Экскурсии,еда,цены :)) Tours, food, prices :))

If you are thinking about a tourist vacation, do not hesitate, go to Prague! very beautiful, relatively inexpensive city. I myself am a student, so I will argue from an appropriate position on income and expenses : ) We took vouchers with excursions - 4 excursions were included - Sychrov Castle, Dresden (Germany), Old Prague, Prague Castle. I advise everyone to take such vouchers, because here it is much cheaper to buy these excursions in advance than in the Czech Republic from guides. We additionally paid only 1000 rubles for excursions. and there the same Dresden is 50 euros per person, all walking tours such as old Prague cost 10-15 euros. If you visit the Old Prague tour, do not buy exc. Mystical Prague, because these are absolutely identical excursions. We went to Karlovy Vary on our own, although you can also buy a tour, but it's much cheaper by yourself. Everything is very clear and accessible. You just get to the Florenc metro station and buy tickets to Karlovy Vary in the booths on the street, it’s better to go there and back right away. The cost is about 200 rubles for our money per person one way. For the tour you will give 50 euros per person. + entrance to buy a separate fee. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to drive. On the excursion, I myself saw how people are “driven” and don’t even have time to swim in the thermal spring, although if this is not done, then why go to Karlovy Vary. And we calmly managed everything, stayed longer than the excursion . buses, swam, sunbathed, walked, bought the famous waffles, had lunch. In general, do not be afraid to travel on your own. The same goes for Cesky Krumlov, Deep above the Vltava. In general, if you are interested in any question of how to get where to ask your guide, they will definitely tell you. All the information you need, maps of the metro, Prague, your hotel, how to get to Wenceslas Square, etc. they give on the transfer so do not fuss (like us! ) do not look for something in advance. I also really want to advise you to visit the zoo and the Trinity Castle there. This is the metro line C line and bus 112 (you need to cross the road as you get out of the metro) to go to the end. There is an excellent cafe "U Lisky" near the zoo (at the fox! ) Of course I it is especially sympathetic, but there they actually cook very tasty and cheaper than in the city. I also advise you to watch the show of singing (gooseberry) fountains. It costs 200 crowns for 1 person, performances in the evening from 20.00. It is also not far from the zoo, so you can combine it in one day. Metro too, but getting on tram 1.1 stop seems to be without crossing the road from the metro. There you will immediately see a large type of sports palace, in front of it is a square, go around this building and there will be a ticket office and fountains. In general, any resident will tell you if you ask where the Kryzhizhikov fountains are. Please note that Czechs practically do not speak English, and some do not know a single word in English. (even youth! ) so speak Russian or use a phrase book (like we do).
If it’s about food prices, then as I said, it’s not very expensive, in order to eat for two people to satiety in a good restaurant, you need about 600-650 crowns. The ratio (considered good) of the ruble and the crown is 1.5 to 1, that is, if the euro take, then in a good exchanger 1 euro = 24.4 crowns. to eat for every day for two you need about 1000 rubles. (this is at the end of August 2008) By the way, guides will tell you about exchangers, but in any case, know what is better to change in Arab exchangers and do not believe signs like 1 euro = 27 crowns. This is all a hoax. And even better, direct super-advice - take cards with money like a visa with you, it’s very convenient, ATMs are at every step and the rate is very good, almost 1 to 1. This is a big savings by the way : )
