Foreword
Arrival & Transport
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!

VCLAV HAVEL AIRPORT PRAGUE

Pragues airport is 20 km from the city centre. A taxi to the
town centre now costs around 600 K even 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 rms). 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 90 K (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 o 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 Veleslavn metro station (Line A, green) in about
15 minutes. Bus N100 whisks you to Zlin (metro Line B,
yellow) from the airport in 18 minutes. You can download
maps of the public transport network from the transit
authority website (dpp.cz). There is an 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. First & last buses from
Holeovice 05:15 & 21:45, from the airport 04:40 & 21:10.
A 32 K transport ticket (plus a 10 K 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.
Pragues Terminal North 2 allows 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 ights 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 facilty at the airport which doesnt
close and costs 60 K per item per day.QK Letiti 6/1019,

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Pragues public transport system (Dopravn podnik) is
ecient, 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
purchased 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 32K transfer
ticket, which is valid for 90 minutes after validating .
The 24K non-transfer ticket is meant for tram rides
under 30 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 (110K)or a three-day pass (310K) .
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 800K if paid
on the spot or pay 1,000K later.
Trams trundle around town every few minutes; useful
lines are N22 and 23 which run from the centre up to
the rear entrance of the castle, saving you the uphill
walk. 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 trams N22 and 23 and in busy metro cars;
consider waiting for the next train if it looks squeezed.

website with English and German information on
routes and schedules, at www.dpp.cz, or call tel. 222

IMAGE BLACK THEATRE

Black theatre is dierent; the light is dierent and the dark
is dierent. The intense darkness of black theatre is full
of fantasy. Poetic pictures are approaching you from the
mysterious and almost indenite depth of a black cabinet.
You cannot see the actors, as they are invisible. Suddenly
you can see them rather well and almost dangerously
close. Dance will express the unspoken, disturb emotions
and overcome laws of physics.QE-1, Praha 1, Betlmsk

PRAGUE
The settlement of Prague and its surroundings was

continuous from the early Palaeolithic until the Latenian
period. With the arrival of the Celts, oppida began to
appear, which were centres of settlement, administration,
cults, manufacture, trade and also served as fortied
strongholds. In the second half of the sixth century the
rst Slavonic tribes arrived. In the ninth century the ruling
Pemyslid dynasty moved their family seat, thereby laying
the foundation stone to this place with the role of the seat
of the princely and later the Royal Czech lands. Prague is
an important urban monument reservation. The historic
core, 866 hectares in size, encompasses the unique city
ensemble of the Prague Castle and Hradany, Mal Strana
(Lesser Side) including Karlv most (Charles Bridge), Star
Msto (Old Town) with Josefov (the preserved section
of the former Jewish Town), Nov Msto (New Town),
Vyehrad and each of the monuments within these areas. It
was inscribed in the UNESCO List in 1992.
OSTRAVA

and dynamic city in the heart of Europe! You can feel the

SILVER TOWN KUTN HORA TREASURY FULL OF

EXPERIENCES JUST AN HOUR AWAY FROM PRAGUE.
Frantiek Renza
OLOMOUC
The Cathedral of St Barbara and the Jesuit College - GASK - nowadays the seat of the 2nd largest gallery in the Czech Rep. showcasing modern art.
Kutn Hora is inseparably connected with silver mining

and coin minting. Its cultural and historical importance was
recognised in 1995, when the historic town centre was
declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with
the Cathedral of St Barbara and the Cathedral of Our
Lady and St John the Baptist in Sedlec. Cathedrals, as
well as the Italian Court, the former royal mint, and the
renowned Ossuary (decorated almost entirely with human

bones) keep their gates open all year round. The Czech
Museum of Silver oers guided tours to the medieval
silver mine from April to November.
KROM
TEL
A TOWN OF CAPTIVATING BEAUTY
Tel is situated at the south-west tip of Moravia, half-way

between Prague and Vienna. Because the historical centre
of the city, surrounded by sh ponds and city gates, has
retained its unique shape over the centuries, in 1992 it
was inscribed in the UNESCO List, which brought with it
increased interest and a subsequent inux of tourists from
around the world.
Thanks to its history, unique

historic buildings and rich cultural
life, Krom is known as Hanakian
Athens. Since time immemorial,
the town has been associated
with rich history, tradition, the
fertile Hanakian landscape and
church power. It was the Olomouc
bishops who chose Krom as
their summer residence, building
here a spectacular palace, a unique
complex of gardens, majestic churches, a fabulous picture
gallery, their own mint and wine cellars and gave the
town its totally unique architectural, cultural and spiritual
character. The complex of the Archibishops Palace and
its unique Floral and Chateau
Gardens was listed as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site in 1998 and
is one of the most-visited sites in
the Czech Republic. Take a stroll
through Kroms picturesque
alleys, sit down in a romantic
arcade and discover the unique
and irreproducible atmosphere
of this town of captivating
beauty. Q www.kromeriz.eu

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 sixth largest city in the Czech Republic with
a population of about 100,000. It is home to the countrys
second oldest university (after Charles University in 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 your day on the main square, Horn
nmst. There you will nd the UNESCO listed Holy Trinity
Column. It is the largest collection 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 nally at the top,
the Holy Trinity. Also on Horn nmst is an Astronomical
Clock we told you a visit would be like Prague! The clock
dates back to the end of the 15th century, however the
form it takes here is much dierent than what the original
planners had designed. During World War II, the clock was
so damaged in the ghting that City Hall decided not to
reconstruct it, but instead design something modern. What
youll see now is a 1950s work depicting Communist era

ESK KRUMLOV
LITOMYL
LIBEREC
Come and visit Liberec, the city which buzzes even out
of season!
In the southernmost part of the Czech Republic there is a

region which is an ideal place to experience some highly
interesting adventures. Its centre is the town of esk
Krumlov which, although not large in size, is all the more
attractive due to its bewitching atmosphere that harks back
to ancient times. Thanks to its unique medieval buildings
it has been rightly protected by UNESCO since 1992. As
a natural centre it is vibrant not only with history, as over
time it has become a city of culture, art and remarkable
experiences, and oers up tidbits from its varied menu of
cultural events.
Litomyl was established

around the trade route
that connected Bohemia
and Moravia at the end of
the 10th and beginning
of the 11th centuries.
The dominant feature of
the city is the Italianate
Renaissance castle with its
more than eight thousand
examples of sgratto, which has been on the UNESCO
World Cultural and Heritage List since 1999. Litomyl is
the birthplace of the composer Bedich Smetana, whose
name is commemorated by an annual opera festival. On
the 500 metre long square can be found the Gothic town
hall and a number of Renaissance and Baroque houses. A
walk through the historical streets ending in the monastery
gardens is an unforgettable experience. Another interesting
sight is the Portmoneum museum with its murals by Josef
Vchal. Litomyl is not only historical, however, for there is
a number of modern buildings here and it is proud of the
moniker Europes Blooming City; it is becoming a city of
corporate tourism.

Holaovice is an exceptionally well-preserved example of
a traditional Central European village. A number of highquality village buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries in
a style known as South Bohemian Folk Baroque have been
preserved on a ground plan that dates from the middle ages.
The village was rst mentioned in the mid-13th century
during the period of the colonising movements in the
South Bohemian border region. In 1998 the almost entirely
preserved medieval system of houses and grain stores was
inscribed in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

13th century the city has been protected by the pilberk
Castle, which over time became the seat of the Moravian
Margraves from the Luxembourg family and the Moravian

The essentials of Prague - if 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 wandering 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.
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.QE-3, Praha 1, MStaromstsk.
CHARLES BRIDGE (KARLV MOST)

Karlv most joins Star Msto
(Old Town) and the Mal Strana
(Little Quarter) and is one of the
worlds most beautiful bridges.
The bridge was built in 1357, but
the gures of saints were added
during the 17th century. They symbolise the condence of
the Catholic Austrians triumph over the Protestant Hussites.
The bridge is thronged all day with tourists, while at night
it oers wonderful views of the illuminated castle and
Old Town. Go at dawn to be alone and witness the saints
emerging from the mist.QC-3, Praha 1, MStaromstsk.
TOWN HALL & ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK

The 14th century Town Hall complex
features a tower with an astronomical
clock, added in the 15th century.
Every hour on the hour Jesus and his
disciples lead a pageant that includes
the allegorical gures 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.QE-3,
Praha 1, Staromstsk nm., MStaromstsk. Open
09:00 - 18:00, Mon 11:00 - 18:00. Admission 60/40K.
MUNICIPAL HOUSE (OBECN DM)

The magnicent Obecn Dm
building holds two restaurants,
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.QF-3, Praha 1, nm. Republiky 5, MNm.

VYEHRAD
NATIONAL THEATRE (NRODN DIVADLO)

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 re. It reopened
in 1883. See Events for the current programme.QC-4,
Nrodn 2, MNrodn tda, tel. (+420) 224 90 14 48.
OLD TOWN SQUARE (STAROMSTSK NMST)
The indisputable heart of Prague.
This vast open space is anked
by a pleasing blend of carefully
restored architectural styles: Gothic,
Renaissance, Baroque and neo-styles.
The square is notable for its constant
hum of activity, day and night, and
a long history as centre stage for so
many of the citys dening moments,
The rocky cli-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
apparently the spot where Princess
Libue stood and predicted the rise
of a great city. Literally 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 connes is the national
cemetery (Vyehradsk hbitov), which from the 1870s
became the nal resting place of many of the most famous
Czech writers and composers, including Jan Neruda,
Bedich Smetana and Antonn Dvok.QH-7, Praha 2,
Sobslavova 1, MVyehrad. Open 09:30 - 17:30.
WENCESLAS SQUARE (VCLAVSK NMST)
Vclavsk nmst is actually a
boulevard running down from
the National Museum and
the equestrian 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 ank 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 comeback.QF-4, Praha 1, Vclavsk nm., MMstek.

Prague Castle
Sightseeing
STERNBERG PALACE
Sharing an entrance with the Archbishops Palace is the
ternbersk palc from 1698. Its part of the National
Gallery and home to a collection of European art,
including Rubens and Rembrandt. In 1991 thieves stole
US$2.6 million worth of Picassos.QHradansk nm. 15.
www.hrad.cz/en.
The largest collection of wonders in the city, Prague castle

is an amalgamation of architecture from dierent 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
There are two information centres, one in the second
courtyard and one in the third. Here you can nd 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 o 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.QA-1, Praha 1, Hradany, tel. (+420) 224
37 24 23, www.hrad.cz. For more informations about
opening hours and admisssion pls check out this link
www.hrad.cz/en.
HRADANY
The area known as Hradany is actually all the buildings on
the top of the hill. The rst buildings date from around the
year 880, but the castles golden age came in the middle
of the 14th century when it was imperial residence to
Emperor Charles IV. He rebuilt the royal palace and had
all the fortications strengthened. More recently former
president Havel took a personal interest in restoration
work at the castle. He is also responsible for designing the
lighting, which makes the castle look so beautiful at night.
What else could you expect from a man of the theatre?
SCHWARZENBERG PALACE
The most distinctive and largest of the buildings on the
cobbled square sweeping into the castle is this palace
with decorated bricks - are they at? Built between 1545
-1563, the building has been home to the Museum of
Military History since 1945.QHradansk nm. 2, www.
ngprague.cz/en.
ST. VITUS CATHEDRAL

Moving into the third courtyard of the castle youll face one
of Europes great Gothic cathedrals. St. Vitus is 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 it wasnt 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.
Qwww.hrad.cz/en.
OLD ROYAL PALACE
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 banquets, 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.Qwww.
hrad.cz/en.
GOLDEN LANE (ZLAT ULIKA)
The phrase picturesque street might have been invented
to describe this tiny cobbled lane with its miniature
workers cottages. After a lengthy 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
Philosophers Stone to make gold from lead. Franz Kafka
spent evenings at his sisters house, N22.Qwww.hrad.
cz/en.
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 rst prisoner, Dalibor
of Kozojedy, whose story was told by Smetana in his 1868
opera Dalibor. The underground cell is truly terrifying.
Qwww.hrad.cz/en.
PALACE GARDENS
A large set of steeply terraced gardens leading up to the
castle. The steep climb up to the castle is rewarded by
tness, some beautiful landscaping and stunning views of
the city.QB-1, Valdtejnsk 12. www.hrad.cz/en.
CHURCHES
BETHLEHEM CHAPEL (BETLMSK KAPLE)
From 1402 to 1412, Jan Hus
preached at the Bethlehem
Chapel, hence its signicance
for non-Catholics, but in
1622, the Jesuits took control
of the chapel and Catholic
mass became the service of
the day. Then in 1786 it was
levelled, only to be rebuilt
(somewhat strangely) by
the communists, who had
preserved its architectural
plans in 1950. Apparently,
they were keen to exploit the chapels symbolism as an
historic emblem of Czech national pride.QD-3, Praha
1, Betlmsk nmst, MStaromstsk. Open 10:00 17:30. Closed Mon.
BEVNOV MONASTERY
(BENEDICTINE ARCHABBEY)
Established in 992-993
by the Bishop of Prague,
Vojtch, and the Bohemian
Prince, Boleslav II, Brevnov
Monastery is the oldest
Benedictine monastery in
the Czech Republic. The
former wooden monastery underwent Roman then
Gothic renovation and became an important religious,
cultural and economic institution for the Czech kingdom.
During the Hussite wars it was burned down, but 200 years
later, it was crafted into its present Baroque form. The large
monastery complex contains the Basilica of St. Markety,
the terrace garden, the Vojtka spring and St. Josephs
Chapel. Tram N8, 22 to Bevnovsk klter.QPraha 6,
Marktsk 1.
CHURCH OF OUR LADY VICTORIOUS
This house of worship was
built by German Lutherans
between 1611-1615. To the
right of the entrance is a
commemorative site to the
16th century Spanish nun, St.
Therese of Avila, who along
with friar John of the Cross,
reformed the Carmelite
order into what is known
as the Discalced Carmelites.
Further inside is the churchs claim to fame, a 45cm high
wax statuette of Jesus known as the Infant Jesus of Prague,
which is a pilgrimage site of sorts - for its historical and
religious importance, and a couple of unnamed miracles
that have been attached to it.QB-3, Praha 1, Karmelitsk
pragjesu.info. Open 08:30 - 19:00, Sun 08:30 - 20:00.
LORETA
One of the countrys
most famous places of
pilgrimage, this chapel
is just a quick walk from
the main entrance to
the castle. Built between
1626-1720, this Baroque
building contains, among
other icons and objects, a
painting of a bearded lady,
ornate friezes, bejewelled
icons and a high quota
of chubby-cheeked cherubs. The small museum also
houses a collection of diamond ostensories. Within the
main chapel there is the brickwork supposedly from
the original Loreto in Italy which was flown over from
Italy by some well-meaning angels. Blasphemers take
note - the split in the wall was supposedly caused by a
thunderbolt fired off at one of your kind.QA-1, Praha 1,
Lorentnsk nm. 7. Open 09:00 - 12:15, 13:00 - 16:30.
Admission 110/90K.
OUR LADY OF SNOW (U PANNY MARIE SNN)
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 magnificent
Renaissance altar. The peaceful adjacent monastery
gardens (Frantiknsk zahrada) are an excellent
place to soak up the sun.QE-4, Praha 1,

ST. IGNATIUS CHURCH (KOSTEL SV. IGNCE)

The construction of what was intended to be a basilica
began in 1665 on these very grounds. In 1671 the church
alongside Karlovo Square was nally 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.QH-5, Praha 2, Jen 2, MKarlovo

nearly another 80 years until the
Jesuits completed 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. Francis
Xavier. The ceiling fresco depicts the

STS. CYRIL AND METHODIUS CHURCH
This Orthodox church was
built in 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 Reichsprotektor 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 bulletscarred exterior wall holds a plaque in honour of their
bravery.

VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM MEMORIAL
Near the funicular railway station and opposite the jezd
tram stop, there is a controversial memorial to the victims
of communism. A group of statues by Olbram Zoubek
emerge into totality as they walk, or are at various stages
of destruction, depending how you look at it. Why are
they controversial? Other artists say they are kitschy, while
feminists are angry because all the gures are male and
they (quite rightly) claim women were persecuted under
the communists regime too. The memorial was damaged
by two bomb attacks in late 2003.QA-4, jezd tram
