VCLAV HAVEL AIRPORT PRAGUE

Pragues airport is 20 km from the city centre. A taxi to
the town centre now costs around 600 K even if you call
a company to pick you up or talk to one of the representatives from reputable AAA Radiotaxi or 1.1.1. Radiocab taxi . Dont pick one up from outside the terminal
(click here for taxi rms). Alternatively, use the EDAZ
minibus service (tel. 220 11 42 96, 05:30 - 21:30) that
runs every half hour between the airport and Nmst
Republiky (F-2). Tickets cost 90 K (including one piece
of baggage, children under 10 free) and can be bought
from the driver or from the booth in the arrival terminal.
For an extra fee, EDAZ can also pick you up or drop you
o at your hotel.
The cheapest way to get into town is on by bus: N119
(2-8 times per hour between 04:18 and 00:10 with at
least one wheelchair-friendly bus per hour) runs between the airport and the Dejvick metro station (Line
A, green) in about 20 minutes. From Dejvick it is just
five stops to Muzeum in the centre of town. Bus N100
whisks you to Zlin (metro Line B, yellow) from the airport in 13 minutes. You can download maps of the public transport network from the transit authority website
(dpp.cz). There is a new Airport Express (AE) bus from
Holeovice which runs every half an hour, whizzing you
across the city in half an hour, whether you are arriving
or departing. Special fares apply to this bus, tickets can
only be bought from the driver and do not allow any
transfers or other forms of transport. First & last buses
from Holeovice 05:15 & 21:45, from the airport 04:40
& 21:10.
Pragues Terminal North 2 allows for at least 4 million
more passengers a year to travel into Prague with the ability to continue expansion. New bars, restaurants, shops
and services ply their trade in this terminal which accommodates ights to and from Schengen countries (Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland,
Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Greece, Spain & Sweden).
There is a left luggage facilty at the airport which doesnt
close and costs 60 K per item per day.QK Letiti 6/1019,

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Pragues public transport system (Dopravn podnik) is
ecient, fast and reasonably clean. With three metro
lines, 26 tram routes and 9 night trams you wont need
the bus routes that avoid the centre. Keep in mind that
the centre of Prague is easily accessible on foot.
Tickets, valid for all means of transport, can be purchased from the numerous vending machines at all
metro stations, major tram stops and news stands. You
always need to validate your ticket yourself by stamping it in the machines at metro entrances and on trams.
The most common ticket is the 32K transfer ticket,
which is valid for 90 minutes after validating . The 24K
non-transfer ticket is meant for tram rides under 30
minutes with no changes, or in the metro for up to 5
stations (changes allowed) from the departure station
within 30 minutes. We suggest you save yourself time by
buying a handful of these on arrival. If youre planning to
stay a bit and explore, get the one-day pass (110K)or
a three-day pass (310K) . Children under 6 travel free;
and tickets are half price up to 15 years old. Large pieces
of luggage (including rucksacks) cost an extra 13K while
dogs ride the rails for 26K. Fines for no validated tickets
are 800K if paid on the spot or pay 1,000K later.
Trams trundle around town every few minutes; useful
lines are N22 and 23 which run from the centre up to
the rear entrance of the castle, saving you the uphill
walk. The metro connects the two main train stations
and Florenc bus station to the centre and runs up to
just after midnight, after which the night trams (the
warm mobile home to many a smelly tramp) take
over, zipping in all directions from the Lazarsk stop
(H-5) every half hour. Tram information is on the red
signs at each stop and is generally correct assuming of
course that some worn out koda hasnt died on the
tram lines.
Beware of Pragues ultra-professional pickpockets, especially on trams N22 and 23 and in busy metro cars;
consider waiting for the next train if it looks squeezed.
For more information visit Dopravn podniks excellent website with English and German information on
routes and schedules, at www.dpp.cz, or call tel. 222 62

IMAGE BLACK THEATRE

Black theatre is dierent; the light is dierent and the dark
is dierent. The intense darkness of black theatre is full of
fantasy. Poetic pictures are approaching you from the mysterious and almost indenite depth of a black cabinet. You
cannot see the actors, as they are invisible. Suddenly you
can see them rather well and almost dangerously close.
Dance will express the unspoken, disturb emotions and
overcome laws of physics.QE-1, Praha 1, Betlmsk 5,

Meet the Czech Beer

Legend in the Pilsner
Urquell Brewery
THE CITY OF PILSEN

WELCOMES YOU
OPEN YOUR OWN SMALL
PILSEN PARADISE!
The city of Pilsen, the West Bohemian metropolis, became
the European Capital of Culture of 2015. Among the
other so far selected cities Pilsen has probably the most
advantageous position because of its location in the western
part of the Czech Republic and therefore directly in the
middle of Europe. Since its foundation in the 13th century
the city represents cultural crossroad where artists from the
whole Europe meet. Also, Pilsen is famous for its hospitality
and it is no surprise that one of the most famous beers
originates here the real lager Pilsner Urquell. The city oers
picturesque historical city centre, the highest church tower
in the Czech Republic, historical underground and oldfashioned Brewery Museum. The Museum, together with the
Pilsner Urquell Brewery itself, is the right place where you can
taste the Pilsen beer directly from its source.
The festive opening of the European Capital of Culture
will be announced on January, 17th 2015 by means of
ve new bells ringing from the top of the tower of the
St. Bartholomews Cathedral. This sound will start the
programme full of interesting cultural events. In the winter
and spring part of the programme do not forget to visit the
Festival of Lights (February 20th - 21st) or the two exhibitions

Regions | Liberec
Far to the north, along the Polish border, lays the intriguing region of Liberec. Here youll find mountains and
cities; a curious mix of nature and culture. Discover the
area via a canoe on the Smd River; visit the wonderful Liberec Zoo or spend an afternoon at the Babylon
water park. Liberec offers a wealth of fun for the entire
family.
A mountainous area; the region is dened by the Luick
and Jizersk mountains to the north and the Krkonoe to
the northeast. In the midst, right outside the city of Liberec is the towering and rugged Jetd Mountain. This
symbol of the region oers magnicent views of the surrounding valley; and on a clear day you can see straight to
Poland. The unique tower perched on top was designed
in 1973 by architect Karel Hubek. Besides containing a
communications tower; theres also a restaurant and hotel there. The city of Liberec is a distinctive and modern
one. Architectural styles range from 18th century classic
style brick in the centre to well-preserved 19th century
industrial. The neoclassical town hall is quite interesting,
as is the villa quarter with stately homes from the turn
of the 20th century. One of the most interesting can be
found on Jabloneck street; the Lieberg Manor-House.
For a true ashback to the past stroll down Vtrn street
and admire the Waldstein houses. The oldest buildings
in town, they are the only remaining examples of the classical merchant houses that used to make up the downtown area.
Regions | Southern Bohemia

The dominant tower of the Church of St. Antonin the Great
on Sokolovsk nmst is another dening landmark of the
city; its altar pictures the patron saints of the Czech lands. The
original Liberec synagogue was a monumental homage to
Neo-Renaissance architecture. It was burned down by the
Nazis in 1938 and has since been built. This new incarnation
is in the shape of half of the Star of David, and its faade is
symbolically representative of the Wailing Wall. You can nd
this fascinating structure on Rumjancevova Street.
The region south of Prague is an outdoor lovers paradise.

Bikers and walkers ock to the area every weekend to
experience the fresh air and beautiful countryside. Picturesque towns and historical castles are available to discover,
whether you choose to explore the region by your own
power or not. We introduce you to four towns well-worth
your time.
ESK KRUMLOV
Now that youve explored the city; its time to visit some of its
sites. The Liberec Zoo is one of the best in the country, containing wooded areas and a stream running through. Here you can
see eagles, rhinoceros, penguins, giraes and many more.
JINDICHV HRADEC
Boasting the third largest castle in the Czech Republic,
Jindichv Hradec is a laidback, quiet place to experience.
The main square of Nmst Mru is a treasure trove of architectural styles while the nearby Vajgar Lake oers a cooling
landscape. Climb the tower of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary for a birds eye view of the surrounding countryside or stay low and experience the Gothic and
Renaissance wonders of the castle.
For more cultural pursuits, check out the Museum of

Northern Bohemia (its building is worth the entrance
fee alone) or the Regional Gallery, lled with European
and Czech art. But now lets get out of the city and explore
what other attractions the region has to oer. From ruined
castles to elegant homes; from rock towns to world class
zoos everyone will nd something to discover in and
around Liberec.

This jewel of Southern Bohemia is almost too picture perfect. A grandiose castle on a hill; a winding river twisting
and turning its way through the town; narrow streets huddled together the adjectives could go on and on. Unfortunately, all this cuteness brings a lot of tourists. One of the
most visited cities in the Czech Republic after Prague; youll
be sharing the tiny streets with many a camera-touting

Regions | Olomouc
For those looking to escape the crowds of Prague, Olomouc,

a roughly 3 hour train ride from the capital, should capture
your heart. The pretty university town is small enough to
be charming, yet interesting enough for at least a weekend.
Located in Moravia, theres a plethora of architecture and
history.
Olomouc is the sixth largest city in the Czech Republic with

a population of about 100,000. It is home to the countrys
second oldest university (after Charles University in
Prague) which means its culture scene is alive and theres
a variety of dining and entertainment options available.
To get a feel for the city, start you day on the main square,
Horn nmst. There you will nd the UNESCO listed Holy
Trinity Column. It is the largest collection of Baroque
statues within the framework of one sculpture group in
Central Europe. The lower part contains a chapel, which
can be visited by appointment only. The column is made
up of 18 statues, 12 torchbearers, 6 reliefs, a sculptural
group of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and nally
at the top, the Holy Trinity. Also on Horn nmst is an
Astronomical Clock we told you a visit would be like
Prague! This clock is quite dierent from the one that
draws massive crowds to Old Town Square. The clock
dates back to the end of the 15th century, however the
form it takes here is much dierent than what the original
planners had designed. During World War II, the clock was
so damaged in the ghting that City Hall decided not to
reconstruct it, but instead design something modern.
What youll see now is a 1950s work depicting Communist
era proletariat, like builders, agricultural workers and
other laborers. The clock performs once a day, at noon, for
about ve minutes.
There are a number of interesting museums in Olomouc
something for nearly everyone.

The essentials of Prague - if you see nothing else, do not miss

these sights. Obviously in this city that has been a destination for hundreds of years, there is much to see and do, and
one of the most enjoyable aspects is just wandering around.
Dont forget to look up as the gilded spires are rightfully what
Prague is renowned for. But keep an eye of the ground too dog owners are not renowned for their cleaning-up ability.
the execution of preacher J. elivsk in 1422, to the attacks

on Soviet tanks with Molotov cocktails in 1968. Towering
above the square, half-hidden behind a row of houses, is
the fairy-turreted Tn Church. The centrepiece of the square
is a memorial to Jan Hus. It was draped in swastikas by the
Nazis and in black cloth to mourn the passing of the Prague
Spring.QE-3, Praha 1, MStaromstsk.
CHARLES BRIDGE (KARLV MOST)

Karlv most joins Star Msto
(Old Town) and the Mal Strana
(Little Quarter) and is one of the
worlds most beautiful bridges.
The bridge was built in 1357, but
the gures of saints were added
during the 17th century. They symbolise the condence of
the Catholic Austrians triumph over the Protestant Hussites. The bridge is thronged all day with tourists, while at
night it oers wonderful views of the illuminated castle and
Old Town. Go at dawn to be alone and witness the saints
emerging from the mist.QC-3, Praha 1, MStaromstsk.
TOWN HALL & ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK

The 14th century Town Hall complex
features a tower with an astronomical clock, added in the 15th century.
Every hour on the hour Jesus and his
disciples lead a pageant that includes
the allegorical gures of Death, the
Turk, the Miser, the Fool and the
Rooster. It sounds more impressive
than it actually is, but its still worth a look. The climb or
lift up the tower is rewarded by the stunning views.QE3, Praha 1, Staromstsk nm., MStaromstsk. Open

building holds two restaurants,
a super caf, an American bar, a
gallery, shop and classical music
venue. Built between 1905 and
1910 in the architecturally stunning Art Nouveau style, the Municipal House has been
painstakingly restored to its former glory. It was here that
the Czechoslovakian state was signed into being on October
28, 1918. It was also here in 1989 that communist bureaucrats and revolution leaders of the Civic Forum discussed
the velvet transfer of power and the states transformation
to democracy.QF-3, Praha 1, nm. Republiky 5, MNm.

OLD TOWN SQUARE (STAROMSTSK NMST)
The indisputable heart of Prague.
This vast open space is anked by a
pleasing blend of carefully restored
architectural styles: Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and neo-styles. The
square is notable for its constant hum
of activity, day and night, and a long
history as centre stage for so many
of the citys dening moments, from
The rocky cli-top boasts Pragues

second castle. In the hearts and
minds of many Czechs, Vyehrad
symbolises the birth of the Czech
nation and is shrouded in legend
and myth. This is apparently the spot
where Princess Libue stood and predicted the rise of a great city. Literally
translated as high castle, it was probably founded in the
middle of the 10th century. In 972 Prince Boleslav II built
the royal mint here, and in 1085 Vratislav II selected it as
his residence. Over the following centuries successive kings
remodelled the palace and fortress, but moved their permanent home across the river. Within the fortress connes
is the national cemetery (Vyehradsk hbitov), which from
the 1870s became the nal resting place of many of the
most famous Czech writers and composers, including Jan
Neruda, Bedich Smetana and Antonn Dvok.QH-7, Praha 2, Sobslavova 1, MVyehrad. Open 09:30 - 17:30.
WENCESLAS SQUARE (VCLAVSK NMST)
Vclavsk nmst is actually a
boulevard running down from
the National Museum and the
equestrian statue of Saint Wenceslas to Mstek, formerly the site
of of a city gate and drawbridge.
This is where crowds traditionally come to demonstrate
against their incompetent rulers, and this was where, in 1989,
thousands gathered to shake their keys in celebration of the
death of the Communist Party. Rows of shops, hotels (note
the Art Nouveau glory of Hotel Europa) and nightclubs ank
the pavements, and by night it can get a bit sleasy. Thankfully,
there are plans to rid the square of cars, bury the highway in
front of the museum in a tunnel and have tram N11 make
a come-back.QF-4, Praha 1, Vclavsk nm., MMstek.

From the almost pastoral serenity of St. Georges Basilica, to
the awe-inspiring Gothic power of St. Vitus Cathedral, the
castle has attractions for all - history and architecture plus
marching soldiers and entertainment.
APPROACH & ENTRY
There are two information centres, one in the second
courtyard and one in the third. Here you can nd out what
time the changing of the guard takes place, buy tickets and
get audio guides.
There are four ways to approach the castle. By far the
best way is to take tram N22 to the Pohoelec stop, where
you start with breathtaking views of Prague from Strahov
Monastery; then walk down through beautiful Hradansk
district along Loretnsk towards the main castle entrance
on Hradansk nmst. You can skip the Hradansk walk
by getting o the tram earlier, at the Prask hrad stop, from
where you enter the second courtyard. Alternatively, walk
up Nerudova and the steep hill from Malostransk nmst.
The worst approach is up the Star zmeck schody steps
near Malostransk metro station; these are best kept for
the way down.QA-1, Praha 1, Hradany, tel. (+420)

SCHWARZENBERG PALACE
The most distinctive and largest of the buildings on the
cobbled square sweeping into the castle is this palace with
decorated bricks - are they at? Built between 1545 -1563,
the building has been home to the Museum of Military
History since 1945.QHradansk nm. 2. Open 10:00 18:00. Closed Mon.
ST. VITUS CATHEDRAL

Moving into the third courtyard of the castle youll face one
of Europes great Gothic cathedrals. St. Vitus is the spiritual
heart of the nation as the mausoleum of Bohemian kings
and the citys greatest landmark. Work on the present cathedral was started in 1344 but it wasnt consecrated until
1929. Check out Muchas stained glass window and the
door with seven locks leading to the crown jewels. Dont
miss the beautiful mosaic depicting the Last Judgment
of Christ on the exterior of the cathedral. The mosaic is 84
square metres and was created in 1371.QOpen 09:00 16:00.
OLD ROYAL PALACE (STAR KRLOVSK PALC)
One of the oldest and most impressive parts of the castle,
the Old Royal Palace dates from 1135 and was the seat of
Bohemian princes. From the 13th to the 16th century it was
the kings palace. The magnicent Vladislav Hall was used
for banquets, councils, coronations and even jousting. All
presidents have been sworn in here, and this building was
where the 1618 defenestration took place. The palace contains The Story of Prague Castle exhibition. Dont forget to
have a look at the Rampart Gardens below.QOpen 09:00
- 16:00. Admission 120/60K.
GOLDEN LANE (ZLAT ULIKA)
The phrase picturesque street might have been invented
to describe this tiny cobbled lane with its miniature workers cottages. After a lengthy reconstruction, the Lane
has reopened and now features displays on how past
residents of the street used to live. A few of the souvenir
shops do remain. It was on this street, or so legend has
it, that 16th-century alchemists laboured to discover the
Philosophers Stone to make gold from lead. Franz Kafka
spent evenings at his sisters house, N22.QOpen 09:00
- 16:00.
DALIBORKA TOWER
Built in 1496 and used as a prison till the end of 18th century, the tower stands on your left as you exit theGolden
Lane. It is so named for its rst prisoner, Dalibor of Kozojedy, whose story was told by Smetana in his 1868 opera
Dalibor. The underground cell is truly terrifying.QOpen
09:00 - 16:00.
PALACE GARDENS

castle. The steep climb up to the castle is rewarded by tness, some beautiful landscaping and stunning views of
the city.QB-1, Valdtejnsk 12. Open 10:00 - 18:00. Admission 80/40K, families 180K.
CHURCHES
BETHLEHEM CHAPEL (BETLMSK KAPLE)
From 1402 to 1412, Jan Hus
preached at the Bethlehem
Chapel, hence its signicance
for non-Catholics, but in
1622, the Jesuits took control
of the chapel and Catholic
mass became the service of
the day. Then in 1786 it was
levelled, only to be rebuilt
(somewhat strangely) by
the communists, who had
preserved its architectural
plans in 1950. Apparently,
they were keen to exploit the chapels symbolism as an
historic emblem of Czech national pride.QD-3, Praha
1, Betlmsk nmst, MStaromstsk. Open 10:00 17:30. Closed Mon.
BEVNOV MONASTERY
(BENEDICTINE ARCHABBEY)
Established in 992-993
by the Bishop of Prague,
Vojtch, and the Bohemian
Prince, Boleslav II, Brevnov
Monastery is the oldest
Benedictine monastery in
the Czech Republic. The
former wooden monastery underwent Roman then
Gothic renovation and became an important religious,
cultural and economic institution for the Czech kingdom.
During the Hussite wars it was burned down, but 200
years later, it was crafted into its present Baroque form.
The large monastery complex contains the Basilica of
St. Markety, the terrace garden, the Vojtka spring and
St. Josephs Chapel. Tram N8, 22 to Bevnovsk klter.
QPraha 6, Marktsk 1.
CHURCH OF OUR LADY VICTORIOUS
This house of worship was
built by German Lutherans
between 1611-1615. To the
right of the entrance is a
commemorative site to the
16th century Spanish nun, St.
Therese of Avila, who along
with friar John of the Cross,
reformed the Carmelite
order into what is known
as the Discalced Carmelites.
Further inside is the churchs claim to fame, a 45cm high
wax statuette of Jesus known as the Infant Jesus of Prague,
which is a pilgrimage site of sorts - for its historical and
religious importance, and a couple of unnamed miracles
that have been attached to it.QB-3, Praha 1, Karmelitsk

pragjesu.info. Open 08:30 - 19:00, Sun 08:30 - 20:00.
LORETA
One of the countrys
most famous places of
pilgrimage, this chapel
is just a quick walk from
the main entrance to
the castle. Built between
1626-1720, this Baroque
building contains, among
other icons and objects, a
painting of a bearded lady,
ornate friezes, bejewelled
icons and a high quota
of chubby-cheeked cherubs. The small museum also
houses a collection of diamond ostensories. Within the
main chapel there is the brickwork supposedly from
the original Loreto in Italy which was flown over from
Italy by some well-meaning angels. Blasphemers take
note - the split in the wall was supposedly caused by a
thunderbolt fired off at one of your kind.QA-1, Praha 1,
Lorentnsk nm. 7. Open 09:00 - 12:15, 13:00 - 16:30.
Admission 110/90K.
OUR LADY OF SNOW (U PANNY MARIE SNN)
The towering Gothic torso
hidden
near
Vclavsk
nmst was started o
in 1347 by Charles IV as a
Carmelite order monastery.
Construction was stopped by
the Hussites in 1419, and only
the 34m-high choir of the
planned 110m-long church was nished. The Franciscans
renovated the ruins of the church in 1604, adding the
magnicent Renaissance altar. The peaceful adjacent
monastery gardens (Frantiknsk zahrada) are an excellent
place to soak up the sun.QE-4, Praha 1, Jungmannovo

STS. CYRIL AND METHODIUS CHURCH
This Orthodox church was
built in honour of Sts. Cyril
and Methodius, the men
responsible for the Slavonic
alphabet. However, most
people know about this
church because of what
happened here at 04:10
on the morning of June 18,
1942 when the Nazis had
discovered that the seven Czech parachutists involved
in the assassination of Reichsprotektor Heydrich were
hiding in the crypt. The west side of Karlovo nmst
was cordoned off by 800 troops from the SS and the
Gestapo. Three of the soldiers died as the SS stormed
the church. The remaining four fought on. After
hours of shooting and a long stand-off which led
to the Germans deciding to literally flush them out,
they used their last bullets on each other. The bulletscarred exterior wall holds a plaque in honour of their
bravery.

As synagogues and prayer rooms began to be demolished

Thus, in 1906 Pragues Jewish Museum began with a
modest collection. Today, it is celebrating its centenary with
an exhibit here entitled Defying the Beast (until 1 Oct). The

CURIOSITIES
VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM MEMORIAL
Near the funicular railway station and opposite the jezd
tram stop, there is a controversial memorial to the victims
of communism. A group of statues by Olbram Zoubek
emerge into totality as they walk, or are at various stages
of destruction, depending how you look at it. Why are
they controversial? Other artists say they are kitschy, while
feminists are angry because all the gures are male and
they (quite rightly) claim women were persecuted under
the communists regime too. The memorial was damaged
by two bomb attacks in late 2003.QA-4, jezd tram stop.
VILLA MLLER
This icon of modern
architecture was designed
by Moravian-born Adolf Loos
for construction magnate
Frantiek Mller in 1930. The

and walnut, highly polished and cleanly designed.

EASTER IN PRAGUE
Easter isnt so much a Christian holiday here; as a
welcome to spring one. Easter Monday, 6 April, is a
public holiday. An excellent souvenir this time of year
would be some of the beautifully hand painted eggs
that can be found in shops throughout the city. An
interesting, and perhaps controversial older tradition is
that having to do with the pomlzka. These traditional
braided birch rods are used as whipping toys on Easter
Monday. Men and boys would traditionally walk
through town whipping women and girls who then
rewarded this behaviour with coloured eggs or other
small treat. Men usually want a shot. Its thought that
the whipping will ensure fertility, beauty and good
health in the coming year.
Some special Easter and springtime treats to watch out
for include lamb-shaped sponge cake, often covered in
chocolate; sweet buns; gingerbread cookies and jide
or Judas rolls, which are sweet rolls glazed with honey.
There are some other interesting spring traditions in the
Czech Republic. The night of April 30 - May 1 is the
evening of the witches. Its said evil spirits are extra active
this night so folks used to burn res around their villages
to keep away the wickedness. Recent custom has
people setting alight homemade witches in a symbolic
burning away of winter and welcome to spring.
