Prague - Golden city at the Vltava

by HORSCHECK - last update: Feb 12, 2005

Old Town Hall Square (Staromestske namesti)

The Czech capital Prague was for 8 days my holiday base on my trip in September 2003. The golden city is located at the river Vltava and is divided into 10 districts. About 1,2 million people live in Prague.

The essential sights are the Charles Bridge, the Prague Castle, the Old Town Square and the Wenceslas Square. The city offers a great variety of cafes, bars and restaurants to enjoy local and international cuisine and to drink the famous Czech beer.

From Prague I took daytrips by train to Kutna Hora and Karlstejn with its famous castle. Another highlight of my trip was the visit of the sold out Sparta Stadium (Toyota Arena) for the European Championships Qualifyer match between the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.

 Hans and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Prague. It's such a wonderful city - so much to see and do. I don't think I've ever walked so much in one city. Informative page Holger.

 We visited Prague in 1980 - I imagine it's changed a lot since then though your tips & photos reminded me of several sights I remember, and others I'd forgotten ;)
