New Year Joyride through Prague

Every year, the first Saturday is the day of New Year Joyride through Prague. It's a tradition few men with Willyses and other old Jeeps started years ago. There are more Jeeps now. And in fact, it doesn't matter that much if you have old or new Jeep.

It all starts at Kampa and the convoy goes and stops at Prague castle, at Jana Palacha square right in front of Rudolfinum, then at Old Town square and finishes at Wenceslas square. Quite a ride.

I don't have to tell you that it causes a lot of excitment everywhere :)

... and here are some photos from this year's Joyride through Prague.

... and the Easter tree is still there

At Old Town square the Easter celebrations are still running. Following Kakna's yesterday story...

Christmas in Prague

Just want to let you know that Prague is ready for Christmas and absolutely crowded during the day (in spite of this 2 or 3 am photo).

Now we wait only for the snow :)

Easter is over

A peek at Easter Old Town square.

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.

Chair, snow and Old town square

(You might use some imagination on this one. Or click on the picture to see it a little bigger.)
This is Old town square and in the middle under the lamp is the snow. And on the snow is a chair with a view :) Only thing is that it is occupied almost all the time. Everybody wants a picture while sitting here :) I guess the snow is mostly gone by now.

And this is how Old Town square looks during the day

Old Town square getting ready for Christmas

This is from the last week when Old Town square was getting ready for Christmas. It's full of lights, stands and people now. And it's quite pretty :)

I was in Zilina, which is in Slovakia, from Friday and I have to tell you that it is an amazing city. Even though I actually spent only about an hour in the city itself. I will definitely visit it again, this time just as a tourists to enjoy it :)

Prague Orloj and Old Town square

Well, this is it: Prague Orloj at Old Town square. Ten minutes after The Walk of the Apostles. Fifty minutes to the next show. There' s a lot of information on this Astronomical clock... but only for those who know. Like guys at Wikipedia :) Just read more about Prague Orloj there.

Full house every hour - Prague Orloj

There's a crowd every hour. Everybody wants to see how Prague Orloj, or Prague Astronomical Clock, at Old Town square works. It is quite spectacular if you keep in mind that all that show is here since the 15th century.

Well, this video on YouTube would show you more.

There's one more video where you can see the in front of Prague Orloj. It's mine :) and I took it during a friends wedding. You can see it on YouTube, too.

Near Prague's biggest public library at Marianske square

The Prague's biggest public library is here at Marianske square. And you can see Church of Our Lady in front of Týn - one of the dominants of Old Town square - from here, too.

Mercedes at Prague's Old Town

Under Church of Our Lady in front of Týn and with Old Town square at the end of this street. Quite a nice place to park your car :)

There's a classic music shop in this street. They play this music all day long. Pretty loud. So you can enjoy centuries old architecture of Prague with centuries old music. But not many people stop here. It's just a quick way to get to Old Town square.
