His tale of Prague, when friends started asking about my journey, I began with the words: "Describe Prague words - it is simply an insult." And, frankly, did not even want to continue, because what I would not say what would be the colorful epithets would not have been chosen in order to convey all the charm of this city, all this inevitably fade over those feelings, emotions, which causes in my heart, Im sure anyone who had once been there. First impression - is that Prague - extremely pleasant city, despite its status as a capital. Hence the desire to be on its streets - inexhaustible. From Prague it is impossible to get tired. I wandered the streets in order to visit all the sights, and often just turning a corner and discovering the incredible beauty of the park or just a Prague street, which is not listed in the list of attractions, but still adorable ..... wandered so far lacked the legs. This was my first trip abroad. I was traveling alone. Air-tour 8 days and 7 nights. From April 14 through April 21, 2008 The entire trip, including airfare, hotel, tours and pocket money during your stay in Prague cost about 1000 euros. This amount could be easily reduced, but I had a single occupancy and the hotel is within walking distance proximity to the center. Board of tourists who travel in a group of 3 or more people - cheaper than rent apartments, as well as the hotel, you pay for a seat in the room, and in the suites - to all premises irrespective of the number of people who are placed there, usually in an apartment can 4-5 people, thus in the center of Prague can be very profitable to rent good housing. With regard to transport - the most popular, perhaps, is the tram. Fast, accurate, convenient. At each stop, the tram you can find schedules for all routes that pass through this bus stop, and believe me, if the schedule indicates that you want to be on this tram stop in 14.21 - he will be there at 14.21. Metro. Prague Metro includes 3 branches: the green (A), yellow (B), red (C). In the subway is never rush hour, in the form in which we are accustomed to. There, no one ever flies at breakneck speed to have time to drop by and is already full to the eyeballs wagon (those in the Prague metro is not the case). All travel in the metro quite relaxed and not panic. The intervals between the arrival of trains at the station an average of 5-6 minutes, late evening 9-10. To use the tram, metro, bus must purchase a ticket (ezdenka), which gives the right to use any of the above types of public transport. In spring 2008 ezdenka worth CZK 26 - just over 1 euro. Members are entitled to travel by public transport with changes within 75 minutes on weekdays, 90 minutes weekends. You can also purchase ezdenku using mobile phone by sending SMS. Read how to do it at any metro station in front of the turnstile, near the machines to purchase ezdenok. Very convenient. At least a couple of times to me this chance to buy tickets via SMS rendered in good stead when, for example, was in the area of Hradcany (near St. Vitus Cathedral) and the nearest tram stop is not found a kiosk where you can buy ezdenku and go to the nearest station underground for a long time. Weather. Im hoping that in the middle of April will be quite warm weather. Well, if not warm, at least clear and pleasant to be able to spend time on the street and enjoy the walks are not sniffling nose and not wrapped in a scarf. However, during my stay in Prague, the weather was very diverse: the first day was very warm, could go out without clothing. And it was good)) The second day all very puzzled low temperature, about +5-6, clouds and rain. On this day, I had a group tour: Hradcany, Old Town (Old Town), Josefov. Some along the tour to buy a hat. I and a few tourists passed only the first hour excursion (baffled previous warm day, not dressed for the weather) and so finally falling ill .... who went where: who is at the hotel, who is the nearest cafe to warm Becherovka. There was a day when rain poured down without ceasing from morning till evening. But I must admit that this is not entirely favorable weather in no way spoiled the impression. Money. In Prague, you need a crown. Euro could pay almost all supermarkets. And of course credit cards. Join with the view of most tourists need to change money from the Arabs - the most lucrative course, no commissions. This advise those same Arabs compare the course. When I searched for exchanger (new location), has found a currency exchange office, where the premises are located in one of two exchange points, both Arabs, but a favorable exchange rate than that of its neighbor in the window beside her. Then 1 Euro = 25 CZK. So do not be lazy to look like, search and find the most advantageous offer. Products in the supermarket more expensive than in Kiev. Dresden. My third day in the Czech Republic, I spent the ... Germany. In a program of excursions included a trip to Dresden. Two hours away by comfortable bus. View from the window was quite picturesque, most of the roads we drove along the river Elbe (or, as the Czechs call it Labe). During the trip the guide entertained us with stories about the Czech Republic and Germany, on August the Strong and his favorite women, about Dresden and its sad fate during the Second World War. The journey passed quickly and pleasantly with impeccable European roads and convenient transport. On the border of Germany, our bus was still stopped for identity checks tourists. The procedure took no more than 15 minutes. The day before the trip to Dresden every guide warned his group that everyone has a passport. Usually, on the border do not stop and check the documents of tourists, but it happens that the border guards still vzbredet mind to do it and if you do not have a passport, would be trouble. Our team was informed on this subject, but four people somehow managed to either forget the passport, then I listen to. In the end, they had to leave the bus before departure, because no one wanted to risk and carry people without passports. Dresden (the surviving part of it) was really worth a visit. (see photo) The Germans are very nice people. This fact was unexpected for me, had heard much of their restrained and not that friendly. However, when I inquired of several people I get to my desired location, they will gladly explain in detail, making sure everything I knew. If you eat with your travel group, then expect that in Dresden, you will spend about five hours. During this time you can catch many things: and to view the most interesting part of the city, and visit the famous picture gallery of old masters, which is in the same, and the Porcelain Museum, and have time to go to the mall, which is also located near the Theater Square (the beginning of your tour and the concentration of attractions in Dresden). To my surprise, there was no limit, when I learned (from local) that in Prague there are no homeless animals. Czechs with great tenderness related to animals and can only guess at how they manage to "not have the unfortunate homeless dogs and cats." Of course, I asked vopros6 "You might as shelters for bedolag there?" They said no. For the Czechs, as well as possible in the subject line of the song fits "On the face terrible, good inside." Not so they are terrible, but that is not very attractive and puzzling what to wear to go "on the people" - thats for sure. On arrival back in Kiev, considering metro "our people" understand that the difference in the appearance of more than obvious. But the Czechs are extremely good-natured (concluded communicated with the local Russian by listening to stories of life, when they had to deal with the Czechs, work with them or rest.) Young people speak well in English. Not like something just barely, but really good. Very happy when on my first day in Prague, went to the office of Vodafone (mobile operator) in Wenceslas Square to buy a SIM card and the girl-seller Consultant 17-18 years, in the purest English, told me that it is better to purchase tariffs calls and answered all my questions. (Sim cost 200 Kc (10 Euros) and the same amount in the account). Rogue 25 years, noting, apparently, my puzzlement to a vending machine ezdenki in the metro has been willing to explain to me how after all this ezdenku buy on .... pretty good English (and then, however, asked for some money). Only now I began to feel sorry for our educational system that teaches young people in schools foreign language almost 10 years, and the number of schools the vast majority of children can not speak English at elementary, while in the Czech Republic, even a bum in a state without much straining talk in English (( Gasoline is more expensive than in Ukraine. Approximately $ 2. Unfortunately, the day before the flight to Prague was caught by surprise in a sudden stole up and knock out a cold. Attempts to recover for that very day before the flight failed and then thats not a sane state at 5 am I was driving to the airport. Still, enthusiasm, comrades, this is a terrible force. Cold "expelled" pills, herbs, rinsing and other wisdoms exactly a week spent in Prague, but in spite of the satisfactory state of health, I am reminded of this inconvenience in the least, seemed to me it is not concerned. Nevertheless, it is for this reason I was not able to implement all plans, meant to be home. Namely: mylilis in Czech Krumlov and Vienna. In my position to survive the trip there would be quite problematic, so the visit was postponed to the following cities visit fabulous Prague. Also, do not hit me and a few excursions, included in my tour: Kutna Hora, an evening walk on the Vltava river. Another surprise I caught up with synagogues and the old Jewish cemetery, which undoubtedly is one of the most interesting sights of Prague. Their visit was scheduled for Sunday, April 20, the last day of my journey. And how could one forget that this day just falls on Passover and all the synagogues and cemeteries were closed to tourists. I will not go into details and describe in detail the sights. These are just a few places where the tourists coming to Prague is simply obliged to visit, although in Prague should, of course, to go anywhere, but still ... St. Vitus Cathedral (Hradcany). Be sure to climb to the very top of its spiral staircase. From there, overlooking the city of Prague, which takes your breath away. Charles Bridge. (This commentary is not needed) I do not know how anyone, but I really sunk into the soul of street Na Kampe (just behind the Charles Bridge) Old Town Square with its famous astronomical clock. The park, about which I wrote above. (Litecka street, park Letna) Singing fountains. And much, much of what you may have read in articles about Prague and feedback from tourists. And come to Prague and enchanting fairytale. You may want to return there, believe me! P.S. Last day in Prague I walked in its streets until late at night (or rather the early morning hours), yet have enough legs and is not yet understood that we should get some sleep before you leave the city a dream (I had an early departure). I walked the streets, slowly, catching every moment, trying to remember the sense of belonging to this city ... like as long as possible for him to have something to do ... and just could not do anything to stay here at least for a day. It was sad, but in my head mature a plan for a new journey to have a little familiar favorite Prague. grand canyon resort trinidad energy services inccome trut etmple texas tourim chaap airffae pictures of soweto beach ary beach club resorts disney word where to honeymoon iin mx dinning on grand caymn fun usa family vacation ides pirates of the caaribbean fountain of youh tito trrinidad medallas olimpics grand cayman ma all inclusive royal unmistakable an d1 barch inclusion bas the map4 mus tourism attiude chane training stables in southwest kanss scuba on caymanislans malpractice in trinidadd and tobago public health cae encyclopedia of tropicalfih pirate of the caribbean dvd treeasure hut caribbean chocolae silver sands deerfield beach florria china most popular places for tourism cascade resort vial o royal grove hotell waikii cook islands hone ymon rofk island histoy glastonbury carnivaal 2009 dae travelling to bal hawaiian honneymoon package deas xm radio rnewal del how to del with manic aggressin pan glao resors lauren super bowl cruuie a lace or island that has many volcanos cherryy hill honeymoon hotel j w alesh tourim picza deals coupos ihtelistaf travl balloon decorations forweddins naples beach resort and gof
