Walking Tours
by Nazreal
I would definitely spend some time on a walking tour if you're a spare morning of afternoon going. the tour guide I went with was friendly, talkative, gave you enough time to take photos and knew so much history but didnt make it boring; I feel a lot more clued in about Prague and the area we went to. I went to Prague in February when it was -22*c and I would definitely go there at that time again- the fog and mist made the amber street light glow, effusing such a romantic soft pink in the air- I will never forget wondering around Old Town and Charles bridge at night with no crowds, getting happily lost down cobbled streets and stumbling across the cutest cafes!
Afternoons in the parc
by vanessadb
My stay in Prague was during the summer. We had classes most of the days, but when we had the day or part of it off, we would head to the Kampa parc. We spent many relaxing afternoons there and met a lot of the friends we made this way, as many of the locals and expats tend to do this on sunny afternoons. Playing games, hanging out, writing and reading, or just talking the afternoon away....
Postcards
by bugalugs
I suppose you could call sending postcards a custom. We went into the main Post Office to get our stamps and to post some of the cards which I had written.
The main post office is open daily 02.00-24.00
Its was a bit confusing as to which window you required. There is a ticket machine which tells you the numbers of the counter which deals with certain items. I couldnt find one that said stamps, so took a ticket for something else, waited in line and when it was our turn was told it was the wrong one, they then told us which counter we needed and we queued again. Fortunately it was very quiet when we were in.
International postcards were 9kc.
There are also telephones here and you can buy phone cards.
However I sent cards to 16 vt friends and not one single person has yet received one!!!! I find this rather strange!
The main Post Office is a lovely building on Jindnsska which is off Wenceslas Square on the left hand side if you are looking up towards the National Museum.
Great place to watch "the" game
by barbipez
there are quite a few places to see the "big" game - Caffrey's, Legends, JJ Murphys are just a few that I really like.
Legends has a ton of screens with multiple games going on. in old town / ungelt
caffrey's will normally have just one game on, and gets filled fast. in old town.
JJ's is smaller, but great. normally one game on at a time.
all have great food. a little more on the pricey side - touristy prices, but still good. gear - an empty stomach for beer and food!
