Here are some photos of Prague (from
April 2006) which were submitted by Adam. A big thanks to Adam for submitting
his Prague photos! - here is Adam's Prague review: I recently visited Prague over the Easter weekend. Although it was a short break, it was varied, as the first half was spent celebrating the forthcoming wedding of a friend (yes, it was a dreaded Brits abroad stag do!), while the second half was spent making up for lost time! For our first two nights, 19 of us stayed in apartments in Wenceslas Square. While the apartments were decent, and the area highly appropriate for a stag do, it wasn’t great. Wenceslas square is a real holiday goer area, especially suitable for those who like to go abroad and spend their time in UK and Irish style sports bars. The area is also famous for providing the seedy side to Prague – such as strip bars, and the occasional late night drug dealers and street-walkers. Again, this wasn’t too problematic for 20 plus Mackems on a stag do, but not my idea of a pleasant European break. |

However, for the second half of the trip, two friends and I moved 5 minutes up the road and stayed in a much nicer area – just on the outskirts of the Old Town. The Old Town is very nice, very much the Prague you might imagine – lots of very old, fascinating buildings, and a lot of history to see and learn about. The Charles Bridge may be a highlight; this runs across Vltava River, connecting the Old Town to an area called Mala Strana (where Prague Castle can be found). The river is a very nice place by night, with the castle and similarly impressive buildings lit up beautifully. Not too far from the Old Town is another very nice area – The Jewish Quarter (Josefov). This is where we spent most of our nights. Throughout Prague, there is a great selection of authentic Czech bars, which sell very nice local beers for under £1. For those willing to spend a little more, the Jewish Quarter has a great amount of fancy restaurants and cocktail bars – a little dearer (actually, quite a bit dearer!) but well worth forking out on. By day, the Jewish Quarter is also home to some very fancy (and expensive) designer clothes shops, and is well worth a walk around just to get a feel of how pleasant and welcoming this capital city can be. |
