On traces of gallant soldier Shvejka.
On the days off - to Prague.
AFTER peace transition of Czechia from socialism by capitalism in 1989
To year to the centres of world tourism one more city - Prague has increased.
Today here comes to so much people, and all year long, that hotels
More often not in a status to contain all interested persons. Among the Russian
Tourists Prague - a city very popular also because it is possible
To make travel lasting a weekend.
Certainly, days off in Prague it are more expensive, than to go in Peter on
Couple of days. However if is though the slightest possibility, it
It is necessary to use. For three days in Prague it is possible
To have a rest, be stirred up, see enough of beauty, eventually,
To get drunk beer, as for the whole holiday.
How to get.
To operate it is possible two ways. The first - to buy in the tourist
To firm group round. The shortest - five days, since Friday to
Tuesday. There is such round about 450 dollars, into it enters
Flight, hotel 3 stars (breakfast), excursions. There are permits and
More cheaply - from 350 dollars, but hotel two-stars and excursion,
As a rule, one. The second way - to travel independently. The ticket
To Prague there are 300 dollars "Aeroflot" and 350 - Czech
Airlines. Hotel of 3 stars in the centre - 30-40 dollars with
The person in day. But to lodge it is possible and in two-stars, further from
The centre, both in board, and on private apartment. That is it is possible
To be arranged and for 5 dollars a day. Inexpensive and original habitation
In boteljah. These are hotels on the courts standing on an anchor at quays
Vltava (such, except Prague, is not present anywhere), cabins quite decent, with
The restaurant and even discos is a shower. If you have gone to Prague
Independently, it is possible to save on one night: to arrive on Friday
In the morning and to return on Sunday evening (on Sundays and
To Tuesdays "Aeroflot" has evening flights). It is possible to save and
Further - to go by train, but keep in mind, that the train goes
36 hours, thus in a way it is necessary to communicate with the Ukrainian
Frontier guards.
After New year the trip to Prague will be more hlopotnoj and is more expensive
Dollars on 20. Czechia aspires to enter the European union, therefore
Enters a visa regime for citizens of some the countries, including Russia.
What to look.
More than thousand years talented architects and artists worked over
Shape of a city, from here a heap of absolutely different styles - from
Heavy Romance to a graceful modernist style. All old city -
It is a zone of protection of monuments, it has not suffered almost from two world
Wars. In 30th years it was forbidden to build high-rise buildings, therefore
All concrete boxes, generation of socialist architecture, have got off
To suburbs, and in the centre - a gothic style, baroque and a modernist style. One
Walking tour with the guide will be enough to bypass the cores
Historical places. In Prague set of beautiful houses, turn
Attention to the well-known Prague modernist style, its brightest sample -
The municipal house on the Republic area.
The main historical relic of a city - the Prague Hailstones. This
The serf ensemble was residence of emperors and kings. To get in
It it is possible through the Gradchansky area. The more close by Hailstones, the
More interestingly architecture of buildings, and in the Hailstones over small houses
In style of classicism the cathedral sacred Vita towers. Amazing
Beauty a huge building where are mixed a gothic style, the Renaissance and
Baroque.
One more picture from the Prague cards - Karlov the bridge. Besides,
What is it one of the most beautiful bridges of the world, it also the centre city
Lives. Earlier here there was a royal road, there passed horse tournaments
Also fairs were arranged. Now it simply centre of tourism, remains
Only to be surprised, how the bridge maintains till now the never-ending
Stream which does not thin even at night.
From the places deserving separate visiting, it is possible to name Old
The Jewish cemetery. Before here buried all Prague Jews, under
The most ancient gravestone ashes of poet Avigdoru the Penalty are based
(1439).
To look at Prague from height of the bird's flight is better with
Petrshina - a hill enamoured where it is easy to rise on a cable car.
What to drink, buy and that to be afraid.
In Czechia there is a wine, but the best wine in this country - beer.
Cheaply also it is improbably tasty. Pouring of beer is considered art,
Foam should be so dense that the pencil in a mug stood.
Beer restaurants set. The beer mug costs at restaurant nearby
Dollar, but at desire it is possible to find and for 0,3-0,5 dollars
Excellent beer. The supper at restaurant manages on the average at 15-18
Dollars. The first, that will advise to you, it is the well-known beer restaurant
"At Fleku". However, speak, recently he was ill "with the star
Illness "and quality of beer and service have worsened. It is possible
To glance and in beer "At the Bowl", mentioned in Gashek's novel about
Adventures of gallant soldier Shvejka.
As to purchases to begin it is necessary with bogemskogo crystal. In
Trading numbers of numerous glass factories is what to choose: from
Small vases for 4-10 dollars to huge chandeliers for some
Hundreds dollars. It is possible to pass to antiques, though here further
It is necessary to be cautious: can and deceive.
Recently, that Russian the opinion has affirmed as Prague not
Like. Partly in it our compatriots and inhabitants are guilty
The near abroad. Prague became a city where the criminal are flown down
Elements from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine. Well judge for yourself,
The inhabitant of Prague what relation can be to told to me
russkogovorjashchim, if all criminal messages on TV
Begin words: "Criminals spoke Russian..." It is frequent
The Russian tourists become victims of robbers-compatriots.
And occur it can even in the most brisk tourist
The centre. Be cautious, if to you have suddenly started talking on the native
Language, the requirement to give money further can follow. Local
The police not in a status to warn all crimes, and at times
Prefers not to interfere simply: let Russian understand
Among themselves. The Prague authorities hope, that with introduction of visas
It will be more difficult to criminals to get into Czechia.
ALLA DOBROVOLSKY.
