P R A H A

We had to cancel our planned trip to Barcelona and decide on a different, more cost effective destination. What came to mind was a four day trip to the Golden City Prague which is apparently not the New Paris, but the New Prague. I have been there once before as a teenager with my high school, but that's all just a blur.
We booked the "Prag Spezial" train ticket, with a direct connection from Nürnberg to Prague (5 hour trip) and stayed at the lovely Hotel Ostruvek.
Prague is a city with a great synergy of historical architecture and a slight hint of a long gone communist era. You can discover oddly placed and exciting street art everywhere.The Prazaks appear to be avid readers and dedicated to their pivo (until now I have only witnessed this dedication to beer in my own Heimat).
Our two favorite places in Prague were Veletržní Palace in Holesovice and the Vinohrady/Zizkov neighborhoods.

The Veletržní Palace has unbelievable, versatile exhibitions which demand a whole day visit. One of the most exciting museums I have seen so far.
We'll be back........
