Prague! When the decision was made to leave, I felt a surge of joy - cease to be a person who has the beauty of this city had so far a vague idea! Among friends reigns convinced that the Czech capital is the greatest place in Europe.
Zabukowanie Strahov hostel accommodation was an excellent idea. It's a great starting point for exploring Prague - walk through the rose garden, walking in the direction of Prague Castle, you can climb up to the Petrin lookout tower that captures the panorama of Prague. On the way from the station to the Strahov use the cable car - a spectacular view of the Castle, Charles Bridge and Lesser Town. And something else - rarity - the largest sports stadium in the world (9 football fields).

The plan for today - wandering through the old town at night. Why? The city then completely changes the atmosphere and disappear from the streets of ubiquitous crowds of tourists. Not saying that besieged their sights are uninteresting. On the contrary, but the crowd and displayed at every turn discourages commerce. I would definitely recommend wanderings through the streets of Prague, between the palaces Hrad evening. To meet the special atmosphere of this city we go outside the center, visit the districts Smichov, Vinohrady, Karlin, Žižkov, Bubeneč. Night trip to Prague finish beer tasting in hostincu.
The next day, I admit - zaspaliśmy on the Charles Bridge and we were only around 10.00. We were greeted with a lot of tourists, most of the tripods and cameras. A little tight, but manages to make a successful image. Unfortunately, after a 9.00 on the Hradcany attacking the crowd of visitors and amateur photography have been a big problem. We decide on a trip to the Josefov, the former Jewish Ghetto. The abundance of the former local Jews say the synagogue is not only beautiful and impressive tombs in the cemetery (grave of Judah among the tombstones Lowa - the legendary creator of the Golem), but a stately houses. Clock tower eighteenth-century Jewish Town Hall keeps track of time in Hebrew: A guide moves to the left, as Hebrew is read the letter.

After a leisurely afternoon walk on Vaclavaku look to the art deco historic arcades and elevators. Before the meal will put a boat trip under the bridges of the Vltava river. Czech cuisine is fat, but it is tasty, similar to the traditional Polish. Basis mainly pork, potatoes, bread, beer and cream. A real calorie bomb. T. Mann said that the kitchen is great, if you use it once a week or after a hard day's work in the field. Sit at the doorstep of the "U houbaře" (U mushroom) and pałaszujemy delicious dumplings with cabbage and meat, because to be in Prague and Czech dumplings to eat is a sin. We go to bed with full bellies, tired but satisfied.

The next day we go underground, from George of Podebrad, hence only a few steps to the television tower. The building of more than 216 m from the turn of the 70s and 80s of last century had grown into a place of the old Jewish cemetery. It is worth to spend on a ticket to see Prague with its highest point. The next stage - Hradcany. It's that crowded and loud, but you have to see. I was enchanted by the Strahov Monastery, with a library - two rooms: the philosophical and theological high cabinets with antique globes. Apart from this collection of shells, sea stuffed animals, models of ships and side arms.
Prague can wander all day and every day to explore its this city. It is said that Prague is a place of cult, it attracts like a magnet.

Proof? Streets full of happy, smiling people, crowded cafes, multilingual voices.
