I particularly liked the massive lorry which had the world destinations on, and the president's car.

Advantages: Great Museum Disadvantages: Wrong Country.. Czech Republic

This is located in the NE of the Czech Republic. If you go, you ... ...part of the world. It is the home to the Star brewery, and is very pedestrian friendly. Another town that that is worthy of a visit is Bratislava - which IS in Slovakia. Ostrava, CZ is friendly, but pretty much not a tourist destination. Ostrava has more tourist information booths per tourist than any place else in the known universe....
Have fun - Central Europe is a great place, and you cannot go wrong. ...
