| Description |
Set sail for the southern islands way down in Prague 4. Enjoy romantic accommodation in a quiet area of Prague, while still being near to the city center. The Botel Racek offers a summer terrace bar, with a lovely view of the river Vltava. All rooms have shower, toilet, satellite TV, clock radio, and telephone. In the years since November 17, 1989, when Prague's students took to the streets to help bring down the 40- year-old Communist regime, the "hundred-spired city" has enjoyed an exhilarating cultural renaissance. Amid Prague's cobblestone streets and gold-tip spires, new galleries, cafés, and clubs teem with young Czechs (the middle-aged are generally too busy trying to make a living) and members of the city's colony of "expatriates." New shops and, perhaps most noticeably, scads of new restaurants have opened, expanding the city's culinary reach far beyond the traditional roast pork and dumplings. Many have something to learn in the way of presentation and service, but Praguers still marvel at a variety that was unthinkable not so many years ago. |
