Avoid The Crowds
by littlesam1
Old Town Square is almost always crowded. Tourists flock to see the Astronomical clock chime on the hour. There are many restaurants and lots of activitiy. So it easily becomes over crowded and unpleasant during the peak hours of the day. But as you can tell from my photo here it is not always jammed with tourists. I took this picture around 9:30 in the morning from the Old Town Tower. So to avoid the crowds visit the square earlier in the day or later in the evening. One of my fondest memories is seeing this great church in the evening with all of the lights shining on it. It takes on an almost fairy tale like appearance in the evenings.

~ Absinth ~
by Heavens-Mirror
In the bars & clubs of Prague, the drink is prepared by burning a small amount of absinth soaked sugar on a spoon, which you then stir into your glass of absinth and douse with water (1-2 parts water to absinth).
It is worth trying some Absinth when in Prague but its not very tasty... although you might like it. You can also buy it in small bottles and give to friends as gifts.
Excursion to Karlstein Castle
by BorneoGrrl
25 km from Prague, Karlstein Castle sits on top of Knezni Mountain and when you first catch a glimspe of it, you will be pretty amazed. An excursion will take you to one side of the castle and you are expected to walk through the forest and up a steep hill for 20 mins or so before you reach the entrance. This royal castle was built in the 14th century as a residence of King Charles IV and to safeguard the crown jewels and some important documents. The Chapel of the Holy Rood was where the crown jewels were once kept, houses a unique set of 128 panel paintings by Master Theodoric, dating back to the 1360's. Part of the original furnishing and decorations can still be seen. You also won't see some parts of the castle or the crown jewels itself
