Guest BilaHora Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) Ms Joanne I prefer Czech Airlines out of Edinburgh - they have Business Class. As regards Prague Castle, you can get a single ticket that allows entrance to all the main sites in the castle. The Old Royal Palace, Cathedral of St Vitas and Golden Lane are a must.

Joanne 0 Posted January 1, 2005 Thanks for the advice Bilahora on the castle. Looked really nice from the tram. I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you Scottish? Been wondering for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BilaHora Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) Ms Joanne I am from Northumberland and English, which, I imagine, is a great relief to the Scots. Regards BilaHora Edited January 1, 2005 by BilaHora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BilaHora Posted January 1, 2005 Ms Joanne That sounds awfully like the RAF. My grandmother lives in Longhoughton (at least, she did the last I heard). Regards BilaHora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanne 0 Posted January 1, 2005 Ms Joanne That sounds awfully like the RAF. My grandmother lives in Longhoughton (at least, she did the last I heard). Regards BilaHora <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats correct, Biilahora You should visit your Grandmother Anyway, about Prague, is it better to book online tours before you go or when you get there. I normally just wander around getting lost and visiting places by chance, hence the 'Get Lost with Joanne title' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BilaHora Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) Ms Joanne The first guide book I bought for Prague maintained that one of the great delights of Prague was in getting lost. However, should you want a more organised tour, the Cloister Inn has a selection of leaflets for guided tours in reception. Probably the best of Prague's walks is the so-called "Royal Route" which follows the coronation processions of the kings of Bohemia. It starts at the Powder Tower, adjacent to the Municipal House, goes through the Old Town Square, across Charles Bridge and up to Prague Castle. As a walk it is, I believe, a little more than one mile and very worthwhile. Regards BilaHora Edited January 1, 2005 by BilaHora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted January 2, 2005 iris123 Kathrine Tickell played the Northumbrian pipes at the opening of our new Sage building (looks like a silver peanut) beside the Millenium Bridge. She looks a bit Sheryl Crowe ish and is probably the only female exponent of the pipes. A nice local lass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenn 0 Posted January 3, 2005 (edited) Im having a bit of a crisis at the moment re:Prague!!! Im going on holiday on the 11th July, so need to be back on the sunday, and also need to fly from Manchester!! Also the Prague GP is the same weekend as the Silverstone F1 GP (they are doing this to me on purpose??) Mr BilaHora, Are Czech Airlines good? They have the exact flights I need but I've never heard of them? You sound like you have used them before and I like to know the company Im using are resonable before booking.

Rob B 1,256 Posted January 3, 2005 We always use Czech Airlines, they are very good, they are the equivant of British Airways in this country, you get meals etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BilaHora Posted January 3, 2005 Miss SullyRox I have always had excellent service from Czech Airlines. As Mr Rob B says they are the "...flag carrier" in the Czech Republic and part of the "Sky Team" alliance. Regards BilaHora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excitement in Prague or no excitement at Silverstone(plus a sore credit card) Sullyrox, you can't persuade our mate Addy to come as well, can you?.
