The story

It's freezing today; no sooner have we arrived at the airport than it snows heavily — full winter here, with temperatures around -2°!!

We are staying at the Hotel Moevenpick Prague, clean and welcoming though not central; the funicular that takes us to the rooms of this hotel, some of which are also on the upper floor, is charming.

This time we decide to leave the usual tourist circuit around the city and take tram number 9, which will carry us above the rooftops of Prague, to the top of the Malá Strana (Lesser Town) quarter, where we can discover a myriad of evocative corners and views, artistic treasures made up of churches, palaces and.... curious and bizarre human encounters....
