"Prague...Too Pretty To Be Real?" Prague by travelmad478
Prague Travel Guide: 13,798 reviews and 22,774 photos
I first went to Prague in May 1994 and stopped briefly in the city again in February and December of 2001. Prague is a beautiful and accessible city with a miraculously restored town center, and architecture that is so picturesque you'll think you are in a theme park. It's a great place to wander around, and even though most of its streets are crammed with tourists, you can still find places that are off the beaten path and just as nice as the ones in the guide books.
My favorite sights in Prague are its Baroque structures, like the church here. This photo was taken from the top of the clock tower in the Old Town square. Definitely get up there (there's an elevator if you don't feel like hiking up all those steps) and have a look around this lovely city!
A nice website to look at some of Prague's sights and get basic info is www.prague.cz.

Thanks for scanning and sharing your 1994 photos. It’s interesting to see what Prague looked like just a few short years ago. I like your description of your “still authentically Communist” experience of buying a rail ticket in 1994 but then having a fun time interpreting on the train between the conductor and the other people in your compartment.
Visited Praha in Oct 2003 it is a very beautiful city with many things to see and do. Thanks for sharing your memories here on VT
Great page and fabulous pictures of Prague - a city I wish to see soon!!! Thanks for the tips!!!
Prague - the monuments - it's history - the bridge - the casle - a must to visit in Europe !!
I am going to Prague in May. Your pictures are beautiful. I will have to go to that clock tower and take some pictures like you did.
We visited Prague in 2000. Stunning city with woderful people. Made many friends in the process. Can recommend the Corinthia Towers Hotel (4*) Close to old town but not in coty centre. 8min by subway. Must try local drink Becherovka -
It is a great page of a great city !
Will be there tomorrow!!!
Heard so much about this place,must be really nice:-}
