Prague: day trips

For a sight-seeing day trip, don't miss Kutna Hora for the cathedral:

For times Praha - Ceske Budejovice try:

The train journey Tabor - Bechyne was rather nice. The pub we did in the main square was full of bits of old jet fighter plane(!).

Karlovy Vary might be a bit far for a day, but could be worth checking times for.

Thanks, Arthur. Kutna Hora is only a 1hr train trip. The cathedral looks impressive. Beer is probably cheaper there than in the big city.

Don't miss the bones! They are walking distance from the station.

It's best to get the bus from the station to the cathedral, though it is walkable - we walked back, via the ossuary. A taxi would probably be pretty cheap.

We found that Praha was to the Czech Republic what London is to Britain (not surprisingly, really!), in that the capital was significantly more expensive than elsewhere. Some of the pubs and resturants in touristy bits of Praha were getting on for "western" prices, but those are probably the ones to avoid anyway (and why on earth would anyone go all that way to drink in an "Irish" pub?!).

No, it's definitely do-able, but the train journey is longer than you might expect for the distance - couple of hours each way from memory.

I agree, Arthur. But the last time I was in Prague, I remember walking past an Oirish pub. It was packed to the rafters with Brits in their replica football shirts watching Premiership football on Sky TV...

I probably walked past it as well :-)

We found a Czech Railways theme pub, somewhat trendier than Britain's Heads of Steam.
