Every girl in childhood dreams to visit the fairy tale: see a real castle, feel like a princess, plunge into the medieval atmosphere. And this journey to the past is quite feasible. So, I wanted on my vacation not only to soak on a hot sun, but also to face something eternal, meaningful, mysterious, I went to relax in wonderful Prague.
First of all, it is worth noting that the Czech Republic is a very cheap country by European standards. She met us with a friend of her amazing cuisine, with huge portions and reasonable prices. Of course, we could not resist and before the temptation of Czech beer. In general, I can note that gourmets there are than to take yourself in Prague.
But, since we were more worried about the problem of the thickening of spiritual hunger, and not physical, we tried to walk as much as possible. As an ordinary tourists, we made up the plan of our routes, affecting all the well-known Prague attractions (such as Charles Bridge, from the type of whose at night I took the Spirit, Cathedral of St. Witte, Prague Quararents, etc.), and less famous places that Were no less interesting. I will say one thing: you must find the time to just wander through the streets of Prague, meet the dawn in Vyšehlad, stumble upon several unusual places.
So, I was very struck by the view from the Vitkovsky Hill, I just wanted to sit there and think about eternal. The opposite, a little crazy, the impression on me was produced by two other monuments in Prague. The first - memorial victims of communism, the view is very ominous, but it costs to look at it. The second is huge babies crawling on the TV language with a USB connector instead of face. In my opinion, it is impossible to better reflect our modern 21st century, pecked by computer technologies. Such sculptures, again, are forced to think.
But most of all in the rest in the Czech Republic I was struck by a trip to a small town, located close to Prague, Krumlov. That's where the fairy tale really lives. Narrow cobbled streets, houses, literally from the pages of Andersen's fairy tales and Charles Pierrot, real water mills and, most amazing, the tower with which the real princess once dropped from unfortunate love.
Everything in Krumlov is simply impregnated with a fabulous atmosphere, she captures you and takes into medieval time. And returned from there to our noisy 21st century later I do not want at all.
It was just such a thing in my memoirs of the Czech Republic: a modern and medieval, exciting spirit from the beauty of the landscape, then from the sinister, but life monuments, magnificent and unique. The place where the fairy tale lived.
