PRAGUE is a beautiful city, it's that simple. Cobblestone roads, ancient architecture, pubs beside pubs beside pubs and more meat than a T-Rex can handle. The Czech people like their meat: Sausage, Goulash, Duck, Ham, Chicken, Ribs and a surprising favorite... Pork Knee. Yeah that's right, Pork Knee.We spent five full days in Prague visiting majestic sites like Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock, the Castle, the Powder Tower, the Jewish Quarter, Squares, Plazas and ofcourse Pubs. Beer is ridiculously cheap in Prague, a glass costing you about a buck canadian, a pint about a buck and a half. Food and accommodation are also reasonable but shopping is where things get pricey but really who goes to Prague for the shopping, it's all about the city itself.
The people are friendly, always smiling and very helpful especially if you make an attempt to speak Czech which always gets a laugh. They are very happy to show their city off to tourists and I'm glad they are, there's so much to see but the further out from the city center you go, the less touristy and more old world Czech it gets. There are still some old Communist ghosts lurking about throughout the city and there are still alot of Russian paraphernalia about (including the pilot cap I picked up) but with each passing year Prague gets a little more "modern", hopefully never too modern.
PRAGUE, brilliant history, brilliant city.
