A Day Without Cars

September 16, 2006 By Dana Leave a Comment

The European Mobility Week is taking place in Prague from today through September 22. A “Day Without Cars” (Den bez aut) is scheduled for tomorrow although it really started today at 2 p.m. when the Národní divadlo – Staroměstská – Palachovo náměstí – Mánesův most route was closed to regular traffic. It will remain closed until 4 p.m. on Sunday. Jeff and I were at the Rudolfinum right after 2 p.m. and we were lucky to catch a bunch of trams arriving and lining up on the bridge for today’s tram exhibition.
