    Getting TO/AROUND: Originally we planned on driving to Prague, but we could not find a rental company that would let us take a rental car to Prague. Plan B was to find a Bus Tour to Prague but there were no Tours available in our time frame. Plan C was to take a train to Prague which would take 12 hours and app. cost 260 Euros. So our dear friend Jen (Co-Air) suggested we fly. To our amazement we found SMART WINGS had a flight from Amsterdam to Prague for 268.70 Euros for the two of us and it was only a 1 hour & ten minute flight. "Book it Danno"

    Prague International Airport is located in the Ruzyne quarter, 20 km NW of the city centre.

    Transportation: CEDAZ AIRPORT

    Getting TO/AROUND: Ok, we got to Prague. Now, how do we get to our apartment???Again VT came to the rescue. I checked out transportation tips and came to the conclusion that CEDAZ AIRPORT was the way to go. After picking up our luggage, we headed for ground transportation and looked for the kiosk which read "TRANSPORT INFORMATION" ---"MINIBUS CEDAZ". A very friendly, helpful lady who spoke perfect English helped us. The Cedaz shuttle would not only take us to our apartment but we could also pre-arrange our pick-up back to the airport. So that is exactly what I did. For 480CZK ( good for up to 4 people going to the same address) and 400CZK (if you pre-arrange and pay for your return trip -- Total 880 CZK or $46.00 CDN or app. 30 Euros. I must say that we were VERY satisfied with this service as we were promptly picked up at 5:00a.m. the day of our departure. After all the stories I read about Prague Taxi drivers this was THE way to go.
    Travel time was 30 to 40 minutes to our apartment in Praha 2.

    Transportation: GETTING AROUND BY TRAM

    Getting TO/AROUND: Our preferred way of getting around Prague was by TRAM. It was a fun and economical way of travelling around the city. We bought a few strips of tickets that cost 12CZK each and each ticket was good for an hour of travel. You validate your ticket using the little machine located on the tram, when you first get on the tram and from that time you have an hour.
    Public transportation is well organized and extensive. We never waited more than 15 minutes for a tram to arrive. On the last day in Prague we still had some tickets left, so we just went on different trams until our hour was used up. Fun!!!
    I found out later that we could have had a 24 hour pass for 70 CZK or a three-day pass for 200 CZK.. Usually we walked to the Centrum, so we wouldn't miss anything and took the tram back to our apartment, which had a stop right in front.
    Tickets can be purchased at the metro stations, at newspaper and magazine stands, from vending machines and at other locations.

    Getting TO/AROUND: A pleasant and relaxing way to see Prague from a different perspective is on a VITAVA RIVER BOAT TOUR offered by many different Tour companies. Many include lunch and dinner cruises.

    "The River Vitava gives the city life both spiritually and practically. Since 920 a 'free highway on water', it is honoured and celebrated as 'the girdle of Prague, the beautiful'. Even today the view of the town from the deck of a boat has its magic." V. Dudak

    Getting TO/AROUND: A fun and innovative way to see Prague is with the tour company SIGHTSEEING TOURS IN OLD PRAGUE. The company uses Antique Cars to drive people around on a sightseeing tour. Hans and I saw quite a few real neat old cars, many convertibles, with folks enjoying a ride through town. We thought it was a great idea. One Antique Car was parked with a sign advertising:
    1 - 2 persons 950 CZK
    3 - 4 persons 1300 CZK
    If you add Prague Castle add 300 CZK
    The tour is about 40 minutes.

     Lori - you are featured member today - thanks for Prague, sounds very special to you.    		Yaqui Fri Jun 5, 2009 01:23 UTC
     THE STORCH HOUSE and the TANCICI DUM DANCING HOUSE looks marvelous. You've put together a wonderful page filled with lovely photos and tips. Thanks for sharing your tour!

     Excellent page on this wonderful city. Beautiful pictures of great architecture, of which I especially liked the Minute House. I agree that knedliczki are more like cooked bread than dumplings. Thanks for the warning about the boat trip.    		jumpingnorman Tue Apr 14, 2009 02:10 UTC
     Lori, enjoyed your Prague pages...but it did not stop raining because you touched the Nepomuk dog with your right hand (should use LEFT, hehehe)...love pic of you and Hansi by the bridge and him with the Menu sign -- great one!
