My trips to Prague Czech republic

Trip To Prague summer 2005

We have been in Prague this summer and we had luck for the weather. It was all week beautiful weather and we enjoy it! We arrive late in the night after 11pm and we apriciated that we ordered the airport pick.
It makes it much easier to get to the centre to our accommodation and cath a little bit from the night.

And we did just after checking in to the apartment (very nice accommodation in U Brany in Mala Strana under the Castle) we walk to U Maleho Glena Jazz bar and enjoyed till late in the night.
The other day we wake up lunch time and as part of my friends liked to visit the Castle area (Prazsky hrad, Hradcany) we went there. With hangover! Anyway the Prague Castle is beautiful and kind of magic but still very real! We also take walk to Petrin (hill just oposit the castle) it relaxing place full of trees, flowers and with view tower where is no lift and it is constructed like small Eifel tower in Prague. Next to view tower is maze and you can really get lost there.
I did not try but one of my Czech friend told me that whne he was little boy his father took him and his brother to the maze and the crycould not find the way out!
So, better to leave it.

There is if you like night walks one place to go. It is small tiny street behing the Castle called NOVY SVET (new world) and it is great and beautiful to go there during the day and many people do that of course as it belongs to the historical sights.

But to go there in the night specialy after the MIDNIGHT its something different.
You get everytime LOST!
It is funny because the whole area of the Hradcany (the back side of the Castle) is quitemall and the street NOVY SVET is really small! But you get lost! And you enjoying that ! You of course always find the way at the end. The street is almost unchanged since 17th century with small 1-2 floor houses, galleries with oil paitings, guest houses.
