Reconstruction of Prague’s Main Train Station Is Underway

December 31, 2006 By Jeff Leave a Comment

After a series of delays, the reconstruction of Prague’s main train station (Hlavní nádraží) began on December 14.  The Italian company Grandi Stazioni, which has extensive experience in the renovation of train stations in Italy, won the tender in 2002.  The work, which will be done in stages and could take until 2010, includes adding shops, improving the ticketing areas, restoring the historical section, and adding security around the station.

Christmas Markets in Prague Have Started to Open

November 24, 2006 By Jeff Leave a Comment

The Christmas market on Peace Square (Náměstí Míru) opened on Monday.  I dropped by a couple of days ago and was surprised to see how busy it was.  Shoppers were finding lots of dárky and doplňky, along with the usual market staples of medovina, svařené víno, and trdelník.

Tomorrow, the Christmas market opens at Republic Square (Náměstí Republiky).  The biggest markets, which are on Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, open next weekend.  We have details on our Prague Christmas Markets page.

Look both ways and RUN!

 CAUTION! Dangerous crossing

This is in Benešov where the only way to get from the main entrance of a large public park into town is to cross a busy thoroughfare. There’s no crosswalk here. Just an opening in the wall on the other side.
