusion
and isolation of a human being, growing tension between
nature and civilization, and the internal and external struggle
with onesel f and with society. The apocalypse theme is
currently very topical; we can perceive the intuitive leanings
to such thinking as a symptom of changes to the world and
the setting of collective thought. This concept of the exhibi-
tion interprets contemporary figurative painting based on
a socio-political context.

Pilsen
Thanks to its favourable location, Plze has flourished since
the Middle Ages. The town, founded in 1295 at a crossroads
of major trade routes from Bohemia to Western Europe,
was blessed with several advantages for that time a
huge central square with the monumental St. Bartholomew
Cathedral and the right to brew beer. Therefore, it is almost
a must for every tourist to visit the Pilsner Urquell brewery,
the tour of which takes about 1.5 hour.
The brewery tour includes unpasteurized beer tasting right
in the cellars. The Pilsner Urquell pale lager gave its name to
all bottom-fermented beers in the world (pils).
Visiting Plze, you will be surprised and enchanted by the
historic town core, Renaissance town hall, sumptuous burgher
houses or the third largest synagogue in the world. You can
even enjoy a walk in beautiful nature right in the city centre.
This is because the historic town is surrounded by a ring of
parks and gardens. You will be enticed to take a rest on a bench
under an arcade of roses or have a cup of coffee in one of the
many cosy cafs and pubs. And if it rains, you can visit Plzes
historical underground, a system of medieval underground
passageways. Plze also of fers an i nfi ni te number of
attractions for children, such as the Dinopark with seventy
life-size dinosaur models, the ZOO or Techmania Science
Centre, a unique interactive science museum. The West
Bohemian metropolis is not just about beer. On the contrary,
Plze boasts rich and high-quality cultural life, guaranteeing
that you wont be bored for a second. This is why Plze was
designated European Capital of Culture for 2015.
Accommodation
Pilsen now offers almost 3,000 beds in hotels of different
kind of quality for very good prices.

Liberec
Far to the north, along the Polish border, lays the intriguing
region of Liberec. Here youll find mountains and cities; a
curious mix of nature and culture. Discover the area via a
canoe on the Smd River; visit the wonderful Liberec Zoo
or spend an afternoon at the Babylon water park. Liberec
offers a wealth of fun for the entire family.
A mountainous area; the region is defined by the Luick
and Jizersk mountains to the north and the Krkonoe to
the northeast. In the midst, right outside the city of Liberec
is the towering and rugged Jetd Mountain. This symbol of
the region offers magnificent views of the surrounding valley;
and on a clear day you can see straight to Poland. The unique
tower perched on top was designed in 1973 by architect
Karel Hubek. Besides containing a communications tower;
theres also a restaurant and hotel there. The city of Liberec
is a distinctive and modern one. Architectural styles range
from 18th century classic style brick in the centre to well-
preserved 19th century industrial. The neoclassical town
hall is quite interesting, as is the villa quarter with stately
homes from the turn of the 20th century. One of the most
interesting can be found on Jabloneck street; the Lieberg
Manor-House. For a true flashback to the past stroll down
Vtrn street and admire the Waldstein houses. The oldest
buildings in town, they are the only remaining examples of
the classical merchant houses that used to make up the
downtown area.
The dominant tower of the Church of St. Antonin the Great
on Sokolovsk nmst is another defining landmark of the
city; its altar pictures the patron saints of the Czech lands.
The original Liberec synagogue was a monumental homage
to Neo-Renaissance architecture. It was burned down by the
Nazis in 1938 and has since been built. This new incarnation
is in the shape of half of the Star of David, and its faade is
symbolically representative of the Wailing Wall. You can find
this fascinating structure on Rumjancevova Street.
Now that youve explored the city; its time to visit some of
its sites. The Liberec Zoo is one of the best in the country,
containing wooded areas and a stream running through.
Here you can see eagles, rhinoceros, penguins, giraffes and
many more. The Liberec Zoo is also the only zoo in central
Europe that breeds white tigers. They are also known for
their breeding of rare and endangered species like Somali
donkeys and the macaque ibex.
In the style of an ancient spa, Babylon entertains modern
famili es of all ages. This aqua park not onl y of fers water
sli des, swimming pools, steam baths and a wil d ri ver
but al so some dri er acti vi ti es such as bowl i ng, l aser
shooting and a casino. Theres a hotel and restaurant
onsi te as well.
For more cultural pursuits, check out the Museum of Northern
Bohemia (its building is worth the entrance fee alone) or the
Regional Gallery, filled with European and Czech art. But now
lets get out of the city and explore what other attractions
the region has to offer.
There are three protected landscape areas in the region;
which means hikers and bikers will find plenty of nature
to explore. The area is crisscrossed by well-marked trails,
enabling you to plan and carry out an athletic excursion
all on your own. Water lovers should head towards Mcha
Lake or the region of Holansk for their network of artificial
lakes. Hikers must visit esk raj or Bohemian Paradise.
This geopark is home to a variety of interesting sites like the
Bozkov Caves and their underwater lake; giant potholes; a
petrified forest and lava streams. Towns in the area include
elezn Brod, Jilemnice and Turnov.
From ruined castles to elegant homes; from rock towns to
world class zoos everyone will find something to discover
in and around Liberec.

Olomouc
For those looking to escape the crowds of Prague, Olomouc,
a roughly 3 hour train ride from the capital, should capture
your heart. The pretty university town is small enough to be
charming, yet interesting enough for at least a weekend.
Located in Moravia, theres a plethora of architecture and
history.
Olomouc is the fi fth largest city in the Czech Republic with
a population of about 100,000. It is home to the countrys
second ol dest uni versi ty (after Charl es Uni versi ty i n
Prague) which means its culture scene is alive and theres
a variety of dining and entertainment options available. To
get a feel for the city, start you day on the main square,
Horn nmst. There you will find the UNESCO listed Holy
Tri ni ty Col umn. I t is the largest coll ecti on of Baroque
statues within the framework of one sculpture group in
Central Europe. The lower part contains a chapel, which
can be visited by appointment only. The column is made
up of 18 statues, 12 torchbearers, 6 reliefs, a sculptural
group of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and finally
at the top, the Holy Trinity. Also on Horn nmst is an
Astronomical Clock we told you a visi t would be like
Prague! This clock is qui te di fferent from the one that
draws massive crowds to Old Town Square. The clock
dates back to the end of the 15th century, however the
form it takes here is much di fferent than what the original
planners had designed. During World War II, the clock
was so damaged in the fighting that City Hall decided not
to reconstruct it, but instead design something modern.
What youll see now is a 1950s work depicting Communist
era prol etariat, like buil ders, agri cul tural workers and
other laborers. The clock performs once a day, at noon,
for about five minutes.
There are a number of interesting museums in Olomouc
something for nearly everyone. The beautiful Archdiocesan
Museum, located on Vclavsk nmst, is home to a
permanent exhibition of the Olomouc Archdiocese, a picture
gallery featuring paintings dating back to the 16th century,
and the Mozarteum, a great hall commemorating the famous
composers stay in Olomouc. The inside of the Museum of
Modern Art belies its Classist style exterior. The permanent
exhibition is one on arts and crafts form the turn of the
19th and 20th centuries and temporary displays cover a
range of mediums. The Natural Science Museum is housed
in a former convent. The permanent exhibition is one on
endangered plant species while two exhibition halls host
about 20 temporary displays each year. The Olomouc zoo
is located about 10 kilometres outside the city, in a lovely
forested and hilly area. Giraffes, gibbons, ibex, white storks
and a Sumatran tiger are only a few of the more than 300
species you can find there. The aquarium, wolf pavilion and
birds of prey aviary are especially recommended.
The city is rich in religious history. Besides the Archdiocesan
Museum and the Holy Trinity Column, visitors can also marvel
at St. Maurices Church, the biggest Gothic church in the
region, dating from the 15-16th centuries and the oldest
Moravian monastery, the Archbishops Palace located in
the Olomouc suburb of Hradisko. The most signi ficant
sacred building in Olomouc is the Bishops Cathedral of St.
Wenceslas, built in 1109.
If you have a couple extra days, explore the lovely Moravian
countryside outside of Olomouc. The city is a great place to
base yourself while discovering the beautiful towns and tasty
Moravian wine in the eastern part of the county. Litomyl
and Krom are two charming towns that will keep you
busy for an entire day.
Have you ever been to a place where the spirit of industrial
past creates an unforgettable atmosphere? Meet Ostrava,
an exciting city full of unique and still living industrial heritage.
The historic industrial complexes were or are being revitalized
and transformed into a new leisure, entertainment and
educational zone.
The Vitkovice Lower Area, ori gi nall y founded by the
Rotschilds, is today a compound offering guided tours of
the historic works and blast furnaces. Enjoy unique views
of Ostrava and its surroundings from the almost 70m high
top of the blast furnace! A former gas holder has turned
into a multi-purpose hall named GONG. What used to be an
energy distribution station, or U6, has now turned into the
Small World of Technology an interactive Jules Verne
science fiction-style museum for children and adults alike.
The museum where children as well as adults are not just
allowed but obliged to touch and try everything.
I f you prefer going down the pit, you can do this feeling
yourself as a real miner in the Landek Park! Or why not try
something of the rich culture of the proud miners profession
as drinking the Miners Flag symbolising their typical colours
or eating the miners snack? Dont forget to take a ride on
the mining train.
The most authentic former mine, where you can follow
exactly the same path as the miners did every day at work,
is the Michal Mine.
No surprise if you meet a shooting film crew when rambling
around the industrial parts of the city as the city is becoming
increasingly popular destination for making films, music
videos or trailers.
There is no other place where you can visit a castle, whose whole
structure sank 16 m into the ground because of coal mining. This
is the case of The Silesian Ostrava Castle, today reconstructed
and opened to public. Have a look at the green city from the
highest City Hall Viewing Tower in the Czech Republic.
I f you want to feel cosmopoli tan and be a part of an
international environment, visit Ostrava during some of the
big events like the music festival Colours of Ostrava or the
Golden Spike, Usain Bolts favourite athletic event. You
can also participate in some of the international meetings.
Do not miss out on Ostravas culture represented by first-class
performances in theatres, concert halls, music clubs or
museums and galleries. Have a coffee in the caf dating back
to the happy times of the First Republic and get inspired by the
famous actors or writers who used to sit in the same place you
are now. Stodoln Street with over sixty bars, restaurants, pubs
and clubs is the perfect place to finish your day.

spa town in western Bohe-

experiments carried out
together with an English

recipe that contains a spe-

herbs and spices had been
inherited through gene-
rations in Bechers family.
Nowadays the secret for-

people in the company.
Becherovka is the most
frequently enjoyed as an
aperitif or digestive and it
should be served cold within
the range of -4C (25F) to

Becherovka, tonic, ice and
lemon, originally from 1967

impresses with its refresh-

the landmark Imperial has reopened with the Art Nouveau
tiles and wood carvings still in situ within the high ceiling-ed
rooms. The stale donuts have sadly not reappeared but the
beautiful and historic space is well worth visiting for break-
fast, a sandwich or meal (chef Zdenk Pohlreich hails from

been hit and miss. A decent cocktail list will keep you here

MMstek, tel. (+420) 224 94 91 33, info@coffeeand-
cigars.cz, www.coffeeandcigars.cz. Orange theme, white
leather, Oko on TVs, cinematic images of the eponymous
objects (and others beginning with a C) line this ubercool caf
near Cinema Svtozor. The expanse of glass leads to perfect
people watching, but the media types inside dont want to
do the watching. Breakfast, cakes, baguettes, salads, pasta
and even steaks are small and tasty but slightly overpriced
(100 - 240K). But if you want cool, youve got to be wiling
to pay for it. QOpen 08:00 - 24:00, Sun 10:00 - 24:00. W

cafe.cz. Befitting the newly renovated city palace on the corner of
Vclavsk nmst and Jindrisk, the latest outlet of this chain
caf inside it is the most grand; two floors of sleek designer chairs,
slowly revolving metal strip lamps and a whole wall imaginatively
decorated with, yes, broken egg shells. The menu sports everything
from salads to full meals. Service is still somewhat lacking so make
sure you sit well within view of the waiter. DJs spin at weekends.

so nice and welcoming, you may find yourself stopping by for a
cappuccino, staying on a bit for a BLT baguette, and then look

roaster (named Matylda) so you know your cup of joe will be
as fresh as can be; plus a calendar of cultural events. QOpen

tel. (+420) 224 93 42 03, [email protected],
www.globebookstore.cz. The Globe provides a sophisti-
cated atmosphere to meet other enlightened souls. Darker
walls indicate an edgier characterisation to this bastion of
expat life which had become a tad stuffy in its middle age.

caf remain but now we also have Gambrinus on tap as well
as live music and events spicing things up. QOpen 09.30 -
00.00, Thu, Fri, Sat 09.30 - 01.00. (40 - 120K). AUE

MNmst Republiky, tel. (+420) 224 22 42 40, cafeori-
[email protected], www.grandcafeorient.cz. The first floor of
the Cubist House of the Black Madonna is home to a truly
unique Cubist-style caf that was reconstructed from photo-
graphs to match the one that was here from 1911 until the
1920s. Even caf-capital Vienna doesnt have one of these.
The simple menu lists pancakes, sandwiches and some good
coffee. Try to get a seat on the balcony overlooking Celetn
street. QOpen 09:00 - 22:00, Sat, Sun 10:00 - 22:00. PA

ground floor of Obecn Dm is one of the most elegant in town.

the cake cart around. A breakfast menu, plus sandwiches and

day. QOpen 7:30 - 23:00. 90-470K. JAEB

PRAGUE CASTLE
The largest collection of wonders in the city, Prague castle
is an amalgamation of architecture from different periods.
From the almost pastoral serenity of St. Georges Basilica,
to the awe-inspiring Gothic power of St. Vitus Cathedral, the
castle has attractions for all - history and architecture plus
marching soldiers and entertainment.
Approach & Entry A-1, Praha 1, Hradany, tel. (+420)
224 37 24 23, www.hrad.cz. There are two information
centres, one in the second courtyard and one in the third.
Here you can find out what time the changing of the guard
takes place, buy tickets and get audio guides.
There are four ways to approach the castle. By far the
best way is to take tram N22 to the Pohoelec stop, where
you start with breathtaking views of Prague from Strahov
Monastery; then walk down through beautiful Hradansk
district along Loretnsk towards the main castle entrance
on Hradansk nmst. You can skip the Hradansk walk
by getting off the tram earlier, at the Prask hrad stop, from
where you enter the second courtyard. Alternatively, walk
up Nerudova and the steep hill from Malostransk nmst.
The worst approach is up the Star zmeck schody steps
near Malostransk metro station; these are best kept for the
way down. Q Buildings & Info: From 1 November - 31 March:
open 09:00 - 16:00. Courtyards (admission free) open 06:00
- 23:00. Castle gardens and Jelen pkop are closed. From 1
April - 31 October: open 09:00 - 18:00. Courtyards (admission
free) open 05:00 - 24:00. Castles gardens and Jeleni prikop
10:00 - 18:00. Note: Golden Lane will be closed for renova-
tions beginning May 1, 2010. Repairs are expected to take one
year. Admission to the Old Royal Palace, St. Georges Basilica,
Powder Tower, Picture Gallery and Golden Lane: 350K (long
tour.) Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, St. Georges Basilica and
Golden Lane: 250K (short tour.) Reductions for families.
Sternberg Palace (ternbersk palc) Hradansk
nm. 15. Sharing an entrance with the Archbishops Palace is
the ternbersk palc from 1698. Its part of the National Gal-
lery and home to a collection of European art, including Rubens
and Rembrandt. In 1991 thieves stole US$2.6 million worth of
Picassos. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00. Closed Mon.
First courtyard Pause at the castle gates to admire the
soldiers uniforms (designed by the wardrobe designer of
the film Amadeus), and hopefully see the changing of the
guard. Then move into the courtyard flanking the presidential
rooms, which are not open to the public. These are numerous
and include the Spanish Hall, once the venue for meetings
of the Czechoslovak Communist Party. As you walk through
the archway, the steps on your right are where many of the
official greetings are made to visiting heads of state.
Second courtyard Reconstructed by Empress Maria
Theresa, this courtyard acts as an intersection point for
two of the entrances into the castle. You can exit under the
archway to reach the Stag Moat, Royal Gardens and trams
N22 and 23.
St. Vitus Cathedral (Kat-
edrla svatho Vta)
Moving into the third court-
yard of the castle youll face
one of Europes great Gothic
cathedral s. St. Vi tus i s the
spiritual heart of the nation as
the mausoleum of Bohemian
kings and the citys greatest
landmark. Work on the present
cathedral was started in 1344
but i t wasn t consecrated
until 1929. Check out Muchas
stained glass window and the
door with seven locks leading to the crown jewels. Dont miss
the beautiful mosaic depicting the Last Judgment of Christ
on the exterior of the cathedral. The mosaic is 84 square
metres and was created in 1371. QOpen 09:00 - 16:00.
Old Royal Palace (Star krlovsk palc) One of
the oldest and most impressive parts of the castle, the Old
Royal Palace dates from 1135 and was the seat of Bohemian
princes. From the 13th to the 16th century it was the kings
palace. The magnificent Vladislav Hall was used for ban-
quets, councils, coronations and even jousting. All presidents
have been sworn in here, and this building was where the
1618 defenestration took place. The palace contains The
Story of Prague Castle exhibition. Dont forget to have a
look at the Rampart Gardens below. QOpen 09:00 - 16:00.
Admission 120/60K.
Gol den Lane (Zl at
ulika) The phrase pictur-
esque street might have been
invented to describe this tiny
cobbled lane with its miniature
workers cottages. After a
l engthy reconstruction, the
Lane has reopened and now
features displays on how past
residents of the street used to live. A few of the souvenir
shops do remain. It was on this street, or so legend has it,
that 16th-century alchemists laboured to discover the Phi-
losophers Stone to make gold from lead. Franz Kafka spent
evenings at his sisters house, N22. QOpen 09:00 - 16:00.
Daliborka Tower Built in 1496 and used as a prison till the
end of 18th century, the tower stands on your left as you exit the
Golden Lane. It is so named for its first prisoner, Dalibor of Kozo-
jedy, whose story was told by Smetana in his 1868 opera Dalibor.
The underground cell is truly terrifying. QOpen 09:00 - 16:00.
Palace Gardens B-1, Valdtejnsk 12. A large set of
steeply terraced gardens leading up to the castle. The steep
climb up to the castle is rewarded by fitness, some beautiful
landscaping and stunning views of the city. QOpen 10:00 -
18:00. Admission 80/40K, families 180K.
St. Georges Basilica (Bazilika svatho Ji) The
basilica is the Romanesque church lurking behind a Baroque
facade in the courtyard behind St. Vitus. Now deconsecrated,
it serves as a concert hall. In the chapel on the right of the
presbytery is the tomb of St. Ludmila, the first Czech saint.
QOpen 09:00 - 16:00
The essentials of Prague - i f you see nothing else, do not
miss these sights. Obviously in this city that has been a
destination for hundreds of years, there is much to see and
do, and one of the most enjoyable aspects is just wander-
ing around. Dont forget to look up as the gilded spires are
rightfully what Prague is renowned for. But keep an eye of
the ground too - dog owners are not renowned for their
cleaning-up ability.
Charles Bridge (Karlv
most) C- 3, Pr aha 1,
MStaromstsk. Karl v
most joins Star Msto (Old
Town) and the Mal Strana
(Little Quarter) and is one of
the worl ds most beauti ful
bridges. The bridge was built
in 1357, but the figures of saints were added during the
17th century. They symbolise the confidence of the Catholic
Austrians triumph over the Protestant Hussites. The bridge is
thronged all day with tourists, while at night it offers wonder-
ful views of the illuminated castle and Old Town. Go at dawn
to be alone and witness the saints emerging from the mist.

n Dm) F-3, Praha 1, nm.
Republiky 5, MNm. Re-
publiky, tel. (+420) 222 00

cz. The magni ficent Obecn
Dm building holds two res-
taurants, a super caf, an
American bar, a gallery, shop
and classical music venue. Built between 1905 and 1910 in
the architecturally stunning Art Nouveau style, the Municipal
House has been painstakingly restored to its former glory.
It was here that the Czechoslovakian state was signed into
being on October 28, 1918. It was also here in 1989 that
communist bureaucrats and revolution leaders of the Civic
Forum discussed the velvet transfer of power and the states
transformation to democracy.

(Nrodn divadlo) C- 4,
Nrodn 2, MNrodn tda,
tel. (+420) 224 90 14 48.
This lavish neo-Renaissance
building on the bank of the
Vltava, with its golden crown
of chariot-driving women, is
Pragues National Theatre. The building was completed
in 1881 and was almost immediately destroyed by fire. It
reopened in 1883. See Events for the current programme.
Ol d To wn S q u a r e
( S t a r o m s t s k
nmst) E- 3, Praha 1,
MStaromstsk. The indis-
putable heart of Prague. This
vast open space is flanked by
a pleasing blend of carefully
restored architectural styles:
Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque
and neo-styles. The square
i s notabl e for i ts constant
hum of activity, day and night,
and a long history as centre
stage for so many of the
citys defining moments, from
the execution of preacher J.
elivsk in 1422, to the attacks on Soviet tanks with Molotov
cocktails in 1968. Towering above the square, half-hidden
behind a row of houses, is the fairy-turreted Tn Church. The
centrepiece of the square is a memorial to Jan Hus. It was
draped in swastikas by the Nazis and in black cloth to mourn
the passing of the Prague Spring.
Town Hall & Astronomi-
cal clock (Staromest-
sk radnice) E-3, Praha
1, Staromstsk nm.,
MStaromstsk. The 14th
century Town Hall compl ex
features a tower with an as-
tronomi cal cl ock, added i n
the 15th century. Every hour
on the hour Jesus and hi s
disciples lead a pageant that
includes the allegorical figures
of Death, the Turk, the Miser,
the Fool and the Rooster. It
sounds more impressive than
it actually is, but its still worth
a look. The climb or lift up the
tower is rewarded by the stunning views. QOpen 09:00 -
18:00, Mon 11:00 - 18:00. Admission 60/40K.
Vyehr ad H- 7, Pr aha
2 , S o b s l a v o v a 1 ,
MVyehrad. The rocky cliff-
top boasts Pragues second
castle. In the hearts and minds
of many Czechs, Vyehrad
symbolises the birth of the
Czech nation and is shrouded
in legend and myth. This is
apparentl y the spot where
Pri ncess Li bue stood and
predicted the rise of a great
ci ty. Li terall y translated as
high castle, it was probably founded in the middle of the
10th century. In 972 Prince Boleslav II built the royal mint here,
and in 1085 Vratislav II selected it as his residence. Over the
following centuries successive kings remodelled the palace
and fortress, but moved their permanent home across the
river. Within the fortress confines is the national cemetery
(Vyehradsk hbitov), which from the 1870s became the
final resting place of many of the most famous Czech writers
and composers, including Jan Neruda, Bedich Smetana and
Antonn Dvok. QOpen 09:30 - 17:30.
Wenceslas Square (V-
clavsk nmst ) F- 4,
Praha 1, Vclavsk nm.,
MMst ek. Vcl avsk
nmst is actually a bou-
l evard runni ng down from
the National Museum and
the equestri an statue of
Saint Wenceslas to Mstek,
formerly the site of of a city gate and drawbridge. This is
where crowds traditionally come to demonstrate against their
incompetent rulers, and this was where, in 1989, thousands
gathered to shake their keys in celebration of the death of
the Communist Party. Rows of shops, hotels (note the Art
Nouveau glory of Hotel Europa) and nightclubs flank the
pavements, and by night it can get a bit sleasy. Thankfully,
there are plans to rid the square of cars, bury the highway in
front of the museum in a tunnel and have tram N11 make
a come-back.

Our Lady of Snow (U
Panny Marie Snn)
E- 4, Praha 1, Jungman-
novo nm, MMstek. The
towering Gothic torso hidden
near Vclavsk nmst was
started off in 1347 by Charles
IV as a Carmelite order monastery. Construction was stopped
by the Hussites in 1419, and only the 34m-high choir of the
planned 110m-long church was finished. The Franciscans
renovated the ruins of the church in 1604, adding the mag-
nificent Renaissance altar. The peaceful adjacent monastery
gardens (Frantiknsk zahrada) are an excellent place to
soak up the sun.
St. Ignatius Church (Kostel Sv. Ignce) H-5,

basilica began in 1665 on these very grounds. In 1671 the
church alongside Karlovo Square was finally completed and
the large statue of Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit
order, was placed on top. The church is still active and run
by Jesuit monks.

Construction of this Baroque
pile began in 1673, but it would
be nearly another 80 years
until the Jesui ts compl eted
it. Peer closely at the copper
statue of St. Nicholas above
the gold coated altar; the two
statues below him are of St.
Ignatius Loyola and St. Fran-
cis Xavier. The ceiling fresco
depicts the apotheosis of St. Nicholas. Also of interest is the
organ, which has 2500 pipes and 44 registers, and it was
these very ivories that Mozart tinkled on his visit to Prague.

has stood on the approach to
the castle since 1140. Today,
this Romanesque monastery
houses various museums for
religious arts and is home to
the quite stunning central cha-
pel. The Museum of Czech
Literature (open 09:00 - 12:00; 13:00 - 17:00, admission
50K), is housed in the monastic libraries. The Theological
and Philosophical Halls are superb but can only be viewed
from the doorways. Items available for closer inspection are
manuscripts from the 14th century, a stuffed dodo, and a
large collection of crabs, fish, shells and insects. The Strahov
Gallery in the central courtyard (open 09:00 - 17:00, admis-

1, Resslova 9, MKarlo-

vosl avnaci rkev.cz. Thi s
Orthodox church was bui l t
i n honour of Sts. Cyril and
Methodius, the men responsible for the Slavonic alphabet.
However, most people know about this church because of
what happened here at 04:10 on the morning of June 18,
1942 when the Nazis had discovered that the seven Czech
parachutists involved in the assassination of Reichspro-
tektor Heydrich were hiding in the crypt. The west side of
Karlovo nmst was cordoned off by 800 troops from the
SS and the Gestapo. Three of the soldiers died as the SS
stormed the church. The remaining four fought on. After
hours of shooting and a long stand-off which led to the
Germans deciding to literally flush them out, they used their
last bullets on each other. The bullet-scarred exterior wall
holds a plaque in honour of their bravery.
A new permanent exhibition to the memory of those who
participated in the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in
1942 has here. The small, but very in depth display maps the
Czechoslovak resistance movement against the Nazis and
includes photographs and memorabilia from the time. There
are also films showing on TV screens and backgrounds into
the seven paratroopers who participated in the mission. Q

You wont bump into philosopher Emmanuel Kant here; he
believed that an esthetic object is only art if it has no use (hes

entitled Defying the Beast (until 1 Oct). The museum is closed

Prague is as famous for its sex clubs as it is for its beer. Stag
nights take advantage of the price and availability of both,
and on the whole these clubs are well organised and clean.
Safe sex is practiced, and bouncers and/or managers will
explain the rules and methods of each place on arrival. It is
cheaper to partake over here, but that does not mean you
wont pay for the privilege of watching a live sex or lesbian
show. Generally, youll have to pay an entrance fee (around
500K) to sit at the bar; this fee is waived if you are there to
pay for other services immediately. Many of the central clubs
pay men and women to entice you off the street and into their
nearby establishments, but if youre heading somewhere by
taxi, make sure youre taken to the one you want to go to
rather than the one the taxi driver gets commission from.
Check prices of services and drinks, and enjoy
