Originally I had planned to spend about 4 days here, but due to changes in my trip (like going to Salzburg and spending an extra day there), I really only had 2 days of sightseeing around this city (but stayed here 3 nights).

Prague was an interesting and enjoyable experience for me. I was a little nervous, not just because I did not know a word of the language, but because even with a little pocket book dictionary - I had no idea how to pronounce the words! But since I was mainly sticking to the tourist areas on my 2-day stay, the majority of people I met had some knowledge of English (thankfully! :) ).
Despite numerous warnings against pickpockets for tourists (something which my tour guides or the people at my hostel could not stress enough), I had no problems in Prague. I got the hang of using the metro fairly quickly, the currency was easy to use and I didn't get lost once!

Being in Prague was a good experience, I met a lot of nice people at my hostel, I had a couple of great tour guides, and I had two warm and sunny days in Prague, doing whatever I wanted at my own leisure.

What more could a girl ask for?

 It seems from your writings that you enjoyed Prague. For me, out of all the big cities we have visited, Prague was the best and we plan to return again. Martin
