belated mini guide to prague part 1


well it's a bit late but just for the pictures
Mini guide to prague. part 1.
My little guide to prague is not going to be the most helpful when going to prague but it is about a few places that I liked.
nr 1. the charles bridge. especially late at night or very early in the morning. it was started by karol IV. at present it joins two very interesting districts of prague, the old city with it’s many bars pubs and staromestkiej namesti (where you could watch the world cup) and mala strana, a beautiful older part of prague, unfortunatly infiltered with tourists and special prices made for them. The bridge is filled with musicians and little souvenir shops. if you’re as lucky as I was you might meet the politechnic students running across the bridge naked.
nr 2. mala strana was founded in 1257 by Otakar II. it was meant to be settled by german colonialists, but during the reign of karol IV the area started to develop and mala strana developed into an exclusive living quarter. right now it’s a magicle tangle of brock roads. the pubs, bars and jazz clubs have a specific charm that can not be found anywhere else.
