Prague is an ancient city filled with a long history of mystery, with much more than meets the eye. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this amazing city in August 2023. It was a last minute trip, so I truly had zero expectations for what to expect. Soon after landing, I realized I had stumbl...

Some years ago I went to Prague and ended up drugged, naked, covered in mud, and down $200. I was with my oldest friend, Murray, who had met me in Barcelona — where I had been teaching English for nine months — to traipse around Europe on the Euro Rail. We were 22. Our first stop was Vie...

Last summer, when the spring lockdown temporarily lifted, we engaged in a bit of an ‘empty Prague tourism.’ It’s surprising how little I get to see the city’s historical parts — I mostly avoid them because they are full of tourists. Prague is wonderful (so I understand ...

There was one other reason that I chose Prague: I have been here before (this is why I know it’s cheaper). It meant that I did not have to spend too much time exploring the environment to settle down. After all, I did not come here for vacation. I was here simply because I wanted to have a &ld...

I have seen several works by the artist David ??erný without knowing who he is. But this one had an element of surprise that was mind blowing. My wife and I were strolling around the side streets of Prague. We were sort of looking for a coffee shop, but mainly just taking in the ...

About five years ago, Pat and I visited Prague, Czech Republic. Walking around in that historic Bohemian city was a fascinating experience. In Wenceslaus Square, a tour guide talked glowingly about Vaclav Havel, a pioneer for Czech freedom(1977–89) and later, their first post-Soviet Preside...

Bohemia. Such a romantic name. A name Prague lives up to, even when the sun’s barely risen 3 degrees. Although it was spring, the morning was bitterly cold. When most sensible people would still be warm in bed, I set out with the aim of photographing the Charles Bridge before it became swamped...

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, regularly appears in rankings of the most beautiful capitals in Europe. It is difficult to deny its charm. Much of this is due to its history, which has been rather gentle towards Prague. However, the Czech capital is not only monuments. For years...

Anthony Bourdain had an uncanny ability to portray the essence of a place. His introductory monologues were so freaking inspiring and something I’ll forever attempt to emulate. How the hell can you capture the energy of a city in words? They’re such unique, ever-changing, and liv...

She and I are both on tram 22. We’re crossing the nám??stí Míru stop in Prague. I can see her from here, but she looks like she wants no one to notice her. She has her face toward the window, but her eyes aren’t staring out of it. There is nothing that excites her...
