Bench and a tree at Hastalska street

A quiet place in Old Town.

Radotin train station

Radotin train station is the last train station when you're leaving Prague to the South.

Mercedes S and U Purkmistra restaurant

At the corner with Vodickova street there is U Purkmistra restaurant. It is not obvious on the small picture - just click on it to see it bigger - but the restaurant has the same front grill as that Mercedes. See? :)

Porsche 911 and U Klenotnika Hotel

Well, you kind of can't see it on this black and white picture but the Porsche was absolutely green. And I'm talking #0F0 green (for those of you who do some web coding :)
The street is called Rytirska and there's a lot of good and popular cafes.

V Jame street and The Icon Hotel

V Jame street connects two big streets leading to Wenceslas square: Vodickova and Stepanska street. Interesting thing in this street is The Icon Hotel. Just look at its webpage to see how beautiful it is :)

Escalators at Narodni trida station

Escalators at Narodni trida metro station. It must have been late because there's usually more than one person.
And here's the opposite view.

Dinosaur at Palladium shopping center

There were dinosaurs in Palladium. But I'd like to tell you something different. See the Coffeeheaven shop? It's a Central European answer to Starbucks. And you know what, we're getting the first Starbucks in Prague now. It'll be under Prague castle, near Charles bridge. Really a great location. They are planning the second shop for summer I think. It is going to be close to this Coffeeheaven - also in Palladium shopping center.

Strange house in Radotin

This house just looked strange to me. Well, it looks quite normal on the photo, now. This is in Radotin, in the southern part of Prague.

Parizska street during Christmas

One from Christmas season. This is Parizska street with all the lights on all the trees.

New Year's Eve at Old Town square

Continuing of the New Year's Eve quest. This is Old Town square's music stage. 4 hours 15 minutes before New Year. I know the music band playing was a famous one and a good one, too :) But I really can't remember which one. Just ran through the crowd singing their song.

New Year's Eve at Wenceslas square

This is Wenceslas square 4 hours and 25 minutes before New Year. The two big screens showed what was going on the main stage. And all of that was also broadcast live on our biggest commercial television Nova.

Prague ZOO's Guerrilla in action

I just found this image from summer and I think it perfectly illustrates how most of the guerrilla campaigns in Prague looks like (this one with parrots being for Prague ZOO). The agencies use tram stops. Well, if I have to spend money on advertising in Prague, I would use tram stops too. The second step would be the ads on trams.

My favourite steps near Prague castle

One from the summer archive: my favourite steps at Prague castle.
There's a pub at the top (you can sit outside and just enjoy the atmosphere) and at the bottom starts Nerudova street. With Prague castle around the corner.

Usual at Charles bridge

Charles bridge wouldn't be Charles bridge without them - tourists and beggars.

Prague pubs: U Maleho Glena

View from a window at U Maleho Glena pub. This is a pub really close to Prague Castle - actually being right under it - and Charles bridge. There are music concerts at the underground hall (it is a famous jazz and blues music club as well). And if you go there you'll see photos on the wall. Those are the photos of a friend of mine. Unfortunately I haven't been there nor see them. I was only at the upper pub enjoying the old Prague atmosphere here - with a glass of not Czech beer.

You can rent a room at U Maleho Glena also. I would say you can hardly find better placed accommodation in Prague than this one.

Prague sky we haven't seen in Prague lately

There have not been that clear sky in Prague for a long time now. The summer holidays are over and so is the summer weather. Tomorrow is said to be the coldest day of this week. Well, it was so cold in Prague last week that we have to wear a winter jackets not to freeze all over.

By the way, this is Jecna street and down the way is Charles square and a little more down the way is Vltava river.

Garden Restaurant at Slovansky Dum

Garden restaurant at Slovansky dum. I don't know why but every time I go through there (this is a quick way to get from Jindrisska street to Na Prikopech street) I have the same feeling as when I was going along the restaurants at France's Cap d'Agde promenade. Really don't know why. There's no sea, even no fish restaurants. Just the feel of this place is the same - maybe it's that holiday great spent evening feel which is the same here.

From Underground to Prague's biggest square

Exit at Karlovo namesti metro station to the square of the same name. It is Charles square in English and it is Prague's biggest square with tram connections to the most places in Prague. Literally, you will get everywhere in Prague from Charles square by tram.

Have a great weekend! :)

Building at Strasnice

This is one of the newer buildings at Prague district Strasnice. They have one of the Prague skateparks nearby and also a shop with lcd monitors (good prices and have the actual monitors in the shop). That was the reason I was here. But as I didn't write their address I completely forgot it and after a half an hour of searching I gave up. It was late, too. Maybe next time.
