Arrival & Transport Foreword
Prague Spring! Hopefully this year will be a sunny and
beautiful one for your visit to the Golden City. This is one
of the best times to visit; streets arent too crowded yet,
the sun will hopefully be shining and there are too many
events to count.
Youll get a full roundup in our Culture section, but a few
highlights wed like to mention include Dinosarium, a
massive exhibition being held at the Prague Exhibition
Grounds. Real dinosaur fossils and more than 50 exhibits
make this a fun one for young and old alike. If you need
something a bit fresher, the Magnetic Festival is billed as a
dance experience for a new generation. Happening 7 May,
you should get your tickets early to this massive dance and
light show spectacular.
If a sunny day is calling and you need a green place to
relax, take a heart-stopping hike up Petn Hill (or take
it easy and jump on the funicular), followed by lovely
views and lots of space to spread out. If your legs can
take it, climb the view tower to cast your eye upon the
Prague suburbs, or just grab a bench in the rose gardens
and soak up some sun. If spring showers come calling,
head to Obecn dm. Its an Art Nouveau wonder with
lots of entertainment options. Currently, there are two
big exhibitions happening one on Art Nouveau and
the impact it had on future trends, and the second
showcasing Czech fashion designer Blanka Matragis
designs. You can stop for a coffee in the caf, pop down
into the basement for a nice Czech meal, or if you are
lucky, the Prague Symphony Orchestra will be playing
that evening.
Enjoy your Prague Spring and thanks for reading!

AIRPORT
VCLAV HAVEL AIRPORT PRAGUE
Pragues airport is 20 km from the city centre. A taxi to the
town centre now costs around 600 K even if you call a
company to pick you up or talk to one of the representa-
tives from reputable AAA Radiotaxi or 1.1.1. Radiocab
taxi. Dont pick one up from outside the terminal (click
here for taxi rms). Alternatively, use the EDAZ minibus
service (tel. 220 11 42 96, 05:30 - 21:30) that runs every
half hour between the airport and Nmst Republiky
(F-2). Tickets cost 90 K (including one piece of baggage,
children under 10 free) and can be bought from the driver
or from the booth in the arrival terminal. For an extra fee,
EDAZ can also pick you up or drop you o at your hotel.
The cheapest way to get into town is on by bus: N119 (2-8
times per hour between 04:18 and 00:10 with at least one
wheelchair-friendly bus per hour) runs between the airport
and the Dejvick metro station (Line A, green) in about
20 minutes. From Dejvick it is just ve stops to Muzeum
in the centre of town. Bus N100 whisks you to Zlin
(metro Line B, yellow) from the airport in 13 minutes. There
is a new Airport Express (AE) bus from Holeovice which
runs every half an hour, whizzing you across the city in half
an hour, whether you are arriving or departing. Special
fares apply to this bus, tickets can only be bought from
the driver and do not allow any transfers or other forms of
transport. First & last buses from Holeovice 05:15 & 21:45,
from the airport 04:40 & 21:10.
A 32 K transport ticket (plus a 10 K one for big bags) will
get you all the way into town or to the airport on all public
transport except the Airport Express. Tickets can be bought
at the friendly transport information desk in both arrival
halls (open 07:00 - 22:00) or from the coin-operated ma-
chine at the airport bus stop, but not from the driver. You
need to validate the ticket (once for the whole trip) in the
machines on board the bus.
Pragues Terminal North 2 allows for at least 4 million
more passengers a year to travel into Prague with the abil-
ity to continue expansion. New bars, restaurants, shops
and services ply their trade in this terminal which accom-
modates ights to and from Schengen countries (Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland,
Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Greece, Spain & Sweden).
There is a left luggage facilty at the airport which doesnt
close and costs 60 K per item per day.Qtel. (+420) 220
11 33 14, fax (+420) 235 35 09 22, www.prg.aero/en/.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Pragues public transport system (Dopravn podnik) is
e cient, fast and reasonably clean. With three metro
lines, 26 tram routes and 9 night trams you wont need
the bus routes that avoid the centre. Keep in mind that
the centre of Prague is easily accessible on foot.
Tickets, valid for all means of transport, can be pur-
chased from the numerous vending machines at all
metro stations, major tram stops and news stands. You
always need to validate your ticket yourself by stamp-
ing it in the machines at metro entrances and on trams.
The most common ticket is the 32K transfer ticket,
which is valid for 90 minutes after validating . The 24K
non-transfer ticket is meant for tram rides under 30
minutes with no changes, or in the metro for up to 5
stations (changes allowed) from the departure station
within 30 minutes. We suggest you save yourself time by
buying a handful of these on arrival. If youre planning to
stay a bit and explore, get the one-day pass (110K)or
a three-day pass (310K) . Children under 6 travel free;
and tickets are half price up to 15 years old. Large pieces
of luggage (including rucksacks) cost an extra 13K while
dogs ride the rails for 26K. Fines for no validated tickets
are 800K if paid on the spot or pay 1,000K later.
Trams trundle around town every few minutes; useful
lines are N22 and 23 which run from the centre up to
the rear entrance of the castle, saving you the uphill
walk. The metro connects the two main train stations
and Florenc bus station to the centre and runs up to
just after midnight, after which the night trams (the
warm mobile home to many a smelly tramp) take
over, zipping in all directions from the Lazarsk stop
(H-5) every half hour. Tram information is on the red
signs at each stop and is generally correct assuming of
course that some worn out koda hasnt died on the
tram lines.
Beware of Pragues ultra-professional pickpockets, es-
pecially on trams N22 and 23 and in busy metro cars;
consider waiting for the next train if it looks squeezed.
For more information visit Dopravn podniks excel-
lent website with English and German information on
routes and schedules, at www.dpp.cz, or call tel. 222 62

BLACK LIGHT THEATRE
IMAGE BLACK THEATRE
Black theatre is different; the light is different and the
dark is different. The intense darkness of black theatre
is full of fantasy. Poetic pictures are approaching you
from the mysterious and almost indefinite depth of a
black cabinet. You cannot see the actors, as they are
invisible. Suddenly you can see them rather well and
almost dangerously close. Dance will express the un-
spoken, disturb emotions and overcome laws of phys-
ics.QE-1, Praha 1, Pask 4, MStaromstsk, tel.

Regions | Southern Bohemia Regions | Liberec
Far to the north, along the Polish border, lays the intriguing
region of Liberec. Here youll nd mountains and cities; a
curious mix of nature and culture. Discover the area via a
canoe on the Smd River; visit the wonderful Liberec Zoo
or spend an afternoon at the Babylon water park. Liberec
oers a wealth of fun for the entire family.
A mountainous area; the region is dened by the Luick
and Jizersk mountains to the north and the Krkonoe to
the northeast. In the midst, right outside the city of Liberec
is the towering and rugged Jetd Mountain. This symbol
of the region oers magnicent views of the surrounding
valley; and on a clear day you can see straight to Poland.
The unique tower perched on top was designed in 1973 by
architect Karel Hubek. Besides containing a communica-
tions tower; theres also a restaurant and hotel there. The
city of Liberec is a distinctive and modern one. Architec-
tural styles range from 18th century classic style brick in the
centre to well-preserved 19th century industrial. The neo-
classical town hall is quite interesting, as is the villa quarter
with stately homes from the turn of the 20th century. One
of the most interesting can be found on Jabloneck street;
the Lieberg Manor-House. For a true ashback to the
past stroll down Vtrn street and admire the Waldstein
houses. The oldest buildings in town, they are the only
remaining examples of the classical merchant houses that
used to make up the downtown area.
The dominant tower of the Church of St. Antonin the
Great on Sokolovsk nmst is another dening land-
mark of the city; its altar pictures the patron saints of the
Czech lands. The original Liberec synagogue was a monu-
mental homage to Neo-Renaissance architecture. It was
burned down by the Nazis in 1938 and has since been
built. This new incarnation is in the shape of half of the
Star of David, and its faade is symbolically representative
of the Wailing Wall. You can nd this fascinating struc-
ture on Rumjancevova Street.
Now that youve explored the city; its time to visit some of
its sites. The Liberec Zoo is one of the best in the country,
containing wooded areas and a stream running through.
Here you can see eagles, rhinoceros, penguins, giraes and
many more.
In the style of an ancient spa, Babylon entertains modern
families of all ages. This aqua park not only oers water
slides, swimming pools, steam baths and a wild river but
also some drier activities such as bowling, laser shooting
and a casino. Theres a hotel and restaurant onsite as well.
For more cultural pursuits, check out the Museum of
Northern Bohemia (its building is worth the entrance fee
alone) or the Regional Gallery, lled with European and
Czech art. But now lets get out of the city and explore what
other attractions the region has to oer.
From ruined castles to elegant homes; from rock towns to
world class zoos everyone will nd something to discover
in and around Liberec.
The region south of Prague is an outdoor lovers paradise.
Bikers and walkers ock to the area every weekend to
experience the fresh air and beautiful countryside. Pictur-
esque towns and historical castles are available to discover,
whether you choose to explore the region by your own
power or not. We introduce you to four towns well-worth
your time.
ESK KRUMLOV
This jewel of Southern Bohemia is almost too picture per-
fect. A grandiose castle on a hill; a winding river twisting
and turning its way through the town; narrow streets hud-
dled together the adjectives could go on and on. Unfor-
tunately, all this cuteness brings a lot of tourists. One of the
most visited cities in the Czech Republic after Prague; youll
be sharing the tiny streets with many a camera-touting
traveller. Thats not to say you should give it a pass however.
Spend a couple days there; youll discover early mornings
and late afternoons and evenings are a bit more peaceful
and allow you to truly absorb the splendor.

TEBO
Peat moss and sh. Sounds like a smelly combination but
throw in some bikes and youve got a perfect Tebo trip.
This spa city lies in the heart of the Tebo Basin, a UNESCO
biosphere reservation. The area is laced with sh ponds, full
of the countrys favorite sh carp. While visiting, be sure to
try it. If youve eaten it before youll be surprised by its clean,
fresh taste. These ponds are full of peat moss, and what bet-
ter to do with the plethora than spread it on your body?
The stu is supposedly full of iron, so good for your joints. A
relaxing way to spend an evening after biking through the
area on well-marked trails.

The main square of Nmst Mru is a treasure trove of archi-
tectural styles while the nearby Vajgar Lake oers a cooling
landscape. Climb the tower of the Church of the Assump-
tion of the Virgin Mary for a birds eye view of the surround-
ing countryside or stay low and experience the Gothic and

TBOR
Religious wars and the Hussites played a big part in the
countrys history back in the 1400s. No where is this more
apparent or preserved than the town of Tbor. The second
largest city in the region, its historical center is a beautiful
maze. The streets were originally designed to thwart in-
vading armies; but now they are an enjoyable way to nd
yourself getting lost. Visit the Hussite Museum and Under-
ground Tunnels for a glimpse back; or wander around Lake
Jordan for a breath of fresh air. Tbors easy style and close
proximity to Prague make it a great place to spend the day.

Regions | Olomouc
For those looking to escape the crowds of Prague, Olomouc,
a roughly 3 hour train ride from the capital, should capture
your heart. The pretty university town is small enough to
be charming, yet interesting enough for at least a weekend.
Located in Moravia, theres a plethora of architecture and
history.
Olomouc is the fth largest city in the Czech Republic
with a population of about 100,000. It is home to the
countrys second oldest university (after Charles Uni-
versity in Prague) which means its culture scene is alive
and theres a variety of dining and entertainment op-
tions available. To get a feel for the city, start you day on
the main square, Horn nmst. There you will nd the
UNESCO listed Holy Trinity Column. It is the largest col-
lection of Baroque statues within the framework of one
sculpture group in Central Europe. The lower part con-
tains a chapel, which can be visited by appointment only.
The column is made up of 18 statues, 12 torchbearers, 6
reliefs, a sculptural group of the Assumption of the Virgin
Mary and nally at the top, the Holy Trinity. Also on Horn
nmst is an Astronomical Clock we told you a visit
would be like Prague! This clock is quite dierent from
the one that draws massive crowds to Old Town Square.
The clock dates back to the end of the 15th century,
however the form it takes here is much dierent than
what the original planners had designed. During World
War II, the clock was so damaged in the ghting that City
Hall decided not to reconstruct it, but instead design
something modern. What youll see now is a 1950s work
depicting Communist era proletariat, like builders, agri-
cultural workers and other laborers. The clock performs
once a day, at noon, for about ve minutes.
There are a number of interesting museums in Olomouc
something for nearly everyone.

Kutn Hora is inseparably connected with silver mining
and coin minting. In the past it was rightfully regarded as
a heritage jewel of our nation, as its wealth once fuelled
the Czech Kingdoms expansion. Its cultural and historical
importance was recognised in 1995, when the historic
town centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, along with the Cathedral of St Barbara and the
Cathedral of Assumption of Our Lady and St John the
Baptist in Sedlec. The centre has preserved its historic
spirit thanks to sensitive reconstruction of the buildings,
stone streets and pavements.
Both Cathedrals, as well as the Italian Court, the former roy-
al mint, and the renowned Ossuary (decorated entirely with
human bones) keep their gates open all year round. A cellar
under the Sankturin House hides away a unique Alchemy
Workshop Museum ask the Information Centre sta for
admission. To learn about the dark side of the towns his-
tory, you can visit the Unveiling of the Mysterious Face of
Kutn Hora Museum located at the Italian Court.
The Czech Museum of Silver is located in the Gothic palace
Hrdek and oers guided tours to the medieval silver mine
from April to November. Last year the Museum won the
Travellers Choice Attractions Award from TripAdvisor, the
worlds largest travel site. The award was based on candid
feedback from travellers recognising travellers favourite

the execution of preacher J. elivsk in 1422, to the attacks
on Soviet tanks with Molotov cocktails in 1968. Towering
above the square, half-hidden behind a row of houses, is
the fairy-turreted Tn Church. The centrepiece of the square
is a memorial to Jan Hus. It was draped in swastikas by the
Nazis and in black cloth to mourn the passing of the Prague
Spring.QE-3, Praha 1, MStaromstsk.
TOWN HALL & ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK
The 14th century Town Hall complex
features a tower with an astronomi-
cal clock, added in the 15th century.
Every hour on the hour Jesus and his
disciples lead a pageant that includes
the allegorical gures of Death, the
Turk, the Miser, the Fool and the
Rooster. It sounds more impressive
than it actually is, but its still worth a look. The climb or
lift up the tower is rewarded by the stunning views.QE-

09:00 - 18:00, Mon 11:00 - 18:00. Admission 60/40K.
VYEHRAD
The rocky cli-top boasts Pragues
second castle. In the hearts and
minds of many Czechs, Vyehrad
symbolises the birth of the Czech
nation and is shrouded in legend
and myth. This is apparently the spot
where Princess Libue stood and pre-
dicted the rise of a great city. Literally
translated as high castle, it was probably founded in the
middle of the 10th century. In 972 Prince Boleslav II built
the royal mint here, and in 1085 Vratislav II selected it as
his residence. Over the following centuries successive kings
remodelled the palace and fortress, but moved their per-
manent home across the river. Within the fortress connes
is the national cemetery (Vyehradsk hbitov), which from
the 1870s became the nal resting place of many of the
most famous Czech writers and composers, including Jan
Neruda, Bedich Smetana and Antonn Dvok.QH-7, Pra-
ha 2, Sobslavova 1, MVyehrad. Open 09:30 - 17:30.
WENCESLAS SQUARE (VCLAVSK NMST )
Vclavsk nmst is actually a
boulevard running down from
the National Museum and the
equestrian statue of Saint Wenc-
eslas to Mstek, formerly the site
of of a city gate and drawbridge.
This is where crowds traditionally come to demonstrate
against their incompetent rulers, and this was where, in 1989,
thousands gathered to shake their keys in celebration of the
death of the Communist Party. Rows of shops, hotels (note
the Art Nouveau glory of Hotel Europa) and nightclubs ank
the pavements, and by night it can get a bit sleasy. Thankfully,
there are plans to rid the square of cars, bury the highway in
front of the museum in a tunnel and have tram N11 make
a come-back.QF-4, Praha 1, Vclavsk nm., MMstek.
The essentials of Prague - if you see nothing else, do not miss
these sights. Obviously in this city that has been a destina-
tion for hundreds of years, there is much to see and do, and
one of the most enjoyable aspects is just wandering around.
Dont forget to look up as the gilded spires are rightfully what
Prague is renowned for. But keep an eye of the ground too -
dog owners are not renowned for their cleaning-up ability.
CHARLES BRIDGE (KARLV MOST)
Karlv most joins Star Msto
(Old Town) and the Mal Strana
(Little Quarter) and is one of the
worlds most beautiful bridges.
The bridge was built in 1357, but
the gures of saints were added
during the 17th century. They symbolise the condence of
the Catholic Austrians triumph over the Protestant Hus-
sites. The bridge is thronged all day with tourists, while at
night it oers wonderful views of the illuminated castle and
Old Town. Go at dawn to be alone and witness the saints
emerging from the mist.QC-3, Praha 1, MStaromstsk.
MUNICIPAL HOUSE (OBECN DM)
The magnicent Obecn Dm
building holds two restaurants,
a super caf, an American bar, a
gallery, shop and classical music
venue. Built between 1905 and
1910 in the architecturally stun-
ning Art Nouveau style, the Municipal House has been
painstakingly restored to its former glory. It was here that
the Czechoslovakian state was signed into being on October
28, 1918. It was also here in 1989 that communist bureau-
crats and revolution leaders of the Civic Forum discussed
the velvet transfer of power and the states transformation
to democracy.QF-3, Praha 1, nm. Republiky 5, MNm.

This lavish neo-Renaissance
building on the bank of the
Vltava, with its golden crown

and was almost immediately destroyed by re. It reopened

of activity, day and night, and a long

OUR LADY OF SNOW (U PANNY MARIE SNN)
The towering Gothic torso hidden near Vclavsk nmst
was started o in 1347 by Charles IV as a Carmelite order
monastery. Construction was stopped by the Hussites in
1419, and only the 34m-high choir of the planned 110m-
long church was nished. The Franciscans renovated the
ruins of the church in 1604, adding the magnicent Re-
naissance altar. The peaceful adjacent monastery gardens
(Frantiknsk zahrada) are an excellent place to soak up
the sun.QE-4, Praha 1, Jungmannovo nm, MMstek.
ST. IGNATIUS CHURCH (KOSTEL SV. IGNCE)
The construction of what was intended to be a basilica
began in 1665 on these very grounds. In 1671 the church
alongside Karlovo Square was nally completed and the
large statue of Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit or-
der, was placed on top. The church is still active and run
by Jesuit monks.QH-5, Praha 2, Jen 2, MKarlovo
nmst, tel. (+420) 224 92 12 54.
ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH
Construction of this Baroque pile began in 1673, but it
would be nearly another 80 years until the Jesuits complet-
ed it. Peer closely at the copper statue of St. Nicholas above
the gold coated altar; the two statues below him are of St.
Ignatius Loyola and St. Francis Xavier. The ceiling fresco de-
picts the apotheosis of St. Nicholas. Also of interest is the
organ, which has 2500 pipes and 44 registers, and it was
these very ivories that Mozart tinkled on his visit to Prague.

CHURCHES
BETHLEHEM CHAPEL (BETLMSK KAPLE)
From 1402 to 1412, Jan Hus preached at the Bethlehem
Chapel, hence its signicance for non-Catholics, but in
1622, the Jesuits took control of the chapel and Catholic
mass became the service of the day. Then in 1786 it was
levelled, only to be rebuilt (somewhat strangely) by the
communists, who had preserved its architectural plans in
1950. Apparently, they were keen to exploit the chapels
symbolism as an historic emblem of Czech national pride.
QD-3, Praha 1, Betlmsk nmst, MStaromstsk.
Open 10:00 - 17:30. Closed Mon.
BEVNOV MONASTERY
(BENEDICTINE ARCHABBEY)
Established in 992-993 by the Bishop of Prague, Vojtch,
and the Bohemian Prince, Boleslav II, Brevnov Monastery
is the oldest Benedictine monastery in the Czech Republic.
The former wooden monastery underwent Roman then
Gothic renovation and became an important religious,
cultural and economic institution for the Czech kingdom.
During the Hussite wars it was burned down, but 200 years
later, it was crafted into its present Baroque form. The large
monastery complex contains the Basilica of St. Markety, the
terrace garden, the Vojtka spring and St. Josephs Chapel.
Tram N8, 22 to Bevnovsk klter.QPraha 6, Marktsk 1.
CHURCH OF OUR LADY VICTORIOUS
This house of worship was built by German Lutherans be-
tween 1611-1615. To the right of the entrance is a com-
memorative site to the 16th century Spanish nun, St.
Therese of Avila, who along with friar John of the Cross,
reformed the Carmelite order into what is known as the
Discalced Carmelites. Further inside is the churchs claim
to fame, a 45cm high wax statuette of Jesus known as the
Infant Jesus of Prague, which is a pilgrimage site of sorts - for
its historical and religious importance, and a couple of un-
named miracles that have been attached to it.QB-3, Praha
1, Karmelitsk 9, MMalostransk, tel. (+420) 257 53 36
46, www.pragjesu.info. Open 08:30 - 19:00, Sun 08:30 -

LORETA
One of the countrys most famous places of pilgrimage,
this chapel is just a quick walk from the main entrance to
the castle. Built between 1626-1720, this Baroque building
contains, among other icons and objects, a painting of a
bearded lady, ornate friezes, bejewelled icons and a high
quota of chubby-cheeked cherubs. The small museum also
houses a collection of diamond ostensories. Within the
main chapel there is the brickwork supposedly from the
original Loreto in Italy which was own over from Italy by
some well-meaning angels. Blasphemers take note - the
split in the wall was supposedly caused by a thunderbolt
red o at one of your kind.QA-1, Praha 1, Lorentnsk
nm. 7. Open 09:00 - 12:15, 13:00 - 16:30. Admission
110/90K.

ternbersk palc from 1698. Its part of the National Gal-
lery and home to a collection of European art, including
Rubens and Rembrandt. In 1991 thieves stole US$2.6 mil-
lion worth of Picassos.QHradansk nm. 15. Open 10:00
- 18:00. Closed Mon.
ST. VITUS CATHEDRAL
Moving into the third courtyard of the castle youll face one
of Europes great Gothic cathedrals. St. Vitus is the spiritual
heart of the nation as the mausoleum of Bohemian kings
and the citys greatest landmark. Work on the present ca-
thedral was started in 1344 but it wasnt consecrated until
1929. Check out Muchas stained glass window and the

of Christ on the exterior of the cathedral. The mosaic is 84
square metres and was created in 1371.QOpen 09:00 -
16:00.
OLD ROYAL PALACE (STAR KRLOVSK PALC)
One of the oldest and most impressive parts of the castle,
the Old Royal Palace dates from 1135 and was the seat of
Bohemian princes. From the 13th to the 16th century it was
the kings palace. The magnicent Vladislav Hall was used
for banquets, councils, coronations and even jousting. All
presidents have been sworn in here, and this building was
where the 1618 defenestration took place. The palace con-
tains The Story of Prague Castle exhibition. Dont forget to
have a look at the Rampart Gardens below.QOpen 09:00
- 16:00. Admission 120/60K.
GOLDEN LANE (ZLAT ULIKA)
The phrase picturesque street might have been invented
to describe this tiny cobbled lane with its miniature work-
ers cottages. After a lengthy reconstruction, the Lane
has reopened and now features displays on how past
residents of the street used to live. A few of the souvenir
shops do remain. It was on this street, or so legend has
it, that 16th-century alchemists laboured to discover the
Philosophers Stone to make gold from lead. Franz Kafka
spent evenings at his sisters house, N22.QOpen 09:00
- 16:00.
DALIBORKA TOWER
Built in 1496 and used as a prison till the end of 18th cen-
tury, the tower stands on your left as you exit the Golden
Lane. It is so named for its rst prisoner, Dalibor of Kozo-
jedy, whose story was told by Smetana in his 1868 opera
Dalibor. The underground cell is truly terrifying.QOpen
09:00 - 16:00.
PALACE GARDENS
A large set of steeply terraced gardens leading up to the
castle. The steep climb up to the castle is rewarded by t-
ness, some beautiful landscaping and stunning views of
the city.QB-1, Valdtejnsk 12. Open 10:00 - 18:00. Ad-
mission 80/40K, families 180K.
The largest collection of wonders in the city, Prague castle
is an amalgamation of architecture from dierent periods.
From the almost pastoral serenity of St. Georges Basilica, to
the awe-inspiring Gothic power of St. Vitus Cathedral, the
castle has attractions for all - history and architecture plus
marching soldiers and entertainment.
APPROACH & ENTRY
There are two information centres, one in the second
courtyard and one in the third. Here you can nd out what
time the changing of the guard takes place, buy tickets and
get audio guides.
There are four ways to approach the castle. By far the
best way is to take tram N22 to the Pohoelec stop, where
you start with breathtaking views of Prague from Strahov
Monastery; then walk down through beautiful Hradansk
district along Loretnsk towards the main castle entrance
on Hradansk nmst. You can skip the Hradansk walk
by getting o the tram earlier, at the Prask hrad stop, from
where you enter the second courtyard. Alternatively, walk
up Nerudova and the steep hill from Malostransk nmst.
The worst approach is up the Star zmeck schody steps
near Malostransk metro station; these are best kept for
the way down.QA-1, Praha 1, Hradany, tel. (+420)

the building has been home to the Museum of Military
History since 1945.QHradansk nm. 2. Open 10:00 -

JEWISH MUSEUM
As synagogues and prayer rooms began to be demolished by
Pragues municipal o ces at the end of the 19th century, the
Czech-Jewish community applied their vigour to creating a
Jewish Museum wherein ritual objects could be saved from de-
struction and kept for future generations. Thus, in 1906 Pragues
Jewish Museum began with a modest collection. Today, it is
celebrating its centenary with an exhibit here entitled Defying
the Beast (until 1 Oct). The museum is closed on Jewish holi-
days too.QE-2, Praha 1, U Star koly 3, MStaromstsk, tel.

hospital location, their church and crypt, various bridges;

STS. CYRIL AND METHODIUS CHURCH
This Orthodox church was built in honour of Sts. Cyril and
Methodius, the men responsible for the Slavonic alphabet.
However, most people know about this church because
of what happened here at 04:10 on the morning of June
18, 1942 when the Nazis had discovered that the seven
Czech parachutists involved in the assassination of Reich-
sprotektor Heydrich were hiding in the crypt. The west side
of Karlovo nmst was cordoned o by 800 troops from
the SS and the Gestapo. Three of the soldiers died as the
SS stormed the church. The remaining four fought on. After
hours of shooting and a long stand-o which led to the
Germans deciding to literally ush them out, they used
their last bullets on each other. The bullet-scarred exterior
wall holds a plaque in honour of their bravery.
KAMPA MUSEUM
Museum Kampa is located on the west bank of the Vl-

MUSEUM OF COMMUNISM
The posters featuring the workers of the state, featuring a
mix of socialist-realism which produces simultaneoushilar-
ity and dark brooding, are almost worth the entrance fee
on their own. Errant and erratic household objects can give
this place an incomplete feel, however, the photos and his-
torical information on display are a minimalist introduction
to the events of this period.QF-4, Praha 1, Na Pkop 10,

CURIOSITIES
VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM MEMORIAL
Near the funicular railway station and opposite the jezd
tram stop, there is a controversial memorial to the victims
of communism. A group of statues by Olbram Zoubek
emerge into totality as they walk, or are at various stages
of destruction, depending how you look at it. Why are they
controversial? Other artists say they are kitschy, while femi-
nists are angry because all the gures are male and they
(quite rightly) claim women were persecuted under the
communists regime too. The memorial was damaged by
two bomb attacks in late 2003.QA-4, jezd tram stop.
VILLA MLLER
This icon of modern architecture was designed by Mora-
vian-born Adolf Loos for construction magnate Frantiek
Mller in 1930. The building looks like a solid white block
from the outside, though the interior is constructed with
marble, mahogany and walnut, highly polished and cleanly
designed. The rooms all sit at various levels around an as-
cending sweeping spiral. Tram N1,18 to Oechovka.QPra-

EASTER IN PRAGUE
Easter isnt so much a Christian holiday here; as a wel-
come to spring one. Easter Monday, 21 April, is a pub-
lic holiday. An excellent souvenir this time of year would
be some of the beautifully hand painted eggs that can
be found in shops throughout the city. An interesting,
and perhaps controversial older tradition is that having
to do with the pomlzka. These traditional braided birch
rods are used as whipping toys on Easter Monday. Men
and boys would traditionally walk through town whip-
ping women and girls who then rewarded this behav-
iour with coloured eggs or other small treat. Men usually
want a shot. Its thought that the whipping will ensure
fertility, beauty and good health in the coming year.
Some special Easter and springtime treats to watch out
for include lamb-shaped sponge cake, often covered in
chocolate; sweet buns; gingerbread cookies and jide
or Judas rolls, which are sweet rolls glazed with honey.
There are some other interesting spring traditions in
the Czech Republic. The night of April 30 - May 1 is
the evening of the witches. Its said evil spirits are extra
active this night so folks used to burn res around their
villages to keep away the wickedness. Recent custom
has people setting alight homemade witches in a sym-
bolic burning away of winter and welcome to spring.

Prague is as famous for its sex clubs as it is for its beer.
Stag nights take advantage of the price and availability
of both, and on the whole these clubs are well organ-
ised and clean. Safe sex is practiced, and bouncers and/
or managers will explain the rules and methods of each
place on arrival. It is cheaper to partake over here, but
that does not mean you wont pay for the privilege of
watching a live sex or lesbian show. Generally, youll
have to pay an entrance fee (around 300K) to sit at the
bar; this fee is waived if you are there to pay for other
services immediately. Many of the central clubs pay
men and women to entice you off the street and into
their nearby establishments, but if youre heading some-
where by taxi, make sure youre taken to the one you
want to go to rather than the one the taxi driver gets
commission from. Check prices of services and drinks,
and enjoy
