Prague Experience

The Tram Cafe

Advantages: Unique, cheap, excellent location
Disadvantages: None

Whilst on holiday in Prague myself and my girlfriend were wondering back to our apartment after a day of sight seeing and we came across the Tram Café in Wenceslas Square. We decided to pop in for a quick drink and warm ourselves up. The Tram Café. The Tram Café is situated in the far end of Wenceslas Square in the City of Prague. Wenceslas Square is one of the major tourist attractions in Prague and is marked on every map so finding this unusual ...
...it by accident on our walk home. The Trams which make up the Tram Café were are trams that were once in use within the City of Prague. Tram number 11 used to operate at the Vaclavska Square from the beginning of the 20th century up until 1974. The motor tram car number 2077 was made in 1927 in Prague and was first used within the City. Later, it was given to the Public Transport Museum. In 2000, it was brought back to Prague and was carefully renovated. ...

Review of Cafe Tramvaj 11, Prague, Czech Republic

The most beautiful city in Europe

Advantages: Lots to see and beautiful place
Disadvantages: NA

...using the Euro until 2020. Things are pretty cheap in Prague-well a good excuse for me to go back. I only paid less than 1 pound/1euro for a pint of the famous local beer, Pilsner Urquell. Prague is THE place for beer-why? This is because the Czech is the nation with the largest beer annual consumption, followed by the Irish(second place) and the Germans(third place). Surprised isn’t it? After a few pints of beer, we headed back to the hotel. Berlin/Prague/Vienna ...
...walking tour with the local guide. Our first stop was the Prague castle. It is located in the hilltop area of Hradcany overlooking the River and is the official residence of the President of Czech Republic. We visited the St Vitus Catheral.It is one of the landmarks of Prague and was built in 1344 but more work or decoration was added to it during the course of history. Therefore, inside the church, you can see a variety of styles, gothic, renaissance ...

Review of The "REAL" Czech nightlife!

Negotiating Prague: safely,cheaply & confidently

Advantages: Amazingly efficient, simple & easy to use & incredibly cheap public transport
Disadvantages: Taxis can be a rip off, hearing the name of your tram stop & actually recognising it can take a bit of practice!

...then you start straight away getting the bus from the aiprort to the centre. Inside the arrivals hall (Terminal 1 for uk flights) on the right hand side of the exit are some kiosks. Get your transport system tickets here (combined cover for bus, tram & metro on multi trip / multi day tickets) - and pick up a free map of the tram & metro systems while you are at it . You'll definately need this - stops are usually announced on bus, tram & metro but ...
...means nothing! so the map is very usefully for counting stops etc! Tickets range from single trip (really cant see the point of that) to multi-day passes. We got a 7 day pass for 280Kr, about £7 - a 3 day pass was 200Kr (£5). To get into the centre you need the 119 bus (you can get a taxi or the airport express both of which are dearer & believe me the bus is simple). Go out of the arrivals hall & just across the road infront of you are the bus ...

Review of Getting around in Prague

Barleylands Farmers Market

Advantages: One of the few farmers markets in this area which is open on a Saturday, good parking
Disadvantages: price, not enough stalls

...to a couple of farmers markets and by no means an I an expert, but I found this one a little disappointing. Now farmers markets are what they say... markets held by/for farmers to sell their produce directly to the public. You also get thrown in for good measure producers of various other food stuffs including bread, pies and various other organic and home produced products. All in all the location is extremely good. They have a large barn which ...
...nice trip out, but all in all I've been to far better farmers markets with a greater selection and far better value for money.... I'm all for supporting our farmers but I take exception at being ripped off. Go along, have a look and hopefully have a nice day. ...
