This city is far away from Prague, almost 4 hours with car, if you have not traffic jam. So if you need go to Ostrava to business meeting like me, the best way is to catch train “Pendolino” which is going to Ostrava in three hours. The first one is starting from Prague in 5:23 and you sould catch first metro (it start in 4:45). Then you will be in Ostrava in cca 8:30. It is rally good that the train stops just in few train station (Prague m.s. – Pardubice – Olomouc – Ostrava–Svinov – Ostrava m.s.).

I enjoy walking at (night) in Prague. On this unusual website I want to write about some special places in Prague, which you can enjoy too. My goal is to show you the capital city „Prague“ in an unusual light. You can enjoy your visit i Prague more, read about interesting places or know history of Prague. The second reason for this article is to practise my English.
St Nicholas Church on Lesser Town is placed between Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. This big church have robust dome and thin bell-tower and they are an inseparable part of the Prague Castle skyline. The size of „the church building“ is monumental: it is 40 metres wide and 60 metres long. Construction of church building was commenced by master-builder P.Bos who was shortly replaced by Giovanni D. Orsi. To build the church need almost 70 years, the decisive phase began only after 1702 and that according to the new variant, the authorship of which is ascribed to Kristof Dientzenhofer. He died in 1722 and the building was finished by his son Kilian I. Dienzenhofer. Construction of the Church of St Nicholas significantly contributed to the development of height Baroque architecture in Prague.
This weekend I have been on the Karlštejn. It is really good tip for tourist. There are good connection with train from mail train station, may be 45 minutes whit train, and then you have to go 2 KM from train station to the Karlštejn castle. And the train is gong each 40 minutes. There are two tour firs one is shorter for 250Kc and second one is now closed and it is for 500Kc.
There are a lot of shops, nice restaurants. You can make nice photos and see part of our history focusing to Charles IV.
