Just back, after a memorable weekend away.
Few highlights:
TRAP Prague; Boss laugh in here. Its a flat done out like a Cold War Spy's gaff. You get locked in, and you have an hour to escape. Loads of puzzles to solve, codes to find, hidden rooms, combination locks to undo etc., and all the while a big clock on the wall counts your time down to the accompanying sound of Russian martial music. Dead original, and reasonably priced. Brilliant way to spend an hour.
V Zatisi; Fantastic restaurant. Fine dining, so a bit pricey, but the food was exceptional. Nice change of pace from the cheap and cheerful [and very enjoyable] bars we spent the other nights in.
Ice Hockey at the O2: Friday night's entertainment. Great stadium, boss atmosphere. Slavia Prague lost 3-2, but the locals seemed to enjoy themselves anyway! My first ice hockey game-very enjoyable night and dead easy to get to on the Metro.
Vysehrad Park: Way over the other end of town from the castle, but again easily accessible on the tube. Nice park, great views, and hardly any tourists.
General thoughts: The beer is beautiful, and extremely cheap. We only saw one stag do the whole time we were there too, but this was probably due to the local knowledge of our guides-
We were being shown the city by a couple who live there, so they made sure we saw the castle etc., but we avoided the times when such places were overrun by tourists.
The shuttle bus from the airport to the Old Town was ace - runs every half an hour from right outside the arrivals hall to right outside our hotel, all for about a fiver per person.
Overall, couldn't recommend the place highly enough.
