VT Tip of the day winner

GOLDEN LANE IN PRAGUE WAS TIP OF THE DAY: TIP OF THE DAY ON FACEBOOK 08-02-2012

PSV Eindhoven & football

My favorite football club is PSV Eindhoven. I have a season ticket since 1992. Last year, 2004-2005 they were fabulouse in Champions League. Ihope they will be even better in the future, which is very hard to release for a Dutch club, losing their best player to European top teams. Like we had in the past.

    Hey Twan!

    Just wanted to congratulate you on winning Tip of the Day! I really dug a bunch of your recent tips, but I felt your tip about the Golden Lane was particularly unique! I've wanted to go to Prague for awhile and I've NEVER heard of that place - which is odd, since I was an English major and took Existentialism (a major reason I want to go there is to see what influenced Kundera & Kafka, etc) and STILL didn't know about this spot! I loved your historical background into how the street got it's name, as well as the info of how the tenants evolved!

    In addition to being featured on our VT_TipoftheDay Profile page (http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/1596b1/), you’ll also be on our VT Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/VirtualTourist) and our VT Twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/VirtualTourist_), so feel free to link to them or retweet! And keep up the great tips!

    Congrats again!
    Blake
