Sea in Prague. Is there a sea in the Czech Republic? Where to start when buying a package tour from the Czech Republic

Today I will tell you where you can go on your own from Prague for one day. The article will list 10 places where you can spend the whole day, take a walk and admire the beauty. These places really deserve attention. I won’t write how to get to these places - the post will just contain ideas for trips.

1. Karlštejn + Křivoklat

I advise all tourists who come to Prague and do not want to travel far to the castles to go to. This particular castle is the most beautiful and interesting castle near Prague. Getting to the castle is only 40 minutes by train from Prague's main station, then a short walk and you find yourself in a picturesque place, overlooked by the powerful medieval Karlštejn Castle. The premises of the castle are not particularly interesting, I advise you to take a walk around it and have lunch in one of the restaurants in the village, and then go to Křivoklát Castle, which is located 40 km from Karlštejn.

If you have to live for some time in the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, you can take a short trip every day. By Russian standards, the main attractions of this European country are literally “a stone’s throw” from Prague. So, where can you go from Prague for 1 day on your own?

An interesting castle with a rich history, and it’s very easy to get to. Trains leave from Prague Station every half hour and pass through the village of the same name as the castle. The distance from Prague is only 28 km. The castle was built in the 14th century by order of King Charles IV. The royal residence and treasury were to be located here. The location was perfect: it was protected from attack by natural barriers. A river flowed nearby, and it was decided to build the fortress itself on the top of a cliff. Since then, the castle really had to withstand sieges by enemies: first the Hussites, then the Swedes. Centuries passed and the castle's owners changed.

At one time there was even a boarding house for noble maidens here. Tourists were able to explore Karlštejn after it became the property of the Czechoslovak Republic. When you visit, you will see the king’s personal chambers, the interior of the castle, in particular the Marian Tower. Visit the Chapel of the Holy Cross and climb the steps of the Great Tower.

Konopiste Castle

This large castle will be appreciated by all lovers of Gothic architecture. Like a real fortress, it is protected from the enemy by powerful ramparts and deep ditches. Inside, it is a real piece of paradise - with a beautiful park. Fountains of crystal water gush here, handsome peacocks stroll leisurely, and graceful sculptures delight the eye. In the castle itself you can see collections of paintings, crystal items and rare weapons. The most romantic of the owners of Konopiste was Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand.

He bought a castle in order to hide in it with his beloved woman. Having renounced his right to the throne, Franz Ferdinand entered into a morganatic marriage. Currently, guests of the castle can also have a wedding in it. Konopiste is visited in the warm season - from April to the end of October. During the tour you will see the chambers of Franz Ferdinand, a library, a collection of weapons, and a chapel. The best way to get from Prague is by train to the town of Benesov.

Kutna Hora

Based on the name, you might think that you will be climbing a mountain here. In fact, this name is given to an ancient town located 66 km from the capital of the Czech Republic. Kutna Hora is famous for its picturesque surroundings and numerous attractions. This town can also be called “silver”. A silver deposit was discovered here in the 13th century, and since it was from this metal that the majority of Czech coins were minted, a Mint soon appeared here. And Kutna Hora itself turned into a kind of state treasury. Guests of the city can visit the “silver mine”, visit the Vlassky Dvor and view the exhibits of the Hrádek Museum. And, of course, you won’t want to let go of your camera on the streets. Here and there are cathedrals, extraordinary houses, beautiful flower beds.

Why do some tourists experience a feeling of horror in a medieval city? Here is the Ossuary or Chapel of All Saints. It is located in a cemetery. And about 40 thousand human bones were used to form the interior. Also in Kutna Hora you will see the beautiful ancient Cathedral of St. Barbara, decorated with frescoes. Here you can even hear organ music. Another famous temple was built in honor of the Ascension of the Virgin Mary. The extraordinary architecture, thanks to which the temple is literally flooded with radiance, has led to the fact that this place began to be called the “abode of light.”

Karlovy Vary

This world-famous city also originates from Charles IV, who, while hunting, saw a wonderful valley with healing springs. You can get from Prague to Karlovy Vary by intercity bus; travel time is about 2 hours. A real gem of architecture is the city theater, built in the 19th century, in the then popular style of exquisite neo-baroque. Its curtain is hand painted by famous artists. Famous artists constantly perform at the theater. The observation tower with the poetic name Diana is also worth a visit. You can climb it using an old funicular. From here you have a wonderful view of the city.

Guests of the city also visit the Valeč Castle, dating back to the 14th century, a beautiful building in the Gothic style. There is a brewery and a lovely park here. One of the main attractions of Karlovy Vary is the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. The church received its appearance that tourists see today at the end of the 18th century, although it was founded by the crusaders in the 14th century. And, of course, city guests visit the so-called colonnades, where springs of healing mineral water flow. Children will most like the Nativity Museum - in this place the holiday reigns all year round.

Camp

The city, popular with tourists, is located in the south of the Czech Republic. It began to be built in the 15th century, on the site of an ancient settlement. In Czech, “tabor” means “fortification, camp.” In the 15th century Tabor became a royal city. Guests visit the city hall - the building dates back to the 16th century, today there is a museum there. They visit the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, built at the same time as the town hall. The Gable House has also been preserved from the 16th century. The city's attractions also include the Kotnov Castle tower and the famous Bechyny Gate, built in the 15th century. And, of course, in Tabor there are monuments to the main heroes of the Czech people - Jan Žižka and Jan Hus. The bravest tourists can walk along the underground corridors where the Hussites hid.

Pilsen

Quite a large city, it is famous among Russians largely for its Pilsner beer. A plant for the production of this blessed drink was opened here by a resident of Germany, banker Bleishroder. Therefore, guests of the city are attracted by the Brewing Museum, as well as numerous cafes and bars offering Pilsner and other types of beer. At the same time, Pilsen is a very beautiful old city. Among its attractions are Republic Square with its beautiful fountains and St. Bartholomew's Cathedral. The huge dungeon, where there used to be warehouses, is also popular with tourists. The water supply system was also located here. There is an automobile plant in the city - Skoda cars are produced here. Guests can also visit the Armory Chamber and the Museum of Western Bohemia.

Liberec

Liberitz is an ancient town, founded in the 14th century, and together with the Czech Republic, it survived all the wars of conquest and popular uprisings. Many Germans live here; at one time Liberitz was even part of Germany. Today it is a developed city of great interest to tourists of all ages. Fans of alpine skiing will find excellent ski trails here in the cold season, and children will love the water park and amusement park. Those who appreciate Czech antiquity will pay tribute to the museums, the town hall building and the local castle. And everyone, without exception, will enjoy the picturesque landscapes surrounding the city.

In order to see Liberitz from a bird's eye view, it is worth going up to the observation deck located next to the city TV tower. A cable car will take you there. Liberice Castle is worth capturing in photographs. In the Regional Museum you will see a rich exhibition of paintings, including many works by artists from France. Russians would call the Museum of Northern Bohemia “local history”: it contains materials telling about the history of the region. The amusement park has many interactive areas that will enchant little tourists.

Ceske Budejovice

Another Czech city that is famous for the production of Budweiser beer. But it’s better to go to a pub or cafe when you’ve seen all the sights and want to rest your feet. The historical center of the city is beautiful, where the ancient town hall building, decorated with sculptures, is located. The Black Tower, whose height exceeds 70 m, impresses tourists. Believers, as well as lovers of history and architecture, should visit the Cathedral of St. Nicholas. Children and youth are delighted with the large fountain, in the center of which there is a statue of Samson. The guides also show guests of the city an ancient Dominican monastery, a church consecrated in honor of the Entry of the Virgin Mary into the Temple, and a museum of the royal Rudolf dynasty. Ceske Budejovice attracts tourists with its fairs. There are also many small shops where you can buy handmade souvenirs.

Czech krumlov

This city began to be built in the 13th century, and its coat of arms is still decorated with a red rose - the same one that was on the coat of arms of its former owners, the feudal lords of the Rosenbergs. There is a lot to see in Cesky Krumlov! Local attractions include Krumlov Castle, which occupies a huge territory - up to 10 hectares. It began to be built in the 14th century, and work continued for three centuries! The Cloak Bridge, dating back to the 18th century, is unusual; it is a real three-story gallery.

As in every ancient city, there are several churches, the most famous of which is the 14th century Church of St. Vitus, decorated with frescoes. The Church of the Corpus Christi was built in the 15th century, and the Minorite monastery was completed in the 17th century. The town hall building dates back to the 16th century. If you are lucky, you will be able to get into the theater, built in the 18th century: performances are given here only three times a year. If you wish, you can take a taxi and go to the ancient monastery, located 10 km from the city.

Ostrava

In terms of size, it is the third largest city in the Czech Republic; more than 300 thousand people live here. It was founded in the 13th century. For a long time, mainly artisans and innkeepers who served travelers lived here. In the 18th century, a coal deposit was discovered nearby, and the Northern Railway was built. Since then, the rapid development of the city began. One of the main attractions is Masaryk Square, where you will see the ancient town hall.

The museum located there is worth a visit. There is also a “plague” pillar on the square - such a pillar was erected by the townspeople in gratitude to the saints when the epidemic of the deadly disease was receding. The Church of St. Wenceslas, the Basilica of the Savior, and the Church of St. Catherine are beautiful. In the new town hall building you can go up to the observation deck and view the city from above. And, of course, city museums attract guests. Among them are the Firefighting Museum and the Mining Museum.

Dresden

From Prague it is not at all difficult to get to Dresden and get to know the main attractions of this beautiful city, founded in the 13th century. It is rightfully considered one of the main cultural centers of Europe. Dresden is 150 km from the capital of the Czech Republic. What's a must-see? The ancient Church of the Virgin Mary, reconstructed after World War II. The Bühl Terrace, also called the “balcony of Europe,” is the most beautiful building of the Higher School of Fine Arts. Visit the Zwinger Palace, built in Baroque style in the 18th century. The largest holidays took place here, in which royalty took part. Here you can see an art gallery, including works by Raphael.

On Theater Square you will see the Semper Opera House. The Albertinium Museum is worth a visit, with paintings and sculptures on display. You will definitely want to take a photo in front of the “Procession of Princes” tile panel. And technology enthusiasts will be interested in the plant where Volkswagen cars are produced. It is convenient to get from Prague to Dresden both by train and by intercity bus.

Thus, even if you leave Prague for 1 day, you will be able to see many sights that will make a great impression on you.

Every nation has its own favorite sea. The Russians have black and red, the French have azure, the Danes have northern, and the Czechs have the Croatian Adriatic. Why not Italy or France, but rather Croatia? The answer is simple: closer, cheaper, and the sea is no worse.

Croatia has a thriving private housing sector. Remember how in the past, somewhere in Gelendzhik, my grandmother rented out a shed, and so it is here. You can rent a hut or an expensive mansion, but basically everyone rents apartments with a kitchen and everything necessary for independent living. Many Czechs have long-established connections with their owners, as they come to them from year to year. The cost of such housing usually does not exceed 20-25 euros per day per person.

Summer is coming, and thousands of cars loaded with many necessary things rush to the warm sea and bright sun. The hostess fries the Czech version of pork schnitzel - řízek - for the trip, and the men take with them a keg of their favorite beer. There is plenty of beer and meat in Croatia, but this is already a tradition, like boiled eggs and fried chicken in our old days.

Entry into Croatia is free for Czechs and other residents of the eurozone, but for citizens of third countries it is necessary to have either a Croatian visa, or a multi-Schengen visa, or a residence permit of any EU country. And another important tip: try to plan your route so as not to cross the Croatian border on Saturday. Usually apartments are rented for a week (Saturday - Saturday), so on this day there are many kilometers of queues at checkpoints. So, everything is ready, all that remains is to choose a route - and off you go!

How to get from Prague to Croatia by car? 4 best routes

First option. The fastest and easiest (Prague - Brno - Vienna - Graz - Maribor - Macelj border crossing).

Distance - 620 km, travel time - 5.5 hours.
Tolls for roads

The road is almost a continuous highway, with the exception of a small section between Brno and Vienna. You can eat at gas station snack bars. In Austria, pay attention to roadside self-service restaurants of the Rosenberger system. Not cheap, but high quality, tasty and convenient. One of them is located at the entrance to Vienna, and the second is not reaching the border with Slovenia. On the way you can see the South Moravian cities of Mikulov, Lednice and Valtice, and the Austrian cities of Baden and Graz. Outside Vienna it is nice to stop and take a walk in Laxenburg Park. If you are traveling overnight, it is best to choose a hotel in South Moravia or in the Slovenian Maribor region - hotels in Austria are much more expensive.

Second option. The shortest (Prague - Ceske Budejovice - Linz - Graz - Maribor - Macelj border crossing).

Distance- 570 km, travel time- 6 hours.

Tolls for roads: Czech, Austrian and Slovenian vignettes.

The road from Ceske Budejovice to Linz is bad: narrow and congested. After this section you will enter the highway, which will stretch almost to the border with Croatia. On the way you can stop by Cesky Krumlov, Hluboka nad Vltavou Castle and Austrian Graz.

Third option. Via Hungary (Prague - Brno - Vienna - Sopron - Heviz - border crossing Letenyei Határátkelőhely közúti).

Distance- 610 km, travel time- 7.5 hours.

Tolls for roads: Czech and Austrian vignettes.

From Vienna, set the route on your navigator to the Hungarian Sopron, and then to Hévíz. When traveling from Heviz to the border crossing Letenyei Határátkelőhely közúti, disable the use of toll roads: then you will not have to spend money on the Hungarian highways. On the way, you can explore Sopron, and also stop overnight in Heviz and start the next morning with a swim in the famous healing lake with radon water.

Fourth option. Through all of Slovenia (Prague - Brno - Vienna - Graz - Maribor - Ljubljana - border crossing Kaštel).

Distance- 830 km, travel time- 8.5 hours.

Tolls for roads: Czech, Austrian and Slovenian vignettes.

Between Maribor and Ljubljana there are two beautiful parks - Mozirski gaj and Volčji Potok arboretum. The capital of Slovenia itself is also worthy of a visit. Also on the way you can explore one of two cave complexes: Postojnska jama or Škocjanske jame. Slovenia has a very good and understandable cuisine: the food is tasty and inexpensive. Hotel prices are also low, and the hosts are hospitable and friendly.

Each of the listed routes has its own advantages: the choice depends, rather, on the availability of time and your desire to see something interesting along the way. Think, decide - summer is just around the corner. Have a great holiday!

TOURISTS' ANSWERS:

Different opinions

Communicating with various acquaintances, I often heard the following point of view: “Ugh, Prague is the territory of the former Czechoslovakia. They are all obsessed with the fight against the Soviet Union and they are all gloomy there. You won’t get any joy from traveling while relaxing in a city with such sad people who treat Russians disgustingly.”

In fact, I don’t quite understand where this opinion comes from. If with the Baltic countries like Latvia and Lithuania everything is more or less clear: politicians divide something there and generously supply the media with low-grade stories about their division. And based on these stories, people imagine special “tomato-throwing” detachments that meet every tourist from Russia right at the station. But it seems like nothing like this has been said about the Czech Republic and Prague in particular for a long time!

Perhaps I’m spreading my thoughts too far, so I’m returning to the original topic.

During my travels, I became convinced that the residents of Prague for the most part are very friendly and pleasant people, at least in relation to tourists. I remember when I got off the tourist bus for the first time, while rearranging my suitcase, I hit some passer-by, and I hit him hard. What do you think happened next? I still didn’t have time to turn to him to say something like “Sorry” when he had already apologized to me. For what? Because I hurt him! Actually, in such an atmosphere of mutual understanding and mutual respect with local residents, every trip I take to Prague takes place.

"What kind of sea is there?"

I don’t want to offend anyone with my next sentence, but there are often times when people ask me: “Prague? What kind of sea is there?” =) At first this caused me a storm of indignation, but then I just began to chuckle quietly into my fist and answer: “Well, what kind - Czech, of course! It consists entirely of beer – that’s where the famous Czech foamy drink comes from.” For some reason people are offended by such an answer... So! There is no sea in Prague, as well as in the whole Czech Republic!

Let's move on. Prague is an ancient city, half of which is entirely architectural monuments. It so happened that during the Second World War it was not bombed into splinters (more precisely, into rubble) neither by ours nor by our enemies, and almost undamaged (at least in relation to many other cities) it remained the same as it was. Its historical part stretches on two banks of the Vltava River, and you can wander there for a very, very long time. It took me 3 days on foot at my standard speed of 5 - 7 km/h just to get around everything, looking left and right.

The main tourist scene is located in the Prague 1 area, on the right bank of the Vltava. It is, in general, understandable. The entire city stands on huge hills, which are sometimes very difficult to climb, the only area of ​​the old part of the city where the streets do not have brutal elevation changes is precisely this very Prague 1. Most of the shops and taverns, cafes and shops are concentrated there, it is always very crowded, so sometimes you just can’t get crowded.

You can walk around Prague endlessly. The whole atmosphere of this city inspires a positive, calm mood. And while walking, you can always find a cozy place to stop by and “refuel” with standard coffee or delicious Czech beer.

Absorbing the beautiful

(not about beer)

Another reason to go to Prague is the Laterna Magica theater. The theater troupe gives many magical performances on the New Stage of the People's Theatre, and the actors communicate with the audience not with words, but with body language and gestures, throwing language barriers into the dustbin.

Neither "be" nor "me"

By the way, about language barriers. I communicated everywhere and with everyone in my weak “pigeon English” and they understood me quite well. Sometimes I came across places (cafes, shops) where they understood Russian, but still, knowledge of the Russian language in Prague is not widespread. And also, since our languages ​​(Czech and Russian) are very similar, sometimes they could say something to me in Czech, I could answer in Russian - and we understood each other perfectly.

Bored of Prague?

Finally, I note that from Prague they take us on various excursions to other cities. Moreover, these are not only Czech, but also German and Austrian, I have even seen 2-day tours to Paris. Considering the “middle” location of the Czech Republic between Germany and Austria, I can recommend going to Prague first, and then devoting several days to visiting other countries.

Let me summarize

Prague is suitable for:

Lovers of urban romance;

Lovers of leisurely relaxation with a glass of beer;

Art connoisseurs.

Prague is not suitable for:

Parents with small children;

For beach lovers =)

When we were planning to visit Europe for the first time, we started with Prague. And they didn’t regret it. Now I am convinced that this city is the place to start getting acquainted with Europe for several reasons. Firstly, Prague leads a fairly relaxed lifestyle, without too much fuss. This really helps you feel the atmosphere of the city. Secondly, the main eras of development of all European states are represented in a small area. There are centuries-old churches, tiled roofs of houses, aristocratic castles, and modern parks. Having visited Prague, you can have a general idea of ​​Europe as a whole. But do not forget that each city is beautiful and individual in its own way.

Considering that the Czech Republic has no access to the sea, accordingly, traveling around the capital will remain a purely excursion trip. For those who like us to explore new beautiful places, this city is ideal. But I would not recommend future tourists to fill all their vacation days with excursions. You should definitely leave at least a couple of days for leisurely walks and enjoying the views and architecture. We didn’t plan it this way on purpose, but that’s exactly how it turned out. And it was great! When you walk around the city slowly, without regard for time, and return to places you already love, it brings a lot of pleasant impressions.

I would not travel around Prague with small children. This is not yet of particular value to them, but they will get tired quite quickly. Carrying a baby in a stroller along the pavement is very inconvenient and not every stroller can handle it. It is better to take children with you at middle or high school age. Although it is possible that they will be a little bored.

Prague is a small and very cozy European capital of the Czech Republic. It seems to me that Russian tourists are its most frequent guests. All you have to do is get on the Internet and see rave reviews, bright photographs and loud phrases from everywhere: “We’ll definitely come back here!”

Of course, in order to understand what Prague is, the opinions of those who have visited are not enough, you need to plunge into the magic of this city yourself. Moreover, it has enormous opportunities for tourist recreation.

Those who love a passive type of holiday, consider other countries, such as the Maldives. You have to walk around Prague, a lot, constantly taking pictures: houses, sculptures, streets, attractions, which will make your index finger on your hand hurt by the end of the evening. But you won't be upset about this.

The biggest pleasure is that it is a very short flight. A little over two hours and the plane is already landing. The two oldest airlines fly there: Aeroflot and Czech Airlines. For me, choosing between the two, I would choose our Aeroflot; in some ways it is still better. In maintenance, in the newness of the aircraft. Or maybe I was just that lucky.

As for where to stay in Prague, you won’t have any problems choosing. There are hotels here for every taste and budget. There are also very luxurious ones: Palace Praha, Savoy, Kings Court and others, there are a lot of them in the city. What’s nice is that budget tourists can stay very comfortably. From my own experience, I would note such hotels as: Congress and Sport Hotel Olsanka (formerly Olsanka), Prague Center Plaza, Hotel Amadeus (the most budget).

In any case, no matter what hotel you choose, you won’t spend much time in it. In fact, just spend the night and take a shower. Therefore, I would advise taking a more budget option, but with a good location, preferably closer to the center. Otherwise, you will spend a lot of time moving around. And the same excursions begin in the city center, where a guide with a sign usually waits for his tourists. Therefore, those in the center will have the opportunity to sleep, and guests from hotels on the outskirts will have to set their own alarm clock. But we are on vacation, what an alarm clock!

So, what else will catch your eye in Prague is the hospitality of the locals. It happened that I accidentally pushed someone, and before I had time to apologize, they already said to me: “Sorry” and smiled broadly. People are very open, ready to help in any way they can. Of course, this is very captivating and makes you trust them. Many, by the way, speak excellent Russian. But these are mostly older residents, not young people. In some ways, it seemed to me that our languages ​​are similar. So, learning Czech and Russian will not be difficult.

Prague is a safe city, even a young girl can safely travel here, unaccompanied. Theft on the streets and in hotels is extremely rare and most often such offenses come from tourists themselves. The Czechs themselves are very decent. Here's an example: there are no turnstiles in the underground metro in Prague. Everything rests on the integrity of citizens. There are controllers on trains, but they are extremely rare.

Prague is a city, a complete attraction. The most impressive is St. Vitus Cathedral. With its power it shocks and fascinates. There is even a joke about it among tourists. That due to its colossal size, the cathedral cannot be completely captured in just one lens. St. Vitus Cathedral is considered the most important in Prague; all the coronations of kings took place inside it. An entire dynasty of kings rests on its territory. The inside of the Cathedral is just as stunning and impressive. Something instills horror. At that time, this was done specifically to control people with the help of their own faith.

St. Vitus Cathedral

For walking, take a stroll through the Old Town Square. She is very beautiful during the daytime. Ancient houses are like pictures, lanterns are everywhere, street musicians play famous compositions. Just wear comfortable shoes; walking on the paving stones in heels will be difficult.

Street musicians

In Prague, in addition to the classic sights from guidebooks, there are mysterious and mystical places. Guides usually don’t talk about them. For example, Golden Street, there are legends about it that it was here that alchemists once lived who knew how to turn simple metals into gold. Rumor has it that similar things are happening now in the tiny houses that are located there. For those who like to tickle their nerves, every evening a man dressed in a skeleton costume comes near the historical clock and gives a tour of the mysterious places of Prague.

And of course, what Prague is most famous for is its intoxicating beer. It's really high quality and delicious. Each restaurant has its own small brewery. And in Czech culture it is considered the norm to pour beer even for children. But they really have something different, not the same as what they sell in Russia.

In conclusion, let me say that you can do some good shopping in Prague. Be sure to bring beer. And the signature attribute will be puppets. Every family in the Czech Republic has its own small home theater, and tells children fairy tales not from books, but with the help of these “live” dolls. For the Czech Republic this is real art. True, they are expensive. From 50 euros and above.

The Charles Bridge

There probably won't be enough time to visit everywhere. And this is a reason to return to Prague again.

4. Treatment with healing waters

Czech healing muds, mineral waters, and spas with the highest level of service are known all over the world. Karlovy Vary, Frantiskovy Lazne, Jesenik, Konstantinovy ​​Lazne and other resort places.

5. The unique nature of the Czech Republic

The climate can be defined as maritime and continental. Winters are mild, dry and not cold, and summers are humid and warm. Nature is unique with its landscapes and picturesque views.

6. Gastronomic pleasure

When going to another country, you simply need to taste the national dishes. And Prague is no exception. Pork knuckle, local sausage and all kinds of cheeses, goulash and dumplings, boar knee, svichkova with sour cream, pechena kachna, all these dishes sound like a song.

Czech waffles and cheeses. Czech garnet and crystal. Souvenirs with the mole Krtek, the symbol of the Czech Republic - chocolate with his image, mugs, T-shirts, stationery. Having visited the Havel market, as if specially created for tourists, you can buy honey, sweets, pastries, souvenirs made of wood and leather, and all kinds of jewelry.

Lovers of classical music will not remain indifferent to Prague and its churches. Listen to the Catholic organ and feel the spirit of classical music, what could be better for your state of mind. In addition, the streets of Prague are full of street musicians.
