Prague
Hi friends,
I and a group of friends are heading to Prague next August for a whole week visit . I wonder if anyone could tell me how to get from Charles Bridge to the Prague Castle by public transport ? and if we still feel good and decide to try it on foot , which way should we take ? We are considering spending a pleasant evening in the Castle and the adjacent gardens , which of the gardens is a must-see and what would you recommend for a good and not expensive dining there ?
The castle is a short walk up hill from Charles Bridge (it shouldn't take you longer than 10 or 15 minutes) although I think they shut the grounds overnight - I presume about 5 or 6.
It's a bit of a steep walk though.
You can simply get a tram. Tram 22 is easiest. Detailed map and info in English about routes to the castle here:

Most of the castle will be closed in the later evening, of course. The gardens will close at 8pm in August.

I haven't been so over-awed by any of the gardens that I've felt the need to explore them, I'm afraid. So just wander at will through those which most attract you.
You can take tram 22 to "Prazsky hrad" stop (4 stops around 7 minutes) which goes "around" the hill and aproaches Castle "from other side".
Other option is to walk to the hill - 1 km, around 15 minutes. Since you will see the Castle there will be no problem to find it - just follow the crowd....
During summer season the Castle yards are open 5:00-24:00, museums 9:00 – 18:00, Castle gardens 10:00 – 20:00- these are quite small and nothing spectacular, but views from there to the city are great. Gardens on the sides of the hill "under" the Castle have paid entrance. If you really fancy nice walk in the garden raher go to Petrin hill/Kinsky gardens nearby.
Good and not expensive dining? Do you know any near Buckingham Palace in London or at Eifel tower??
Well, the pivovar (microbrewery) in the courtyard of Strahov monastery (just up the hill a bit from the castle) does good food at reasonable prices.....and with truly superb beer:

a restuarant in lesser side straight up from charles bridge is a traditional restaurant U Mecenase http://www.umecenase.cz/, my favourite mount steak has moved so not sure how close it is now. Olympia restaurant part of the Urquell brewery http://www.kolkovna.cz/index.php?flash=1 near the base of the funicular to the Petrin Tower.
Prague is a city built for fun! Whether your into educational things, artistic things, drinking pivo, or just wandering around - there is always some fun to be had.
The rich history, the struggle for freedom, the artisit enlightenment of its citizens all make for a joyous experience.
(I think I'm making a backward S in this photo, but I'm not really sure - I believe I had a bit of the pivo beforehand.)
This neighbourhood is situated on the highest point of the left bank of River Vlatva. Also, it is rich in historic events and monuments, such as: the Castle; the Loretta shrine and the Strahov Monastery.
Most Czechs have no problem walking across tram tracks, even when the trams are close by. It's accepted practice, but never wear headphones while walking by the tracks, as I did. I turned around to find 3 trams queuing up behind me with a the lead tram driver hurling abuse at me. I thought his expressions were quite funny, and probably obscene, but it's not recommended!!!

I visited this place after a friend recommended it . It was worth every cent .
Here there are various performances every night where different kind of music is played.
Sometimes it is classical music other times it is contemorary music.
The fountains change colour and speed to the sound of the music. A very nice & relaxing experience.
I recommend you choose a performance during the night, since the fountains take colour with the lights ...
The venue where this performance takes place is on the outside of the centre of the city , so you have to take either a taxi or a bus.
I can assure you that it is worth the 'hassle' :)

Q: Prague public transportation "Hello VT; I'm so confused how the 1 day or 3 days pass works. It says that you have to validate the pass/ticket before..."
A: "You validate it once and then it is good for the 24/72 hours on all public transport whether metro, bus or tram."
