PRAGUE

Did you know?

Think all those Bohemian crystals in the numerous shops of the Old Town have something special about them? It's not just the pretty carvings of colourful details; if you find some vintage crystals, you might be getting an unexpected ingredient - uranium! At the turn of the 19th century, a German chemist named Martin Klaproth discovered uranium in a silver mine in Bohemia, and added it to glass to make it more colourful. Soon, Bohemian crystal-makers started adding the radioactive ingredient to their wares. Luckily, the crystal you'll find in shops won't mutate your genes - but it sure does look pretty! Be sure to give the glass wonders a browse while in Prague, as Bohemian crystal is one of the commodities the Czech Republic is best known for worldwide.

City Of A Hundred Spires

It seems like most Central European cities attractions lie squarely with their Old Town, but in this, as in many things, Prague is an exception to the rule. Though the Old Town does hold a historic square and several interesting museums and cathedrals, as well as its ancient Jewish Quarter, a proper visit to Prague requires some wandering outside of its cobblestoned old centre and into its many central neighborhoods. With its own Castle district, a New Town brimming with excitement, and the unfortunately named Lesser Town - where lesser is greater Prague s sights and sounds will occupy the weekenders as well as the permanent ex-pat. Since 1992, the entire Old Town has found itself in an exclusive club the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites the anthropological equivalent of being on the guest list of Studio 54. Prague therefore is quite proud of their centre, and most houses have been renovated and the streets swept clean of their communist past. The best place to start to explore the Old Town is the main square, which holds the Astronomical Clock and Old Town Hall Tower, as well as many historic churches and old houses. Just north of the Old Town is Jozefov, the historic Jewish quarter of Prague, where several surviving synagogues still stand and hold services. From Jozefov, one can take the Manesuv Bridge over the Vltava River and enter the Castle District, or Hradcany. At this point all you need to do is look and go up! While the climb up the castle s steps might be strenuous and a bit dangerous in the winter thanks to the thick layer of ice and snow covering them the view from the top is well worth the struggle, and it ll help you burn off those extra pilsner pounds. Exploring the Prague Castle itself could be an all-day event, so we recommend getting there early, as in the summer the tourists begin lining up even before opening time. Once you ve given the Prague Castle a proper storming, head downhill (ahh, relief!) and south to the Lesser Town. Though not as historically mature as the Old Town, the Lesser Town features several interesting sights and museums, as well as a multitude of churches and concert halls that fill the atmosphere with classical music every summer. The Lesser Town also hosts some of the cutest and coziest cafes and restaurants, which are usually not as crowded with tourists as in the Old Town. Once you ve done a fair share of exploring the Lesser Town, be sure to cross the famous Charles Bridge back to the Old Town, and head south down the Vaclavske Avenue, past Wenceslas on his horse and the National Museum, to the New Town, where you ll find parks galore (and the Prague Botanical Gardens). We recommend the park

behind the Prague Central Station, where you can sit on a hill, watch people playing with their dogs, and take a breather above Prague Want to explore further? The Prague Life team has written more detailed guides to each district of Prague (Old Town, Jewish Quarter, New Town, Hradcany, Lesser Town), as well as plenty of information about sights in our culture directory, so get out there and explore!

Prague Travel Tips

Here are a few things to bear in mind during your stay in Prague. First off, as in any modern European city, keep your wits about you and try to avoid looking too much like a tourist if at all possible. Central Prague is as safe - if not safer than most large Western cities, but it always pays to be vigilant. Check with the tourist office before going for a midnight wander anywhere outside the centre. Smoking is most definitely permitted in public spaces (except for public transport) and you should expect funny looks and withering put-downs if you ask someone to extinguish their cigarette outside a designated non-smoking area (such as those found in 99% of restaurants). Service charges are rare in restaurants and cafes but check the bill just in case. Tipping is expected instead and 10% is considered to be the respectable amount. The weather in summer is generally sunny and hot, with temperatures hovering around the high 20's C. Winter is very cold however, so if you're planning a romantic snowbound trip then don't forget to pack a hat, gloves, and some thermal underwear! If you have a laptop then a cheaper alternative to using internet cafes is to log in to one of the many public wireless networks that exist in the city centre. At last count there are over 100 such hotspots so you should never be stuck without internet access. Most cafes advertise their free WiFi at the door. Whilst businesses love the increased trade provided by large groups of tourists - stag, hen, football/rugby tours etc. - previous bad experiences have made the locals twitchy when confronted with large groups of (usually British) people hellbent on drunken oblivion. If you're coming as part of such a group then please remember that you're a guest in their city and that you should treat it, and them, with respect. If you don't then you'll soon find that local police won't be afraid to do the same to you.

Travelling to Prague
By air As an incredibly popular travel destination, Prague is very well connected by all the major, as well as budget airlines. Flights to Prague are best booked well in advance, especially during the high season, when certain flights, particularly at weekends, can get quite expensive if booked at the last minute. Ruzyne is the International Airport for Prague and is situated about 20km north from the city. The journey between the two should take roughly 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the mode of transport you've chosen. City and transport maps are available at the airport's Tourist Information Centre. The quickest way of making the journey is by taxi, but be warned: Prague's taxis have a justified reputation for being downright dodgy in their business practices when dealing with foreigners. They will never miss an opportunity to fleece an unsuspecting tourist, but if you follow the golden rules - avoid taxis without illuminated signs, agree a price before starting your journey, and ensure the meter is switched on - you will be fine. A taxi ride from the airport to the city centre should cost about 700Kc. A slower but cheaper option is to catch one of the "Cedaz" buses that leave about every half an hour between 5:30 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. They go to Namesti Republiky and a ticket costs about 90Kc. The cheapest option of all is to catch the 119 bus from the airport terminal to Dejvicka subway station, from where you can speed into the city centre (using line A), happy in the knowledge that to do so cost a mere 75Kc. By train If you are on an inter-rail trip, or just prefer the romance of rail, then you will be pleased to know that Prague is extremely well served by international railway networks. There are 2 main railway stations: Hlavni Nadrazi (Prague central station) and Praha Holesovice (Holesovice station). The busiest trains seem to come from Berlin (5.5 hours away) Vienna (4.5 hours) and Budapest (6.5 hours). You can pretty much go by train to anywhere in Europe from Prague; its central location making it the perfect launching pad for trips to Krakow, Warsaw, or Sofia - to name but a few. As with any large station in any European city, keep your wits about you and be aware of your surroundings, as pick-pockets and petty thieves occasionally target tourists here. By bus Again, Prague's central location means that there is no shortage of bus services to the city from all over Europe. The

main bus station is called Florenc and is on subway lines B and C. If you are on a tight budget then we'd recommend the bus as the views are spectacular whichever direction you approach the city (and country) from. Only if journey time is of no importance though, as a journey from London (for example) takes 23 hours! By car You must be brave to even be considering this! The roads are fairly ropey in the Czech Republic (though improving greatly all the time), but on the bright side there's hardly ever traffic jams on the motorways. The same can't be said for traffic in Prague itself however, as it is pretty much stand-still from Monday to Friday, and you can increase that to include the weekends during peak visiting season. Our advice? Don't drive in Prague unless you can't really avoid it, but consider it a great way to see attractions outside the city on your own terms.

Getting around Prague

By Public Transport Getting around Prague is easy and inexpensive. Public transport coverage is extensive throughout the city and is divided into three main modes of getting around: buses, trams, and the subway (tube for you Brits). Single tickets cost 20CZK and are valid for 75 minutes, on all transport types, from the moment you "validate" it; i.e. stick it in the on-board ticket machine. We know what you're thinking now: that if you don't need to validate the ticket to travel then why bother? Well the answer lies in the form of the many undercover ticket inspectors travelling round the city on the lookout for fare evaders. They are extremely zealous not to mention utterly unsympathetic towards tourists confused by the system - and we have never seen anyone successfully plead their way out of a fine. One word of warning: if you do get stopped then ask to see the inspector's ID card - conmen do occasionally try to pass themselves off as ticket inspectors. Genuine inspectors are legally obliged to show you their ID, which should have their photo and the words "dopravni podnik" on there somewhere. By Taxi Taxis can be a bit of a lottery. They've got a bad reputation for ripping off tourists, but the government are gradually getting to grips with the problem. Avoid picking up taxis from drivers who approach you on the street: if you must catch a taxi when out and about then only pick one with a roof light, ask how much the journey will be before getting in, and ask for a receipt afterwards. It is always best to ask your hotel/hostel to recommend a taxi company - otherwise check our service

U Jednoho Pokoje
Utterly unique You haven't have been anywhere like this before: the address and contact details (save for email) are not available anywhere - you must book by email at least 24 hours in advance, giving your name, your mobile number, the evening you would like to reserve, the number of people visiting plus any meal and wine preferences. If this seems like a hassle, trust us: it's worth it. The (French) owner does everything himself, the food is incredible and you dine amongst art exhibitions that change every month or so. It's pricier than most - average 250CZK - but if you've got the cash, and you leave Prague without coming here, then you should take a long hard look at yourself! near Pavlova Square tel: +42 (221) 714 444 www.http://www.ujednohopokoje. cz

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is our favourite place for a curry in Prague. It's a bit further out but worth the journey because the food is home-cooked, the menu range good (don't like curry? Have a pizza here instead!), and the service friendly - for Prague. It's not the most swanky of places, but what does that matter when the food is of such high quality?

Arriba! Time was that it was damn near impossible to find decent Mexican food anywhere East of the Atlantic Ocean, but that's all changed these days as places like Banditos pop up in every city all over Europe. We're not complaining we love Mexican food and that which is served at Banditos is very good indeed just don't expect anything other than your standard fodder. Don't expect a smile from your waiter/waitress either, as from our experience it's not going to happen this lifetime! U Melounova 2 tel: +420 224941096 www.http://www.banditosrestaura nt.cz

Svata Klara
A deep experience This gem of a restaurant has been around since 1679 and its gimmick is that the whole thing is set underground in a natural cave. Not that it needs a gimmick though, as the food is good enough for it to operate without one: the menu is very large and varied, with a particularly broad range of game dishes. All the splendour is reflected in the prices however, making this a destination that may not be in the budget of most visitors.

Albio
Sick of meat? Labelling Albio as simply "vegetarian" doesn't do it justice. They've gone the whole hog (but not a real one, don't panic!): everything is organic (including the wine), and they have their own organic vegetable store on the premises. The food isn't the only thing that's friendly - the staff are too - and indeed the whole place has a chilled out, informal feel to it that makes it ideal for families, even those with very young children as there is a playpen in the middle of the place. No screaming kids when we went, which is why, even as seasoned meat freaks, we love Albio! U Truhlarska 18-20 tel: +42 (222) 325 414 www.http://www.prague-life.com

Kure v Hodinkach
Hearty yet cool Step inside Kure v hodinkach (The Chicken in the Watch) and you'll find yourself in perhaps the ultimate manifestation of modern Prague: very cool and friendly, but a sense of history retained with more than a nod to tradition. The food is hearty fare and mostly of the traditional grill variety, so expect lots of meat, particularly pork, but made with a modern twist. The clincher in our opinion is the fact that you can get no less than six domestic beers on tap: a rarity in this brewery monopolised city.

Klasterni pivovar Strahov

Fantastic monastic Located just over the road from the Strahov Monastery, this large and popular pub/restaurant has its own brewery that has been going strong since the 17th century, producing St. Norbert beer. There is also a restaurant on the premises, which by all accounts is pretty good, but we've never got further than the drinking area to be honest! The beer is pretty expensive but the unique location, surroundings (a complete renovation was performed recently), and possibility of monk-spotting make the prices much more tolerable. Strahovske Nadvori 301 tel: +42 (233) 353 155 www.http://www.klasterni-pivovar .cz

Every single town and city in the world contains at least one Irish pub, and there's usually little to distinguish them from each other. Not this place though, it's a safe bet that this is the only Cuban/Irish pub anywhere in the world. It's a great mix: genuine Irish hospitality (and Guinness!) with Cuban flair and warmth, and that's partly why expats moving to Prague tend to make this their local. The three TVs and huge screen show all the sports that matter and there's even a succesful darts league hosted here (the standard of which is intimidatingly high). Highly recommended.

Wild and wicked Mick Jagger celebrated his 60th birthday here, but you don't have to be a wrinkly millionaire lothario to have a great time in this vast club. Quite the opposite in fact; this is unmistakably a place for beautiful young people who come to check each other out whilst throwing shapes to house and techno. The roof terrace affords fantastic views of the city, upon which you can enjoy a coffee or bite to eat during the day before the ultra-glamorous set descend at night!

Pivovarsky dum
Feeling adventurous? You should definitely pop in here if you like trying new things because they have more flavoured beers than you could ever imagine: we're talking coffee, champagne, cherry - and that's just the "c"'s! Everything is brewed on the premises, including normal beer if you're wary of the wacky ones. There's a good range of food available and we would definitely recommend the roast pork joint, but only if you're famished because it is a lot to take on at once!

Hipster central in Prague The first thing you might notice walking up to M1 is the sign outside which says "No Stag Parties." Ahh, sweet relief! Finally, a place one can lounge and chat with friends without the threat of a group of rowdy islanders drooling down your shirt. Though the drinks and the ambiance are a little more upscale than in more student-oriented bars, it's well worth it just for the knowledge that everyone around is as hip as you and the atmosphere remains civilized. Plus, for fans of great music, on Wednesdays there's an Indie/Britpop/etc. night, so this is probably the only place you'll get to sip martinis while listening to Blur and The Arctic Monkeys.

Bugsy's Bar
What's up doc? Bugsy's relies on their expert bartenders for success and that has certainly proved succesful, as it was recently voted in the world's top 20 bars by Newsweek. This is the kind of place where ordering a simple vodka & coke can take an age, depending on how flamboyant the bartender feels i.e. how many times he'll chuck the bottle in the air, perform a triple twist and catch the whole thing behind his back. It's certainly entertaining, as proven by the masses who flock here most nights, but check the price before you order your cocktail, lest you mistakenly order the world's most expensive cocktail: The Manhattan.

Bertramka Mozart Museum

The birthplace of Don Giovanni Mozart stayed here in the late 18th century and the beauty of the location inspired him to throw together the odd tune or two, including the famous Don Giovanni, which debuted in Prague in 1787. There is a permanent exhibition in the composer's honour, which occupies the (now refurbished) rooms which he occupied whilst staying here. Numerous concerts are held at the museum, and it's a real highlight to see one in the wonderful gardens if you visit in summer. U Mozartova 169 tel: +42 (257) 317 465 www.http://www.bertramka.cz

should certainly appreciate it in the refined atmosphere and beautiful surroundings of the Prague State Opera, which is regarded by Czechs as something of a national monument. The likes of Verdi, Puccini, and Bizet feature regularly but don't expect to gain entrance in your shorts and t-shirt: formal dress is mandatory. Tickets are a bit on the steep side and you can purchase either at the building itself (which gives a good excuse to sample the interior one extra time) or online via their website.

The museum is all about life and work of Alfons Mucha, the famous Czech painter who was the defining artist of the art nouveau movement in France, and who spent his last years in Prague decorating various buildings and landmarks in his unique style. Open daily from 10am to 6pm, the museum holds over 100 exhibits which include everything from decorative panels to pages from his sketchbook. Panska 7 tel: +42 (221) 451 400 www.http://www.mucha.cz

Marionette Museum
Like a puppet on a string Puppets are very popular in Prague and indeed the city is the unofficial puppet capital of the world, due to the long tradition of puppetry here. It therefore stands to reason that the puppet museum here should be one of the best around and by all accounts it indeed is. We have to admit that this is the only place on the site we haven't actually been to: we're terrified of the wee buggers! If you don't share our irrational fear then there's plenty here to keep you entertained, not least actual puppet shows in the special theatre on the premises.

Prague Walks
Walk this way Like most central European cities, Prague favours the discoverer: that special kind of person who likes to poke their nose into the places other tourists simply miss. Regardless of whether you're part of the former or latter group, your stay in Prague will benefit from a trip with praguewalks.com. Their knowledge of the city is second to none and their are guides friendly and professional. The range of walks offered is excellent and range from Grand Walk De Lux to a spooky Ghost Tour; our personal favourite however is the Prague Venice walk (pictured above). All in all a great experience and highly recommended. U Jakubska 4 tel: +42 (222) 322 309 www.http://www.praguewalks.co m

Municipal House
Savage beasts apply here Opened in 1912, the Municipal House is very grand and very beautiful. The music tends to be classical fare and if you are lucky enough to be in town when a Smetana (another much-loved Czech composer) concert is scheduled here then you should regard it as a must-see - or rather a must-hear; particularly when you consider that the main hall is named after the great man himself. The interior is breathtakingly ornate and, best of all, tickets are cheap: to book, pop along to the ticket office anytime before the concert is advertised as starting.

Sting
Congress Centre, 5 Kvetna 1640/65 Celebrated singer and songwriter Sting will be paying Prague a visit this February, for a performance at the Congress Centre. Before his solo career took off, Sting spent the late 70s and early 80s as the bassist and lead singer for British rock band The Police. These days Sting has focused on a lighter sound, mixing folk and classical music with his pop compositions.

One World Film Festival
