Good tips! The hotel was just perfect! Nigel
Very nice Prague page. Your hotel looks like a bargain. I am hoping to return and see more of the city later this year.
Very nice pages about the capital of my country!!!Greetings from Czech Republic.
I disagree about that clock being a must-see. It may be free but it's a silly waste of time to stand there in a crowd looking at a clock that you can hardly make out from a distance. But that hotel certainly sounds good.
good tips, you were lucky, the astronomical clock was packed this time for restauration but lucky we happened to see it on our previous trip. Good use of the 5 pic/tip feature!
