Walk about

My advice on going to Prague is get a guide and do a walking tour. I learned so much more from our guide than I would have ever done on my own. They are not expensive to hire and will show you places you would have never found.

For instance, the TV mast (you can see in the top right hand side of the photo) wasn't used just for transmitting programs. During the days of the Eastern bloc it's main purpose was to block transmissions from the rest of the world from going into Prague. Times have changed.

The Black Theatre

The Black Theatre is so odd I find it very difficult to describe or explain, but I will do my best!

The production we saw was part dance, part mime, part comedy, part tragedy. It feels both ancient and modern at the same time - and has a mad inventor, a pigeon on a wire squirting water over the audience, and men in luminous bodysuits dancing. What more can you want?!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Great old buildings and lovely people. Cheap prices.
  • Cons:Stag parties from the UK love it
  • In a nutshell:A whole lot of city in a small package
