Prague Tour

We reached Prague, the capital city of Czech Republic, on Jan 28, 2015. We had planned to stay there for 2 days. Our bus took to the Florenc Bus Station in the morning. Just at the bus station there is a friendly tourist information center from where you can get the tourist map and a money exchange (official with 0% commission). The currency of Prague is Czech Crown (czk) with 1 czk equals 0.036 euro. From the same place, you can get the metro that connect you with each corners of the city. Prague has  a excellent metro lines. You can get further information on the metro from its website. They also have night tram so that you can easily get to the bus station even though you have a night departure bus.

On the first day we visited the west sides of the river Vltava. The main attraction on this side of river are the St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle and St. Nicholas Church. Tram 20 is ideal to visit the important spots on this side of river. From the top of the hill, one can get beautiful view of Prague old town with a lot of beautiful classical houses.

Charles bridge is the very beautiful bridge over the Vltava river with many statues. Walking along the bridge is a pleasant time to have in Prague.

On next day we visited the east side of the river, which is basically the old town. In the main square of the Prague old town, one can see many beautiful churches and houses. The astronomical clock is a wonderful piece of art and science at the main square. The Narodni museum of Prague is a massive beautiful architectural structure which is currently under maintenance.
