Don't accept 'free' drinks bought by the bar person - they then charge you a small fortune for it (about ?50 for a weird Absinthe cocktail) and get the police onto you when you refuse to pay. The police then 'escort' you to a small cell where they basically beat you up until you pay. Beware Eastern...

There is also a lot to choose from, so there's sure to be something to fit everyone's bill.Since the Iron...  

More pictures in blue. Every step closer to our pension on this walk made me feel I was a step closer to being warm again, and the pictures definitely said the same thing to me. About the blue - I've been trying all winter to take an evening shot of the snow and capture the blue of night fall. In Prague the...  

 Or rather blue. I thought winter this year would last forever. Today it's above freezing. Before I run back to work (which has buried me much more than the snow) I thought I'd post a picture of Bohemian fields covered in snow. Stark and beautiful.  

Fabulous historic rooms for a good price in a location that gives easy access to all parts of the city.  

Delightful restaurant for that special dinner. Specialises in duck and game dishes and does not forget vegetarians. Forget the offer of Czech sparkling wine as you enter and ask for tap water not bottled as these can add a big chunk to your bill. The decor, ambience and service are fabulous.

Leppin's "Blaugast" and Severin's "Journey into the dark" are the best books to accompany a journey to Prague. Both feature seedy, dubious characters wandering around the old town at the beginning of the 20th century. The books are thoroughly depraved, but very good indeed.

Public transport in Prague is cheap and Plentiful. What's more is that it goes on throughout the night. Night trams have numbers in the 50s. One thing worth knowing is that all night trams go through Lazarska/Karlovo Namesti (Charles Square). So, if you know that tram 56 goes past your hotel you can jump on...  

Old fashioned cinema entered through a corridor running through communist-looking tenements and accessed through a courtyard. In summer you can buy beer from a little kiosk in the courtyard and sup it before your film. In winter there's a decent bar and you are allowed to take drinks into the auditorium with...
