Saturday, 31/12/2005 year not knowing what to do at New Year we ran in different deals every day flock to the sites of last minute travel and generally favorable view of the proposals and we said why not, go away all by booking on the web!.
So we decided to Prague, the magical city, booking the flight and the hotel from the PC, but hopefully with some doubts about the success of the book ....
Departure from Bologna, in the company of our house, (the plane was ..) to Prague, with a stopover at Malpensa for the change of air early in the morning.
Arrival in the Czech capital, even with a small advance on tabella degli orari, accolti dalla neve abbondante dei giorni precedenti e con il sollievo di avercela fatta, dopo giorni di fiato sospeso causa la chiusura dell’aeroporto della capitale.
Il primo problema da risolvere era il trasferimento dall’aeroporto fino al nostro albergo, ma per fortuna oltre ai taxi esistono pulmini che per 480 corone cece (circa 16 euro) in quattro persone ci hanno portati di fronte all’albergo – prezzo stracciato.
Prendiamo possesso delle camere all’albergo Tchaikovsky – albergo da poco ristrutturato con camere ampie, salottino e bagno, molto carino e a due passi dal centro – ve lo consiglio.
Giretto in centro, Piazza San Venceslao (Vaclavské Namesti), Na Prikope (The Moat) shopping street, Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Mala Strana, just to patrol the area and estimate distances to main attractions.
But we are on the evening of December 31 and then had to find a local restaurant where the evening, we came walking in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Italian Embassy Ujezd.
Here we booked into a room (restaurant - pub-brewery) recommended by friends, where we spent a lovely evening, local musicians, fun and local food not exceptional, but we had a great time, not because we were late in the morning we did not stop for a moment.
Some useful data and information: Prague
approximately 1,200,000 inhabitants, repubblica Ceca divisa dalla Repubblica Slovacchia dal 1992, non necessita di passaporto, ma basta la carta d’Identità valida per l’espatrio.
Il cambio è circa €. 1,00 = 28,98 corone ceche Czk (un litro di benzina poco più di 27 Czk) - attenzione agli uffici di cambio – guardare sempre il cambio più basso perché sarà quello che applicano; non fatevi fregare dalle offerte giornaliere sono truffe.
La metro è molto comoda e sia le stazioni che le carrozze sono state ristrutturate, ma se avete l’albergo vicino al centro non servirà a molto. Ci sono due tipi di biglietti:
Il primo del costo di 14 Czk il cosiddetto di corsa semplice o corsa brevee può essere usato una once on a single means of transport and does not allow transfers. The ticket is valid for 20 minutes from validation on trams and buses for four subway stations, allowing transfers between stations for up to 30 minutes. This ticket is not valid on night buses and trams and on the Petrin funicular. The second
the cost of CZK 20 of the so-called long run, or transfer this ticket can be used on any public transportation and allows transfers between different lines (including underground lines, tram to tram, etc..) And different means (by subway a tram, tram to bus, etc.).. The ticket is valid for 75 minutes of validation (90 minutes on weekends and holidays and from 20.00 am to 5.00 am on weekdays).
There are also subscriptions, which should be selected on the spot. Sunday, 01/01/2006
Alarm calmly stroll downtown on Wenceslas Square, to visit the "remnants" of the market of that - very nice - we climbed the clock tower (the old town hall Staromestka Radnice) there you enter from the side, in the afternoon we went to the Jewish Quarter Josefov that given the late hour (it was about 17) was about to close, we only had time to visit the Museum and the cemetery (attraction so to speak) the place with many stems crooked shadow of the Golem appeared to spy on us from behind a tree, che d’inverno con poca luce proiettano ombre inquietanti.
Cena in un ristorantino tipico.
Impressioni:
Io a Praga ci sono stato più di dieci anni fa e per ben tre volte. Rispetto ad allora, la città è un po’ cambiata, il turismo la fa da padrone e molti locali e negozi sono di proprietà di multinazionali straniere, inoltre ci sono molti ristoranti italiani.
Praga ha perso parte del suo fascino ma rimane sempre una città bellissima.
Lunedì 2/1/2006
Visita dello splendido castello Hrad che domina l’intera città, con il vicolo d’oro (dove visse anche Kafka al n.22 dal 1916 al 1917), l’imponente Cattedrale di S. Vito, la Basilica di St. George, the Royal Palace and the courts immersed in one another, make a castle town in the City.
The descent towards the center of the city, following the King's road traveled by the Bohemian King, in an atmosphere of another era, leads us to the Charles Bridge and from here we reach a ladder through the Kampa Island, on which rest four side of the bridge pylons in the Mala Strana.
The islet is cute, full of windmills and "seamen" for very little money that they make you do the full tour.
Dinner at a traditional restaurant. Tuesday, 01/03/2006
trip to Prague you can do many interesting excursions.
We chose the one that leads to the Castle Karlstejn (Charles Stone), located about 30 km southwest of Prague. The medieval castle was founded and built by Emperor Charles IV between 1348 and 1355. He was assigned to guard the Bohemian crown jewels, important documents of the Holy Roman Empire and various relics. The castle is fabulous for its location, close to the river Berounka turnout among thick forests is located on a hill (which you can walk with a slight uphill) through a village teeming with restaurants and shops. Return to the city for 14.
In the afternoon we climbed the Petrin hill with a funicular to enjoy the excellent view of the city and especially to visit the Tower Belvedere in ferro (60m), costruita in occasione dell’esposizione del 1891, ad imitazione della Tour Eiffel, e un finto Castello Medievale, ma delusione sono aperti al sabato e alla domenica dalle 10 alle 17.
Cena in un ristorantino tipico.
Consiglio
Immergetevi senza paura nelle viuzze centrali della città (meglio se in compagnia), che rievocano tutta la magia dei racconti claustrofobici di Kafka (come la metamorfosi ) ed entrate in uno dei tanti ristorantini, (non sulle vie principali, pieni di pubblicità ed entrate ben curate; quelli sono per i turisti) ma in quelli che non ci dareste un euro, sono i migliori sia come tradizionalità che come prezzo. In media si spendono circa 8 – 10 € head, but you eat a well-seasoned dish such as goulash, which is very good.
last day Wednesday, 04/01/2006 For the last day, we wanted to visit the villa of Troy (Zamek Troja1679-1685) to the north of the city, amongst vineyards surrounded by countryside in time source on the right bank of the Vltava ( the river of the city) next to the zoo. Splendid baroque mansion in imitation of a Roman villa, with its large park and a monumental staircase with a fountain in the hall.
Although this visit was not successful because it is open to the public only on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 17.
Afternoon for shopping and souvenirs.
Dinner at a restaurant typical.
Well here ends my story and all our wonderful trip, the first New Year spent in a European capital, I conclude by advising all to see Prague and maybe come back.
forgot to finish the total cost, the package has been purchased from the Internet in 2005, included flight and hotel with breakfast, we spent about 350 euro each.
