Our tip
To get one’s fill of eating and amusement ahead of the Lenten fast – those were the main aims of the Czech carnival tradition known as “Masopust”, extending from Epiphany till Ash Wednesday. This tradition originated in the Middle Ages and was quickly adopted by all strata of the population – from the poorest to the rich, in the countryside and in the cities. The Masopust of today, too, offers especially abundance and merriment and is celebrated in many places across the Czech Republic

Venice of Prague

Maybe you are saying to yourself: What a lot of rubbish that is, Prague is not on the water. Most of it is not, but a small part of the ancient centre is. Although you won’t find any gondolas here or singing gondoliers, viewing Prague from the surface of the Vltava can be interesting. You will get to see places which are inaccessible on land. You will discover the genius loci of ancient Prague and investigate the mystery of the watery underground here.

Hradčany also has places which tourists do not go very much
 
05/02/2012
Prague Castle is a dominant feature of our capital city, the most important monument and also reputedly the largest castle complex in the world. Simply put, Prague Castle is unique. It is a place from where princes, kings and presidents have ruled for centuries and where the footsteps of all visitors to Prague lead, because you just have to see this castle!
Most tourists only visit the well-known places heaped in superlatives. But there are corners which people do not visit much and yet which are well worth walking around.
Prague Features the Trendiest Hotel in Europe
 
31/01/2012
“The ICON Hotel & Lounge” in Prague was selected by the users of the worldwide server TripAdvisor as the trendiest hotel in Europe for the year 2011. It is located in the city centre, V Jámě Street, Prague 1, just a few steps from Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square. A team of young designers combined traditional architectural elements with modern conceptions, thus creating a unique transformation of a 19th century house into a very interesting space. The name of the hotel itself was not chosen by accident: the building was once owned by Orthodox believers, which is proven by a magnificent icon that has been preserved until today. The hotel was opened in March 2007.

However, there are many more reasons to visit the region.

To Bohemia in search of the Middle Ages
 
22/01/2012
Our era provides us with comfort and ease, which we would probably not swap for anything. But if you were really honest with yourself, who would not want to try out life in the Middle Ages, at least for a little while. Have a look how our ancestors lived, how they had fun and how they worked. How did they entertain themselves when they didn’t have any computers? How did they learn any news without the existence of television, radio and newspapers? Where did they get their food from if not from a supermarket? You will find the answer to all of these questions if you visit the medieval village of Řepora, which can be found between Stodůlky and Řeporyje. Although it is only a replica of a settlement in the 14th century, you need not worry about it being true to the period down to the very last detail.
