Prague Tourist Trap Tips by doug48 Top 5 Page for this destination

"free appetizers"

many of the restaurants in the tourist areas of prague try the appetizer trick on unsuspecting tourists. thanks to VT i was aware of this scam. a friend of mine and i visited a restaurant in the little quarter and there was a small bowl of peanuts on the table. when we sat down. my friend reached for a peanut, i told her that we would have to pay for them. i asked the waiter to remove them. he came back with two small plates of cheese and tomatoes which i waved away. i could tell he was annoyed with my refusal. i checked the menu and peanuts were 50 crowns and the cheese and tomatoes were 75 crowns. what a ripoff ! if you want free appetizers go to milan italy, bars there basically throw appetizers at you and don't charge you a penny !

the jewish quarter

the jewish quater is a must see site in prague but to tour the synagogues can be expensive. at pinkas synagogue you can purchase a ticket to the cemerery and a couple of synagogues but there is an additional charge to the old-new synagogue. pay the price to see the cemetery, it is one of the most interesting places in prague. also many christian churches in prague require an addmission fee.
