For me, Golden Street is an overrated monument and an example of how marketing works. Yes, cute little houses, yes, legends, but where is the wow-effect? Was once, the other does not pull.
Not every city can boast of two fortresses, around which it developed in different periods. In Prague, two dominants - Prague Castle and Visegrad. Visegrad, according to historians, originated in the tenth century, and then lost its role and became the focal point of Prague Castle.
When there is an overdose of architectural diversity and crowds of tourists, there is one place in the Little Country to regain strength - areas by the river where you can feed swans.
Mala Strana is one of my favorite districts of Prague (I can write these words about both Grač any and Ž iž kov). The Little Country gives you the opportunity to hide from the crowds of tourists and perhaps see the mysterious and real Prague.
St. Vitus Cathedral - the dominant of Prague Castle. He can not help but impress and leave indifferent. It can be considered indefinitely both outside and inside. Inside the cathedral was a long time ago, the first trip.
Petershin Hill is located on the Lesser Side. You can get to the hill on foot, if in physical shape, or in good shape and know the detours. The first is from the Strahov Monastery, the second is through the Kinsky Garden.
Prague Castle is one of the main attractions of Prague. There will be little day to see all his treasures in detail. Here are the Cathedral of St. Vitus, many museums, small and cozy gardens, Golden Street, a toy museum.
At the Camp, I always really want to break out of the crowd of people on Charles Bridge. What awaits at the Camp? Alleys, neat houses, museum, various installations and magnificent views of the Vltava and Prague.
In Cesky Krumlov got on his first trip abroad. These were Krakow and the Czech Republic. Krumlov impressed me more than Prague. Since then, I have been there twice more, and the charm does not pass.
Waldstein Garden - one of the sights of Prague, which attracts almost all tourists. The place is very beautiful - alleys, ponds, fountains, stalactites, peacocks, luxurious hydrangeas in summer.
The Wallachian court (or Italian) was originally (in the 13th century) just a fortress in a convenient place where silver was kept and coins were printed. A little later, coins are minted here.
The Botanical Garden of Prague is impressive - a huge area, a variety of landscapes, beautiful views of the castle of Troy. And the vineyards and distillery of St. Clary.
