Prague Old World Charm

Prague is a city of artists. The Charles Bridge is covered with artists selling paintings and other art. Musicians set up in the square and on the bridge and perform many types of music from opera to jazz.

We went to Prague and as a family of three ate every night for about $20.00. The food was great. My husband scoped out the Budvar Beer Hall and led me and my son to a large wooden table. We had the traditional Czech meal of goulash, my son had a great chicken noodle soup, both were delicious and the beer was as good as advertised.

Prague has three Opera houses. The Estates Theater is where Mozart’s Don Giovanni premiered. Prague is also home of the Marionette and has numerous Black Light Theaters. We were adventurous and went to a Black Light Theater. It was really interesting the entire 90 minute play was based on Beatle Music and pantomime. A Black Light Theater is a small stage lit with a black light and puppeteers move florescent objects in the background in a manner that makes them look suspended in midair.

I think Prague is a sogonow location because although they have joined the E.U. they haven’t switched to the euro yet. Once the switch is made prices will go up, usually by about 40%. (A beer is about $1.40 U.S. in Prague and in the E.U. countries a beer is $4.00 U.S.)

I also think Prague is a sogonow location because we were fortunate enough to go up into the Powder Tower and the Clock Tower, these sites are small, I would expect both locations to become more exclusive in time as they will be unable to withstand a huge crush of tourists. The entire Old Town has retained its old world charm in the picturesque medieval buildings, cobblestone streets and sidewalks.

Prague has so many interesting sites and amazing activities and things will change as they become more westernized. The time to go to Prague is now.
You will not regret the trip and when your friends venture to Prague 10 years from now you can say things like “I remember when you could…….”
