Trip to Prague

 Since I am in Zurich this week I planned a visit to Prague, It is just one hour 20 minutes flight from here.we took a morning flight and reached there around 9 AM. It is a small and convenient airport. We had booked Hilton old town , so that it would be easy to roam around. From airport one can take taxi or public transport also. If one is staying there for 2-3 days , one can also take a pass for 48 hrs or more and it’s valid in all mode of transports.

In old town, there are many hotels and Hotel Paris and Hotel kings court are just next to tram station.

Prague is a city of majestic buildings, be it houses , commercial buildings or museums, all are grand buildings with statues and carvings, haven’t seen anyother European town like this. It’s so beautiful and maintained.

Old town square is huge and surrounded by cafe and restaurants, and all tourist buses, vintage cars , tram and hop n hop off tours. There main attractions are

Astronomical clock.. majestic structure and every hour, there is a parade of apostles on the clock

Old town hall.. it has an underground structure too but we didn’t go as as it was not advised to people who have back problem or heart problem.

Old Jewish quarters.. It’s a 10 minutes walk from the square.There are few synagogues and old cemetery with lots of graves and halls showing all their burial society history and paraphernalia and 2-3 room’ walls are inscribed with names of people perished there at the time of Jewish holocaust. It’s a very sad reminder.

Prague castle.. it’s 20 minutes drive. There they St vitas cathedral and royal palace and many gardens, must be the biggest castle in the world.one needs to walk miles to see it fully.

Charles Bridge.. it’s on Vitava river and near old town square only, one can see the city on both the sides and see the nicknacks there

Crystal is made there , so we found beautiful crystals product everywhere.

Billa supermarket is where one can buy everything specially water:)

Rest, it’s like any other European town full of designer shops, one IVKO, we found quite beautiful.

But here hop on hop off tour is useless, better take conducted tour.

We found Indian restaurant also.. Indian Kitchen and had lunch there, it was good.Checzk cuisine is all about duck,pork,beef, so not for us,so we had Italian or Mexican.
