Prague - Praha - Прага - Prag
I'm back in Russia after an awesome weekend in Prague! My co-worker Masha and I enjoyed the beautiful capital of the Czech Republic in cold but sunny weather. We ate loads, we had lots of beer, we walked a lot and slept well :-) What else you need!?
Thanks to the 2 hours time difference, we woke up early on Friday morning after a refreshing 9,5h sleep and set off to discover Jewish Prague. Our hotel, Certovka, was/is located right next to the Charles Bridge and from our room we could see the Prague castle.

View to the Prague Castle
We saw ALL the synagogues and exhibitions in Prague. I won't recite my feelings and impressions of the Jewish Prague tour, but it was very impressive!!! One thing that got me was the old suitcase of displaced "Otto Schwarzkopf", and the children's drawings... the drawings are the only items left in memory of these children!
Poser Anna in Prague
I fell in love with the hat, but I didn't buy it... Wouldn't be fashionable in Piter ;-)
Sightseeing
On top of the Tower Hall
On top of the Tower hall: View to the Prague castle and the "Eifeltower" (both at the horizon, and we climbed on both the next day)
Masha on top of the Tower Hall
Delicious dinner with beer and Becherovka
By the way, people thought I'm Russian! Some started guessing where I'm from, and the last thing that would say was Germany.
People also must have been very confused meeting Masha and me... A Russian and a German girl in Prague, speaking English with each other. WHAT???!!!
YUMMY!!!
Walking home...
Meeting old friends
The trip to Prague was a perfect gift... I had never been to Prague before and I wanted visit Simona this year anyway! Remember my cool Czech friend Simona? She was a trainee in Piter when I first got here.
Simona picked us up from the airport, took us around for a night sightseeing tour in the car, drove us to the airport on Sunday morning and went clubbing with us :-) THANKS!!!
The bad news for Simona: I want to go soon again to Prague and bug her! ;-)
The Prague Castle
Saturday was dedicated to the Prague Castle, which turned out to be a "slippery" and very cold adventure.
The stairs and paths were like skating rinks; it was more sliding and crawling than walking. However, we never fell :-)

Night sightseeing with Simona in the car
We had a safe flight home and I miss Europe again :-( I truly love my time in Russia, but it is time to go back. GREAT thanks to TELPHIN for this awesome weekend, and thanks to Masha for being such a great companion and her effort of speaking English with me all weekend long! And... see you soon, Simona ;-)

I recently visited the City of Prague, also known as “the golden city of spires” on Vltava River. I found Prague very attractive, and the thousand-year history was visible particularly in the architecture. The touristy Old Town, the Prague Castle, the Little Quarter and the Jewish Town made a deep impression on me with beautiful medieval, gothic- and baroque-style churches and renaissance residential buildings, museums, cafes and theaters. One could wander through the meandering streets of Prague for days in a row and continuously discover hidden alleyways and unique views.
