If you arrive by aeroplane then the first part of the city you will meet is Dejvicka. The bus #119 from Ruzyne Airport (Letiste) will take you Metro A station Dejvicka (the same applies for getting out of town). From there using either tram or metro you can get any where you wish to go. Otherwise from Ruzyne, Cedok transportation service operates a shuttle bus service to the city they will also drop you off at your chosen destination if you ask nicely. The busses (white VW vans depart every half hour and its good value) return to Ruzyne from Namesti Republiky in the old town . Dejvicka has little to offer visitors there are of course some nice places, so if you have time…. On the roundabout is a pub built in an old public toilet which is quite interesting, just don't eat the yellow snow! ................................................... Letna has a wealth of good stuff. Th ere are two grand parks, Stromovka the ex royal hunting grounds makes for a very pleasant stroll and Letna offers good opportunities for you sexy babes on roller blades, some of the best views of the city after dark, the park is also a popular gay pick up point and offers some convenient discreet bushes to get acquainted in. Sparta FC home soccer ground is located between the two and the Veletrzni Palace modern and contemporary art centre also hosts some big music concerts as well as works by Picasso and other non-painters etc..

Hradcany & the Prague castle speaks for its self and as such is best visited with your tourist hat firmly about your ears. In the correct frame of mind the castle is great fun and need not break the bank. Best is to hang out and steal onto many of the ever passing tour groups for a few free info's.

.... & The Jewish Quarters...........................................The former Jewish ghetto is home to more legends, synagogues, gold shops & expensive hotels per sq metre than you could shake your Rabbi stick at. The Rabbi Löw walked his Golem around the area in the 16 hundreds & both are buried here. Don't wake the golem if you do come across his remains as he is never in a good mood & would not only do away with your good self but your whole family & everyone you know, so be warned. The cemetery is a very interesting visit, if you're not in the mood to queue all day to get in, on the street behind & beside the Rudolfinum (built by the colourful Emperor Rudolf II) theatre, is a hole in the wall overlooking the graves. Beside that is the university library where studied Mr Jan Palach before he immoted himself (burnt himself to death) on the occasion of the Warsaw pact invasion in 1969, his gruesome death mask watches over the street a reminder of a terrible time in recent history. Franz Kafka is one other famous & if I may, brilliant ex residents.......................................
