Walking along the hill of Petershin, my husband and I went to the monastery. It turned out that this one of the oldest monasteries of Prague is a Strahov monastery. The place is very interesting. White walls with wild grapes, a quiet courtyard with old trees. The monastery garden begins from the hill and has a viewing platform overlooking Prague degrees. Many shops in the territory, there is where to relax. The entrance is free. But the toilets are paid. Monastery acting. But the monks I saw only at the courses of exposures, probably there are a little there.
I remembered that I wanted to see the library of the monastery. We paid for 140 crowns per ticket (about 400 rubles). Excursions in Russian No, you can take a card with the description of the exhibits. The exposition presents vintage books, very curious.
Placed, however, it is extremely uncomfortable: in the corridor, in front of the library doors. The space is narrow, you have to pushed to them. The library itself is, of course, very beautiful.
It is a pity that enjoying beauty comes from the door. The room itself is not allowed. Photographing either not allowed. I was disappointed. For 400 rubles, a view from the keyhole is shown. Do not waste money, it is not worth it. In Prague, many fees with excellent painting ceilings and free entrance.
Separately, I want to tell about the beer restaurant located on the territory of the monastery. Be sure to go. There is a wonderful beer. Prices are one and a half times higher than in ordinary beer, but it is worth it. Portions are large, quite enough one for two. The restaurant in the warm time is open a veranda. We were in October, she still worked.
Visit the Strahov monastery, this is a place for the whole family. My husband and I remember Prague, we think about this amazing place with a special warmth. Be sure to return there.
