Greetings from Prague

Today was the first day that I was able to use the internet connection at the hotel to check if my site was up and running and I’m really happy that everything is looking so well. I will be back tomorrow and start updating ghacks again, today I just want to write some impressions about Prague.

I could say it with just a few words: Prague is wonderful. The first ride from the airport to the hotel was fantastic and created a great impression of Prague. I was not able to decide where to look first while walking around the city center. Old wonderful buildings everywhere, so much culture and people from all over Europe and Asia.

The town is really crowded with tourists but that is totally understandable. Prague has many must see attractions like Prague Castle (unbelievable, this is so pretty and big, make sure you have at least 4-5 hours for this attraction), the Jewish Quarters with some of the oldest buildings in the town, Charles Bridge of course which can be passed on the way to the castle, the National Museum and lots more.

As I said, to much for just a few days in the city. Prices for food and wares are quite low with the exception of electronic media and hardware. You can purchase nice meals in some unique restaurants who are not located at the tourists routes for about 5-8 Euros (6-10$). Cigarettes and Beer are really inexpensive, beer in beer gardens is about 1 Euro (1,20$) and Cigarettes about 2 Euro (2,40$).

You should change the money in Prague and not at home, you can make some great bargains at the exchange stations that are nearly everywhere.

Prague is a romantic city, I’m staying in the 22nd floor of the Corinthia Towers hotel and you’ve got a fantastic view of the city from there. I can absolutely recommend the hotel, it is great. I stayed one night in the Praha hotel which had also a fantastic view of the city. Can recommend both hotels to everyone.

Take care, I see you tomorrow.
