"Prague...Too Pretty To Be Real?" Prague by travelmad478

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.
