Internet Cafes in Prague
by ZiOOlek
Using Internet in Prague is expensive. Usually, when you go to Internet cafe in the city centre you will have to pay from 60 CZK per hour.
Probably the cheapest Internet cafe is Planeta. It is situated in 102 Vinohradska street (Praha 3). You may get there by the metro (line A) and you need to leave on Jiriho z Podebrad or Flora. The cafe is about three minutes from the metro station. You may also walk from Vaclavskie Namesti and it should take about 15 minutes.
The cafe is open from 8 a.m. till 11 p.m. Prices starts at 24 CZK per hour. You will get a paper with the hour and when you leave you show it and pay for every minute. You need to choose also colour of the sheet. There are three colours: blue - oldest computers and the cheapest; white - standrad comuters; and red - the most modern, with Word, but also the most expensive. I always use blue computers and I think that they are not too old and they are quite fast. So, it is unnecessary to pay more.:) You may find the cafe at: www.planeta.cz
Park

There are quite a few parks in Prague where you can sit for a while tov re-read you travel literature or write a few pages of diary. Don remember exctly where near the old town. We were having a stroll in my 2nd visit to Prague in Sep. 2003.
TIPPING
by anglosaxon
No Czech person ever leaves a tip on the table. The way you tip is this: the bill comes to 90Kc, if you give the waiter a 100Kc note, he would expect to keep it (i.e. you have given the bill +10%. In Czech you would normally tell the waiter how much to take i.e if the bill was for 120kc I would give the waiter a 200kc note and tell him to take 140kc. (I have given him a 20kc tip) He would then give me the change of 60kc. If you do not know Czech numbering it's best to wait for the change and IMMEDIATELY give your tip back to the waiter as we don't leave a tip on the table here.

cesky krumlov
by doug48
cesky krumlov is a very worth while side trip when in prague. by train you go to ceske budejovice then connect to cesky krumlov. the trip takes about 3 1/2 hours. you can easily see cesky krumlov in an over night stay. i suggest leaving prague early and get there in the early afternoon and spend the night. spend the following morning in cesky krumlov and return to prague in the afternoon. this will give you plenty of time to see the sites of cesky krumlov. this is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in europe and should be included when planing a trip to prague. see my cesky krumlov pages for more information.
Zamek Konopiste: Castle guard ( sentry ) duty
by hundwalder
The changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace and at Prague Castle are legendary events. However, the sentries at Konopiste Castle guard the premises with slightly less vigilence, pomp, and ceremony. Shown is the chief castle sentry at his post. Warning: Do not descend into the moat to have your picture taken with this big strong fellow. It is ill advised.
The ancient castle moat is now dry ( except following heavy rainstorms ), and serves as the home of the modern moat " monsters ", a pair of European black bears.
Considering how many animals were killed by their former owner, it is poetic justice that the Zamek Konopiste grounds now offer sanctuary to many animals including peacocks and permanently disabled falcons and hawks.
