1 PRAGUE At the geographical heart of Europe, Prague’s beautiful cityscape has been carved and sustained by a variety of emperors, artists and religious communities, from the Gothic exuberance of its castle and cathedral, to the dignity of the medieval Jewish Cemetery, and the 19th-century opulence of the “new” town. Under Communist rule, Prague was off the tourist map, but since 1989 the city has seen a surge of visitors eager to take in this spectacular city.
PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE
Getting to Prague Air 1 By More than 40 international airlines fly to Prague’s
Czech immigration officials may request you to be carrying at least K•1,100 per day for your visit (or have a valid credit card).
Ruzyn• airport. The national carrier Czech Airlines (•SA) is a member of the Sky Team alliance, whose members include Delta, Air France and Alitalia. Direct flights from London are about 1.5 hours; from New York, about 9 hours.
When to Go While there’s no bad time to visit, Prague, like most European capitals, is teeming with tourists during the summer months. Off-season rates for hotels are usually in effect from September to March; check when making your booking. Winter is cold but beautiful under snow.
➤ •SA: 239 007007 • www.csa.cz Ruzyn• Airport Located 15 km (9 miles) northwest of the city centre, Ruzyn• is Prague’s only international airport. Until 1989, a cheery, red neon hammer-and-sickle greeted visitors landing here. There are all the modern facilities here now, though, including car rental offices, bureaux de change, shops and restaurants. Municipal buses serve the airport, as does a reputable private transport service, but their cars charge more than taxis do.

9
Stays 10 Long If you choose to stay longer than 90 days, you’ll need to apply for a long-term visa, valid for a year. For this, you’ll need proof of employment, health insurance and housing as well as a clean criminal record. This visa can be renewed annually for eight years, after which you can apply for permanent residency.
By Train Prague is on major European rail routes; the Orient Express’s London–Paris–Venice route passes through town. International trains to the Czech capital are comfortable, with couchette sleeping facilities, and fast excepting delays at the border, and a cheap alternative to flying if you have time.
3
By Coach Coaches are your best bet for long journeys on a budget. But these buses are often crowded and uncomfortable. Two metros and several trams stop at Prague’s main bus terminal Florenc.
4
By Car If you’re going to be driving in the Czech Republic for more than 30 days, you’ll need an international driver’s licence. If you bring your own car, you must carry a vehicle registration card and a red warning triangle, and display a national identification sticker. A major motor-way connects Prague to the Slovak capital of Bratislava; otherwise, it’s all A and B roads.
5
Customs Visitors from outside the EU can bring goods worth less than 175 euros (about K•5,000) into the country without paying a duty. Two litres or less of wine, one litre of spirits and 200 cigarettes (or their equivalent in tobacco) can also be brought in duty-free.
6
Discount Deals Travellers from London should check with Go, a low-cost airline with return tickets to Prague at very reasonable prices. If you can be flexible about when you travel, look for stand-by tickets from Airhitch.

PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE
Prague Castle Crowned by the distinct spires of St Vitus’s Cathedral, Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad ) is the metaphorical and historical throne of the Czech lands. Prince Bo•ivoj built a wooden fortress here in the late 9th century, establishing the hilltop overlooking the river as the P•emyslid’s dynastic seat. The castle later became the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. Much of the castle was rebuilt in the 16th century, resulting in the glorious Renaissance edifice seen today. Today it is home to the President of the Czech Republic. For more sights around Hrad•any (see Prague Castle and Hrad•any)
Top 10 Features Old Royal Palace While Prince Bo•ivoj made do with a wooden structure, subsequent residences were built on top of each other as the tastes of Bohemia’s rulers changed (see Features of the Royal Palace). Halls are decorated with coats of arms.
1
Gardens on the Ramparts Ferdinand I and his son Maximilian II gave the dour castle some greenery in the late 16th century, and the First Republic architect Josip Ple•nik created the lined paths, steps and grottoes that extend to Malá Strana.
2
Summer Gardens Ferdinand I also created these “pleasure gardens” for his wife Anne. Italian in style, they included a maze, a zoo, and the Belvedere.
3
Battling Titans These stone giants have dominated the First Courtyard since Empress Maria Theresa asked Ignatz Platzer to sculpt them in the 18th century.
4 5
St George’s Convent
traveldk.com
Princess Mlada established the first Czech convent here in the 10th century. The Romanesque building now houses artworks from the National Gallery. St George’s Basilica Prince Vratislav built the basilica in AD 921. The chapel of St Wenceslas’s grandmother, St Ludmila, is decorated with beautiful 16th-century paintings.
6
White Tower The White Tower contains a torture chamber and, today, shops selling grisly souvenirs. The gangways from which archers once watched over the moat are lined with replicas of weapons.
7
Powder Tower This was Rudolf II’s top research facility, where alchemists sought the Philosopher’s Stone. Oddly, the Czech name “mihulka ” implies a place where lampreys are kept.
8
Golden Lane The colourful hovels built into the castle wall were home to goldsmiths so they could avoid guild dues in town.

10 Daliborka
5
PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE
Dalibor, something of a Czech Robin Hood, was captured and became the first prisoner of the tower that now takes his name.
Features of the Royal Palace Vladislav Hall Benedict Ried created a mastery of Gothic design with his elaborate vaulting here. Since the First Republic, the country’s presidents have been ceremoniously chosen here, but it has also been used for coronations and jousting tournaments.
1
Riders’ Staircase The low steps and vaulted ceiling of this stairway permitted mounted knights to make spectacular entrances to tournaments held in Vladislav Hall.
2
Louis Wing Only 10 years and a few steps separate the southern wing from the main hall, but in the interim, Benedict Ried moved castle architecture from Gothic to Renaissance. Bohemian nobles met here in an administrative body when the king was away.
3
Bohemian Chancellery The first battle of the Thirty Years’ War was staged here. Protestant noblemen threw two Catholic governors and their secretary from the east window. Their fall was broken by a dung heap – or an intervening angel, depending on whom you ask.
4
Land Rolls The coats of arms decorating the walls belong to clerks who kept tabs on property ownership and court decisions from 1614 to 1777. Until the reign of Maria Theresa, record books were not numbered, but identified by elaborate covers.
5
Diet Bohemian nobles met here with the king in a prototype parliament. The king sat on the throne (the one seen today is a 19th-century replica), the archbishop sat to the king’s right, while the estates sat on his left. The portraits on the wall show, from the left, Maria Theresa, her husband Franz, Josef II, Leopold II and Franz I, who fought Napoleon at Austerlitz.
6
Gothic and Romanesque Cellars These rooms became buried as a result of subsequent construction overhead. A replica of the crown jewels is on display; the real thing was kept here during World War II.
9
from Peter Parlé•’s Workshop 10 Busts These impressive portraits were created in the late 14th century and include the grandfather-father-grandson set of John of Luxembourg, Charles IV and Wenceslas IV.

PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE
St Vitus’s Cathedral This spectacular Gothic cathedral is an unmissable sight in Prague, not least because of its dominant position on Hrad•any hill, looming over the Vltava and the rest of the city. Prince Wenceslas first built a rotunda here upon a pagan worship site and dedicated it to St Vitus (svatý Vít ), a Roman saint. Matthew d’Arras began work on the grand cathedral in 1344 when Prague was named an archbishopric. He died shortly thereafter and Charles IV hired the Swabian wunderkind Peter Parlé• to take over. With the intervention of the Hussite Wars, however, work stopped and, remarkably, construction was only finally completed in 1929. More on Places of Worship in Prague
Sigismund The 16-tonne bell of the Great Tower, affectionately known as Sigismund, is the nation’s largest and dates from 1549. It takes four volunteers to ring the bell on important church holidays and events.
8
Top 10 Features South Tower Visitors can clearly see at exactly which point the Hussite civil wars put a stop to construction of this 96-m (315-ft) tower. By the time work resumed, architectural style had moved into the Renaissance, hence the incongruous rounded cap on a Gothic base.
1
Wenceslas Chapel This chapel stands where Prince Wenceslas built the first St Vitus rotunda and contains the tomb of its namesake, Bohemia’s patron saint. The frescoes of Christ’s Passion on the lower wall are surrounded by 1,300 semi-precious stones. Vladislav II commissioned the upper frescoes of St Wenceslas’s life, painted to celebrate his son Ludvik’s coronation.
2
Crown Jewels You would think there would be safer places for the crown and sceptre of Bohemia, but the coronation chamber above Wenceslas Chapel is said to be guarded by the spirit of the saint.
3
Royal Crypt The greatest kings of Bohemia are buried in a single room beneath the cathedral, including Charles IV, Wenceslas IV and Rudolf II.
4
Golden Portal This triple-arched arcade was the main entrance to the cathedral until the western end was completed in the 20th century.
9
Altar 10 High Bounded by St Vitus’s Chapel and the marble sarcophagi of Ferdinand I and family, the high altar and chancel follow a strict Neo-Gothic philosophy.
Royal Oratory The royal family crossed a narrow bridge from the Royal Palace (see Old Royal Palace) to this private gallery to hear mass. The coats of arms represent all the countries that were ruled by Vladislav II.
5
St John of Nepomuk’s Tomb The silver for this 1,680-kg (3,700-lb) coffin came from the Bohemian mining town of Kutná Hora, symbolized by the statues of miners to the left of the tomb.
6
New Archbishop’s Chapel Alfons Mucha created the Art Nouveau window of the Slavic saints for the Archbishop’s Chapel. Despite appearances, the glass is painted, not stained.

PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE
Old Town Square As the heart and soul of the city, no visitor should, or is likely to miss the Old Town Square (Starom•stské nám•stí ). A marketplace was located here in the 11th century, but it was in 1338, when John of Luxembourg gave Prague’s burghers permission to form a town council, that the Old Town Hall was built (see Old Town Hall Features) and the square came into its own. Today, it has a lively atmosphere, with café tables set out in front of painted façades, horses and carts waiting to ferry tourists around the city and street-sellers hawking their wares.
Golz-Kinský Palace Once occupied by Communists, this former palace now houses the National Gallery’s collection of prints and drawings and an up-market restaurant.
9
Top 10 Features D•m u Minuty The “House at the Minutes” probably takes its name from the notso-minute sgraffito images on its walls. The alchemical symbols adorning Starom•stské nám•stí 2 date from 1611. Franz Kafka lived in the black-and-white house as a boy (see Franz Kafka).
1
nám•stí 10 Malé The ornate well in the centre of the “Small Square” doubles as a plague memorial. The elaborate murals of craftsmen on the façade of Rott House are the only decoration now left. Until the early 1990s, the building was a hardware store.
House at the Stone Bell Formerly done up in Baroque style, workers discovered the Gothic façade of this house as late as 1980. On the southwestern corner is the the bell which gives the house its name. The Municipal Gallery often hosts temporary exhibitions here.
2
Church of Our Lady Before Týn This Gothic edifice began as a humble church serving residents in the mercantile town (týn ) in the 14th century. Following architectural conventions of the time, the south tower is stouter than the north one.
3
Church of St Nicholas Prague has two Baroque churches of St Nicholas, both built by Kilian Ignac Dientzenhoffer. The architect completed the one in Old Town two years before starting Malá Strana’s (see St Nicholas’s Church). Regular concerts here give visitors a chance to hear the church’s organ.
4
Jan Hus Memorial Hus was burned at the stake in 1415 for proposing radical Church reform. The inscription below the figure of Hus reads “Truth Will Prevail”.
5
Marian Column On Czechoslovakia’s declaration of independence in 1918, this former column reminded jubilant mobs of Habsburg rule and they tore it down. A plan is afoot to rebuild it.
6
Ungelt The courtyard behind Týn church was home to foreign merchants in the 14th century, but today it is home to smart boutiques and cafés.

Old Town Hall Features Astronomical Clock During the day, on the hour, bells ring, cocks crow and 15th-century statues dance while the necks of tourists below stiffen.
1
Apostles Marionette artist Vojt•ch Sucharda sculpted the 12 wooden figures that turn out for the crowds on the astronomical clock – they replace the ones destroyed by German artillery in 1945. A brochure identifies which saint is which.
2
Art Gallery On the Old Town Hall’s ground floor is an exhibition space which features temporary shows.
3
Dukla Memorial Behind a brass plaque identified by the year “1945” is a pot of soil from the Dukla battlefield. German artillery gunned down 84,000 Red Army soldiers in this Slovak pass in one of the most grievous military miscalculations of World War II.
4
Štorch House An Art Nouveau equestrian painting of St Wenceslas is the focal point of the house at Starom•stské nám•stí 18.

White Mountain Memorial Twenty-seven crosses are set in the pavement on the town hall’s eastern side in memory of the Bohemian nobles who were executed for their role in the Thirty Years’ War (see Battle of White Mountain). After Protestant forces were defeated at the Battle of White Mountain, the men were hanged, beheaded or drawn and quartered here in a public ceremony.
5
Gothic Chapel The small chapel adjoining the Mayors’ Hall was consecrated in 1381 in honour of the saints Wenceslas, Vitus and Ludmila. Wenceslas IV’s emblem and his wife Eufemia’s initial adorn the entrance portal. In the nave is a scale model of the Marian column which stood on the Old Town Square until 1918 and may be rebuilt (see Marian Column).
6
Elevator The elevator taking visitors up to the viewing gallery of the tower won an award for best design in 1999. Oddly enough, its space-age design works harmoniously within the stony surroundings. It also permits wheelchair access to the top of the tower – a rare consideration in Prague.
7
Viewing Gallery The parapet under the Old Town Hall’s roof affords visitors a unique view of the square and the Old Town below. Bring your pocket change: K•20 will buy you two minutes on a miniature telescope, with which you can admire the entire Prague Valley.

Top tips • The cheapest beer on the square, aside from that in plastic cups, is at U Mravence, U Radnice 20, north of the Old Town Hall. • Resist the temptation to climb on the Jan Hus Monument. Doing so, or trampling the flowers will earn you a fine, as well as embarrassment.

PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE
Jan Hus The rector of Prague (later Charles) University, Jan Hus was dedicated to fighting against corruption in the Church. He was declared a heretic by the Church, and was summoned to Germany where he was burned at the stake. Czech resentment turned into civil war, with Hussite rebels facing the power of Rome. But the Hussites split into moderate and radical factions, the former defeating the latter in 1434. Hus is still a national figure – 6th July, the day he was killed, is a public holiday.

The Loreto At the heart of this sparkling 17th-century Baroque pilgrimage site is its claim to fame and most proud possession: a replica of the original Santa Casa in Loreto, Italy, believed to be the house where the Virgin Mary received the Incarnation. Construction of the grandiose church and the surrounding chapels coincided with the Counter Reformation, and one of Prague’s first Baroque buildings was intended to lure Czechs back to the Catholic faith.
Altars of SS Felicissimus and Marcia On either side of the altar in the Church of the Nativity are large reliquary displays containing the remains of these two Spanish saints.

Church of the Nativity Originally a small alcove behind the Santa Casa, the church was expanded into its present size in 1717. The Rococo organ stands opposite the altar, over a crypt to Loreto benefactors.

Santa Casa The Santa Casa was the Nazareth house in which the archangel Gabriel is believed to have announced to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive the Son of God. In the 13th century, the Greek Angeli family moved the house to Loreto, Italy. As the Marian cult spread, copies of the Loreto started emerging all over Europe – the Prague site is believed to be the truest representation of the original.

Old Jewish Cemetery The crumbling image of the Old Jewish Cemetery is a moving memorial to Prague’s once considerable Jewish community. As this was one of the few burial sites available to Prague’s Jews, when the plot was full, graves built up in layers – estimates put the number at about 200,000, with the oldest head-stone dating from 1439. The final burial took place in 1787, but stroll through the enclosure and you’ll get a sense of noble lives once lived. husband, mayor Jacob Bashevi, was knighted and permitted a coat of arms, seen on his wife’s gravestone.

As a rule, a Hebrew tombstone (matzevah ) contains the deceased’s name, date of death and eulogy. In addition to these basics, the grave-markers in the Old Jewish Cemetery often included symbolic images indicating the deceased’s lineage. Names are often symbolized by animals, according to Biblical precedent or Hebrew or Germanic translations – David Gans’s tombstone features a goose (gans in German). Some professions are also represented: scissors may appear on a tailor’s tombstone, for example.

National Gallery Surrounded by the decorative Art Nouveau buildings of Holešovice, the austere Veletržní Palace is a daring work of art in itself. It was the first official Functionalist building in Europe, and even Le Corbusier was impressed by the eight-storey edifice when he visited Prague in 1928. After years as a trade fair complex, plans to turn the building into the home of the National Gallery’s modern art collection were launched in 1979. Alongside prominent Czech contributions to modern art is a rich array of international masters from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. For details of other National Gallery sites in Prague (see Museums and Galleries)

Only the existing Veletržní Palace was completed; other planned buildings never materialized due to a lack of funding. Veletržní Palace opened in 1928 on the Republic’s 10th anniversary. It was badly damaged by fire in 1974 and reopened to the public in 1995.

St Agnes’s Convent The 13th-century Convent of St Agnes of Bohemia (Klášter sv. Anežky ) is an impressive Gothic building, closely tied to Czech statehood. Daughter of P•emysl Otakar I, Princess Agnes chose a spiritual life and founded a convent here in 1234 for the Poor Clares, an order of nuns associated with the Order of St Francis. But it was Agnes’s diplomatic skills and work in establishing the convent which raised Bohemia in the eyes of Rome, as much as any courtly efforts to do the same. Restored in the 1960s to its original splendour, the convent is now used by the National Gallery to exhibit its collection of medieval and early Renaissance art.
T•ebo• Altarpiece Only three of the five double-sided panels of the 14th-century T•ebon Altar-piece have survived to the present day.

Zbraslav Madonna Bohemia’s most celebrated Marian painting is evocative of Byzantine icons in its style. The ring on the Madonna’s left-hand finger symbolizes the Church through the mystical marriage between Christ and the Virgin Mary. The work has been moved to St Agnes’s Convent from a Cistercian monastery where the majority of the P•emyslid kings were laid to rest.

St Agnes St Agnes of Bohemia was a powerful figure in medieval politics. Pope Gregory IX granted special privileges to her convent and his successor Innocent IV sent priceless relics to be housed there. Agnes died in 1282, but her influence on Czech state-hood was felt centuries later when, in 1989, Pope John Paul II canonized her; five days later, the Velvet Revolution began.

Wenceslas Square This former medieval horse market began to be redeveloped in the 19th century, fast becoming the commercial hub of Prague – in 1848 it was renamed Wenceslas Square, in honour of Bohemia’s patron saint. The majority of the buildings seen today date from the early 20th century, and their beautiful Art Nouveau façades illustrate the embracing of this style by Czech architects of the time. Often the scene of historic events, the most recent was in 1989, when crowds gathered to celebrate the end of Communism (see Velvet Revolution).
Hotel Evropa It’s gone to seed over the years, but the Art Nouveau building at No. 25 preserves its original façade and some original decor.

Top 10 Sights National Museum Invading Warsaw Pact troops shelled the Neo-Renaissance building in 1968, assuming it was the Czechoslovak Parliament. The small entry fee is worth it, if only to see the museum’s marble stairway and pantheon of Czech cultural figures (see National Museum).

St Wenceslas Statue The P•emyslid prince sits astride a horse flanked by other Czech patrons in Josef Myslbek’s 1912 sculpture. The area “under the tail” is a traditional meeting place.
2
Svobodné slovo Balcony During the Velvet Revolution, Václav Havel addressed pro-democracy demonstrators from the balcony of the Svobodné slovo newspaper building. When the deposed Alexander Dub•ek joined him, the crowds knew that Communism was over.
7
Franciscan Gardens A stone’s throw from the bustle of Wenceslas Square, these former monastery gardens provide much-needed peace from downtown.

Church of Our Lady of the Snows Founded by Charles IV upon his coronation in 1347, this lovely church was to have been more than 100 m (330 ft) long, but it was never completed.
9
Communist Memorial In front of St Wenceslas is a memorial to the victims of Communism, such as two men who died in protest against the Warsaw Pact invasion in 1968.

Historic Demonstrations Wenceslas Square saw its first demonstration in 1419 when Catholic reformer Jan Želivský led a procession to St Stephen’s Church. On 28 October 1918 the area witnessed Czechoslovak independence. In 1969, Jan Palach set himself on fire here to protest against the Soviet occupation. It is still the scene of protests and victories today.

Pet•ín Hill Covered with forests, orchards and strolling lovers, Pet•ín Hill creates a soft counterpoint to the spires of Hrad•any on the Vltava’s left bank. Rising more than 300 m (1,000 ft) above sea level, the area began life as a vineyard in the 15th century, but has been a public park since 1825. Early chronicles say it was the site of pagan rituals to the god Perun, and believers still practise ancient rites here on 1 May each year. Above all, however, it is the perfect escape when the city crowds become too much to bear. More on Parks and Gardens in Prague

Strahov Monastery Exhibits Since its founding in the 12th century, Strahov Monastery has suffered fires, pillaging armies and totalitarian regimes. Josef II dissolved most local monasteries in 1783, but spared Strahov on the condition that the monks conduct research at their library. The majority of the research at the National Literature Museum today involves preserving the paper from being devoured by acidity. Other, older books are on display in the Theological and Philosophical Halls. Visitors can see ornate gospels and miniature Bibles here.
Getting Around Prague 1 Metro Prague’s underground transit system is fast, efficient and, with a little practice, easy to navigate. There are three lines, known as A, B and C; or more commonly, red, yellow and green. Validate your ticket, available from
traveldk.com
Taxis Prague’s taxis have received a lot of bad press (see Unscrupulous Taxi Drivers), but most firms are now reliable. Phone a central despatcher in advance – your hotel will be able to give you a number – to be assured of safety and a fair price. If the car doesn’t have a lighted sign with the word “taxi” written on it, don’t get in. And make sure the meter’s running. Generally, avoid taxis that line up outside the major tourist sights.
4
Driving Prague’s city centre was not designed for the volume of traffic it sees nowadays. The streets are narrow and winding and parking is very scarce. If you must drive, keep to the right, wear a seatbelt, and be aware that traffic violations are payable on the spot. Illegally parked cars are regularly clamped or towed away by viligant traffic wardens.
5
On Foot Walking is the only way to see much of the city. The centre is only about 4 km (2.5 miles) from end to end and many of the historic sights, such as Prague Castle and the Old Town Square are in pedestrianized zones. Make sure you wear comfortable, flat-soled shoes, watch your step on the cobblestones, and look out for trams that drive in the centre of the road in both directions.
6
River Boats A river cruise along the Vltava can offer a relaxing and romantic afternoon of sightseeing that’s easy on weary feet. Tour boats depart from •ech•v and Palackého bridges. You can also rent rowing boats near Charles Bridge.
7
Horse and Carriage Horse and carriages line Old Town Square and take tourists for short rides through the surrounding streets. This can make a pleasant (and romantic) after-dinner diversion. Surprisingly, the horses don’t seem to mind the crowds and auto traffic.
8
Cycling While Prague has numerous bicycle routes, cyclists do not have their own lanes on the streets and must share the road with cars, which can prove hazardous. The cobblestones can also be hard going. Some services

prices for numerous hotels; you can check their availability at www.accomgroup.com. Bargain Districts Exploring accommodation options outside the city centre can save you a considerable amount on your hotel bills. The neighbourhoods of Žižkov, Karlín, Smíchov and Holešovice, for example, all have good connections to the centre (see Old Town Square) and an increasing number of good quality hotels.
2
a Flat 10 Finding Many real estate companies offer sublets, long-term and month-to-month rentals. For a fee, usually the value of one month’s rent, they can find you a home and help you with the necessary paperwork. If you want to go it on your own, check bulletin boards at The Globe Bookstore and Coffeehouse.
Annonce If you’re staying a bit longer than the average tourist and want to save money on long-term accommodation, check the daily classified advertisement publication Annonce . Almost all the ads are in Czech, but if you can find someone to translate, you’ll find extremely affordable rooms and apartments for rent, both on short-and long-term agreements. It is available from most newsagents.
3
Hotel Standards If you recognize the name of your hotel (such as a chain hotel), you’ll recognize the quality of the services and amenities; otherwise, be prepared for surprises. Not all hotel rooms have en suite bathrooms, for example, or plush bath towels. If such items are important to you, enquire before you book.
4
Things to Avoid If you’ve failed to book a room in advance, go directly to a local travel agent or hotel. Do not accept accommodation from touts at the airport, train station or bus depot. Even if they’re not out to rob you, you have no guarantee as to the quality of the rooms.
5
Parking Smaller hotels may not have reserved parking spaces for guests. If so, ask the management about the safest places to park. Never leave valuables in your car and make sure you’re parked in a legal space; being towed or clamped can ruin precious holiday time.
6
Pets Prague is a very pet-friendly city – good news for animal-owners and bad news for allergy sufferers. When you book, check whether you can bring pets; if you fear the fur, ask for assurances that your room hasn’t been doubling up as a kennel recently.
7
Security Whatever the destination, it almost goes without saying that tourists should use common sense when it comes to travelling with valuables – if possible, leave anything you wouldn’t want to lose at home. In the better hotels, keep items such as passports and jewel-lery in the hotel safe. Be aware that even the best hotels can be targets of streetside scams.
8
Short-term Apartment Rentals If you’re staying a week or longer, you may want to skip the hotels entirely and rent a small flat. The Prague Information Service, state travel agency •edok and numerous other local agencies can help you find a short-term rental (see Sources of Information).

Café Belaria
Ordering Except for the grander eateries, many Prague restaurants have yet to grasp multiple-course service. Emphasize that you want your appetizer (jako pšedkrm ) before your main course. You will probably also have to order your side dish à la carte . Your steak will be well-done unless you plead otherwise.
2
Paying Verify the restaurant takes credit cards before you order. Restaurants seldom accept travellers’ cheques. Tell your waiter you’d like to pay with one word: zaplatím . You and your party may pay dohromady (all together) or zvlášt (separately).
3
Tipping While tipping in Prague is approaching the international standard of 15 per cent, it is still common in pubs to simply round up the bill. If your beer and schnitzel cost K•82, for example, pay K•90. Rather than leaving the tip on the table, tell your waiter how much you want to give.
4
Making Reservations Reserving a table is never a bad idea and can save you a great deal of hungry wandering come dinner time. In many restaurants, it’s common for lone diners to join other tables. If you’re alone and want to know if a seat is free, point at it and ask “Je tu volno ?”
5
Smoking Prague restaurants are seldom non-smoking. A local ordinance bans smoking at lunch time, but it is seldom, if ever, enforced. For a smoke-free meal, try the vegetarian restaurants Country Life and Little Buddha.

Grab a bag of rugalach , brownies or other mouth-watering treats for on-the-go nourishment, or lunch on an egg-salad sandwich and coffee. Salads and quiches also to take away.

Antique Kaprova This serious collector’s shop specializes in prints and small decorative items such as clocks and lamps. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, just ask and they’ll point you in the right direction.

Art Deco
Forget the traditional image of dust-collecting glass bowls and stemware. Blue’s bold and quirky designs will brighten your living room, dining room or bathroom like no old-fashioned glass can. Plus, the prices are low enough that you won’t hesitate to use your purchases every day. You can also pick up the requisite T-shirts, picture books and other gifts here if you wish.
Candles Gallery Buy a candle large enough to need its own seat on the plane or one of this store’s smaller, natural-beeswax creations.
➤ Karlova 23 • Map L4 Enter this shop filled with antique furnishings, vintage clothing and one-of-a-kind knickknacks and you’ll feel you’ve stepped back into the First Republic. Outfit yourself in Jazz-Age style, right down to the spats and cigarette holder, or dress up your parlour with an Art Nouveau clock or cordial set.
➤ Michalská 21 • Map L5
Centrum Historie This gallery sells replicas of all sorts of 14th- to 17th-century items. You can even watch as they make them, while sipping a drink brought to you by a maid in Baroque costume.

PRAGUE TRAVEL GUIDE
Shopping Tips Cards 1 Credit The more expensive the item, the more likely it will be that you can pay for it with a credit card. Shops selling souvenirs are more likely to accept credit cards than those selling necessities. Cards accepted by an establishment will be indicated on the shop’s front door. VAT Refunds Tourists are entitled to a refund of the value-added tax on purchases. Ask for a tax-free shopping cheque and tax-free envelope at the store. Complete the cheque and have it stamped at customs within 30 days. In Prague, visitors can collect their refund at several shops at Ruzyn• airport (see Getting to Prague).
2
Baskets and Bags If there are shopping carts or baskets at the front of the store, take one as you go in. It’s common courtesy – shopkeepers will assume you’re a shoplifter without one – and it helps regulate the number of shoppers in the often tiny stores. Bags for your purchases may cost extra.
3
for Soviet paraphernalia, be warned that anything you find these days is likely to be a replica. Books If you’re looking for some reading material for the next leg of your journey, head to Anagram, Big Ben or The Globe bookstore (see The Globe Bookstore and Coffeehouse), but don’t expect the latest titles. Or try Czech booksellers such as Kanzelsberger, where English-language classics go for a song.

➤ Anagram: Týn 4 • Map M3 ➤ Big Ben: Malá Štupartská 5 • Map M3 ➤ Kanzelsberger: Václavské nám•stí 4 • Map N5 Goods 10 Bootleg As with most major cities, the odds are very good that the Adidas trainers, Calvin Klein underwear or Umbro sportswear that you can buy on street stalls is not the real thing. Also be aware that many bazaars sell pirated CDs, videos and software, so the quality is likely to be dubious, if not downright unuseable.
Small Change Prague tellers demonstrate a disturbing antipathy towards mathematics and always appreciate it if you have exact change, down to the last heller. Don’t be surprised if the clerk fishes the correct coins out of your hand. Smaller shops may even refuse to accept banknotes larger than K•1,000.
4
Specialist Shops Large department stores such as Tesco and Carrefour have now introduced one-stop shopping, but there is still the tendency in Prague for shops to specialize to an amusing degree. A papírnictví sells everything made of paper, from notepads to sanitary napkins, while the only place you’ll find an alarm clock is at a hodiná•ství .
5
Bargain Food Whole loaves of fresh sourdough bread go for less than K•10. But be warned – this bread is free of preservatives, so it starts to go off after a day. Shops selling grilované ku•e (roast chicken) are dotted around the city. Order a quarter or half bird to eat there, or, if you are in self-catering accommodation, you can take a whole bird home for a great dinner.
6
Fresh Vegetables Large supermarkets often trade in quality for quantity when it comes to produce. The best fruit and vegetables are found at various outdoor markets around Prague. In the city centre, try Havelská.
7
Antiques Antiques dealers and junk merchants abound in the city centre. Going further afield will offer you an even better selection and prices. You may need a special permit to export antiques from the Czech Republic; ask the dealer. If you’re looking
