Allo,
Welp i am gonna be going through Prague for about 4 days in may and was just wondering what you would suggest to "not miss". I will be with 2 of my friends...

One main question, I am a decent russian speaker..... Is it possible to get by in Prague with russian? I was looking through some language books and there are lots of similarities, just wondering how many people there speak russian.

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

My favorite thing to do in Prague when the weather is good is to stroll through the different neighborhoods. Here are a few with the main attractions:

Old Town (Stare Mesto)
Old Town Square
The Powder Tower and Obecni Dum (I forgot the name of this in English)

Charles Bridge

Mala Strana
Kampa Park
"The Royal Road"
Church of Our Lady Victorious (and the Infant Jesus of Prague)
Petrin Hill
basically anywhere in this part of town is beautiful

Hradcany
Prague Castle and Castle Gardens
The Loreta Church
Strahov Monastery at the top of Petrin Hill

Vysehrad
a beautiful part of town that is less touristed but incredibly worth the trip (only two metro stops from Wencelas Square). Lots of park area and scenic views of Prague and the Vltava River. Beautiful church there, too.

New Town (Nove Mesto)
Wenceslas Square

If you want, keep in touch and let me know how your plans work out. If I am around, I would love to show you around.

Cheers,
Ray
