Useful information about Prague, Czech Republic with my thoughts

Take the train to Prague (from Germany)
We took the train from Prague to Dresden, Germany, 2 hours, 25 Euro each - return tickets. Some of our friends bought a “Bayern Bohemia” ticket, (Bayern-Böhmen-Ticket), 32 euro, for a total of five personal to share, similar to the the weekend and state tickets, with departure from the Nuremberg spent More than five hours to arrive Prague. You can also take this ticket to KV spa town (KV German called Karlsbad), really good value then if you live in Bayern Franken.

Prague train station
There are two railway stations in Prague, Praha Holesovice and Praha hl.n, Praha hi.n is the central railway station. In fact there are only three subway stops(route c) away from each other.

Prague city transport tickets

# 25 minutes -18 KC, can only travel for up to 5 stops
# 75 minutes - 26 KC unlimited number of stops
# 100 KC-day pass

1 advice must vote buying, checked very frequently, no votes will be donated by the Czech people’s enthusiasm for 500 KC tickets
2 subway advice of the votes must fight in the subway entrance, the car did not fight for votes. Tram car on a no problem
3 advice when a vote not to vote immediately after the insertion removed, so the above date will not clear, we have a little neglect is investigated because the votes of people making things difficult, but although there is no trouble, but on the other side of us feel Not trust, I guess this may be a lot of people fare evasion tactics

Lodging
We live in the local Comfort Hotel far from the city centre, Prague Fortunately, the city traffic easily. Because it is Easter because of high prices, the 50 EU a night double room, breakfast is also general, the Czech Republic, it is difficult to drink coffee, Eccentric taste, come back and my German friends that they have consensus. Room conditions were good, clean comfortable and quiet.

Black light theatre
This is our Palace to eat-the largest harvest, because next door is a black light to see the opera theater, 480 KC, relatively speaking in Prague is very cheap, but the performance ended after the show to the audience the answer black light effects, and even invited Interested viewers try taking office, some very mean, it shows the actors themselves that they performed in Prague only after the group revealed answer, I do not know is not a bit wide and divisions of the mean.
But in any case, we must look at the black light theatre, the absolute value for money!

Price
The first impression is cheap (compared to Germany), but then the feeling is not as big a difference, but I found that some of the prices of daily consumer goods to your point of Germany, clothing also may sell things cheaper in Prague where I Not found, may also now not discount the season. Of course, there are many relatively inexpensive things, for example, cigarettes, the cheapest I have to buy a pack of 47 KC, supermarket prices of beverages is also available in Prague traffic Vote counting and trains and coaches are not over the German. The key is to see how you play or how to the consumer.

Prague Attractions recommendations

• Prague Castle and Charles Bridge together, should be regarded as the most Aspect Prague where, or the distance from the periphery to see is also quite shocked to see buying into six different spots, I feel very disappointed, because in addition to a Castle history exhibition can also see some things, the other is the rubbish stuff thorough.But almost everyone would like to get another look at are, therefore, I have to commend here the place is a ticket buying, we were ranked outside the team for a very long time, Lengde terrible, but later found that these six Attractions are called “Old Palace”, there can even buy tickets, but very few people simply do not have to queue up, then I feel this practical information should come back to say that

• PRAGUE, panoramic look at TV Tower is the best choice, with the mountains and the city’s tram transport tickets are common, so a day to buy votes, or votes are still effective time of the bold on it. Down from the tower from the opposite direction after Down the mountain, not how long you can to Castle

• Old Town Square night than during the day to be beautiful, is a bit difficult Pai Zhaopian

• Charles Bridge proposal early morning, daytime, evening and night have to look at, if there is interest in the physical and then

• Church of human bones
• From Prague to ride the train in Kutna Hora hl.n get off to buy votes than it did a cost-effective to buy two one-way, as if less than 120 KC, one-way is 90 KC. Railway station can get on the map, looking for good, because Along the way are markers, and take up to 15 minutes about the past, some friends on the Tour poor recommendations from the train station by car past, I do not think this necessary, but I also admire the courage of these friends, because the bus station on the timetable we A long time do not understand.
• Tickets for the people of the church 50 KC, can not take pictures, this is my impression, I encountered the first sale of tickets for the church. Church is a small poor.Then we went to Santa Barbara’s Cathedral, is on foot across the city, more than 20 minutes bar, the church is also worth a visit, but that is appearance, on a get discouraged, but also tickets, which is the second of the . Away from the church, taking the right steps on the soon to see a hotel, we resolved inside the lunch, I feel that this hotel is recommended should be, because the elegant dining environment, sitting on the table can be seen behind the church , But the price is cheaper than Prague.From Santa Barbara’s Cathedral from another station Kutna Hora Mesto to ride the train back to Kutna Hora hl.n, but attention is one hour departure, the fare is as if a person 6 KC

• Kutna Hora to this small town is a good place to walk, quite lovely

The impression of Prague
Before read too much positive, we really feel entirely different from:

• my friends in order to change some coins, all the shops in a street not even willing to give a shop-for -

• 50 KC buy a small circle of sweet bread, to the 200 KC only acknowledged receipt of the final 100

• shops selling tourist souvenirs, you buy and do not get to buy the share is poles apart from the face of

• LP in the supermarket I personally seize the stolen things a young girl, when we brought her to steal the purses and cosmetics saleswoman to time, I clearly feel that around all the calm and calmly, it seems that this matter Is a frequent occurrence. Later, when we eat and chat rise hotel proprietress also confirmed our reasoning, she Hotel, a small lantern, ashtrays, knife and fork or chopsticks to eat have often been stolen out of the entrance to the new Billboards, less than two days on the fly……

• earlier heard that the Czech people have generally said that German, but I only met two three days, the most incredible is the central train station on the conductor are not even that good to do our homework home, or Really in trouble

General feeling
Fair to say that Prague should be regarded as a beautiful city, but business has been overshadowed by the color of many cultural connotations, people think that noise and empty, so I can only say that it beautiful but lack of charisma. Of course I always think that every person The eyes of the world is not the same, just a few days time we can not on a city and a nation have a comprehensive and profound understanding, I can only I can see into the past and define your own impression, I also respect And I have different views of each and every friend, after all, our main purpose is to visit the poor and unhappy

Finally, I wish you all well in Prague.
