Prague is a place where I NEED to go in summer. I've been there twice and loved it, but with snow and negative temperatures, I'm sure I only caught the cold side of town. Marvelous places, how will they be with summer life? How do I convince Fernanda? Where are the Czech shopping malls?
I have never heard about Moravian Karst before but I have to say that it is my favorite place which I visited in Czech Republic. In hotel in Brno I found a leaflet about a day trip to this place. There was recomendattion about this company on trip advisor from other tourist and they were very satisfied with this trip. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g274714-d2182219-Reviews-Moravia_Trip-Brno_Moravia.htmlOur guide pick up us in the hotel and she picked up other people on bus station from Prague. We were group of 5 people and Daniela our guide. Than we went to Moravian Karst, it was beatifull green place with forests and many caves. We got a lot of informations about that place, peoples living and it was very relaxed day for me. Daniela she even helped me to find a house, where my grandfather was born.
St. Vitus Cathedral is located inside the complex of the Prague Castle at Hradcanske namesti, the highest point of the city of Prague. It is a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Gothic style of architecture. The history of St. Vitus Cathedral dates back to the 10th century during the reign of Prince Vaclav I. It was formerly known as St. Vitus, St Wenceslas and St. Adalbert Cathedral. The present cathedral was established in the 14th century during the reign of King Charles IV.St Vitus Cathedral is the largest and the most important cathedral in the Czech Republic.

We went for the Pilsen Beer festival. I highly highly recommend this festival. There aren't a zillion people but a wide variety of people of all ages. There are 3 stages within easy walking distance of each other with bands at each one. There is tons of food and other things to do and see along the way. There's lots of beer also. One area had a bunch of blow up beer games that adults can play on/with. There was a big beer can that you can scale like a mountain, a beer can that you ride like a bull, and a big blow up trampline thing that people with sumo wrestler suits can bump each other off (hysterical). Lots of fun! That was near stage 1, a big stage where there was a drumming band. They were very good and entertaining. This was October 4-7 2007 The last day was gray haired old people day and only the stage at the PIlsner Urquell Brewery was set up and a famous accordian band was...
Hluboka nad Vltavou is a quaint little town just north of Ceske Budejovice. The town proper is pleasant and has some solid, typically Czech restuarants, but the real reason to visit is the stunning chateau just above the town. Although there are larger and more imposing castles and chateaux in the Czech Republic, in terms of simple elegance and visual splendor this has to be one of the best. The castle was originally a gothic fortress that was rebuilt in the 19th century in the style of Windsor castle in England. The interiors of the castle are fabulous, containing a mixture of interiors ranging from Gothic to Renaissance. The chateau is also surrounded by beautiful gardens and an art gallery, which is nice but a tad pricey.
Cesky Krumlov is on the UNESCO World Heritage list and deservedly so, with it's nearly intact old town center. It is unfortunately a bit too accessible and well know so plan your visit for off season and mid-week to avoid seeing it in too crowded condtions. Though it is rapidly changing and all of the best beer places I tried to find had been replaced with pizza joints or upscale cafes, wandering the cobblestone streets is still like stepping back in time.
On the Elbe river, near Saxonian border, there is the district town of Decin, in German Tetschen. There were originally twin cities - Decin on the right bank of the river and Podmokly (Bodenbach) on the opposite one.
Prague has quickly went from East European gem to one of the top cities to see in all of the continent, up there with Paris, Rome and Amsterdam. This has come at a cost, however, as it has become overcrowded and more westernized. Still, it's hard to beat its amazing array of architecture and still inexpensive prices compared to the other biggies of the sophmore college crowd tour.
Kampa is an island in Prague. Famous for:Lenon's Wall (in 80's people drew pictures of John Lenon and Yoko Ono during her visit in Prague signed up on the wall, of course now it's covered with other grafitti so you will not find this signature...). Park in park you can enjoy fantastic view as well as modern art :) This is one of places in Prague where you find David Černý's works (in front of Kafka's Museum and in front of Kampa Museum).
If you happened to be in the country for more then just a weekend and you have the chance to travel around, go to the mountains. There are plenty of opportunities for trekking, hiking and other outdoor activities in this country.
