art nouveau

prague is well known for it's authentic old buildings, my favorite are the art nouveau ones, although they tend to get a bit gaudy.

Prague represented our introduction to Central Europe and was a totally wonderful experience. We visited the Castle District, Wenceslas Square, and the Old Town Square area as well as the Jewish Ghetto and found all exciting and interesting. And of course we went to Kampa and walked across the bridge. Prague escaped the most serious damages of WWII and the medieval centre with cobblestone alleys, hidden squares and churches remains intact and inviting. Shopping for selected items was rewarding and we were pleased with the dining experience as well. Cheap Prague hotels with gourmet restaurants are now interspersed with the traditional. The residents we met, of course largely in a service setting, were initially reserved and a little aloof in the presence of obvious Americans. But they became warm, hospitable, and friendly very quickly, perhaps realizing that we were not ogres. Prague represents a great vacation experience.
