Prague




Introduction
There is no doubt that Prague is over run by tourists during the summer, but fortunately, it doesn't matter too much. I loved just wandering around, theres literally something around every corner. The ever increasing billboards and more and more western instituions such as McDonalds may well take over Prague soon, but for now it remains a gem.

Things to See
  • Prague Castle

  • Old Town Square

  • Municipal House

  • Karljstein

  • Place to Stay
    I stayed at the Vesta youth hostel, which I booked through STA travel and cost £7 for a dorm bed. Its very central, 5 minute walk from Wenceslas Square and right next to Prague's main train station, Hvlani Ndrazi. This is obviously very useful if you're arriving or departing (as I was) by train. The place itself is very basic, but clean, and not that noisy considering its proximity to the train station.

    Eating
    An interesting restaurant is Klub Architektu, which is near the Bethlehem Chapel (Betlemske Namesti). I ate there twice and enjoyed two courses and drinks for under £5.
