The story

To celebrate New Year this year we decided to return to the splendid and, for us, "familiar" PRAGUE!!!

We rented a minibus and set off, 7 of us, on 28 December at about 22.30... arriving in Prague at 10 o'clock on 29 December!!!

The journey was fairly heavy, especially because of the fog we hit along the way and the biting cold in the fantastic minibus without heating:o(

Once in Prague, though, everything gives way to the wonder of the city... Everything except the cold that would accompany us for the whole stay... but after all we're in Prague and it's December... you couldn't expect anything else!!:o)

Since we only had 3 days, we did nothing but... walk... walk... and walk some more to enjoy every corner of this enchanting city!!

I recommend everyone go at least once in their life (this was my 5th time...) to Prague because in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe... but if you can choose, avoid the New Year period... Too many people limit the view of the sights and, as everywhere, prices are obviously doubled...!!

Ahoj!!
