Prague Tours – Charles Brigde (Karluv most)
For all Its antiquity Charles Bridge is far from being the first structure to bridge the River Vltava, and the name by which we know it these days first appeared only in 1870, when its name was changed from Stone Bridge to Charles Bridge. The fact is that as far back as the 10th century Prague had a bridge, perhaps situated where Manes Bridge stands today. Historical sources refer to a wooden bridge, which most likely withstood the incursions of flooding for more than two hundred years.

Czech Shopping: Czech Costume Jewelry
The beauty of Czech rhinestone costume jewelry has played a major role in Czech costume jewelry’s prestige over the past two centuries.

PRAGUE SHOPPING: Jewelery Shop
The range of Czech costume jewelery is extraordinarily wide and is based on the production of the basic element of costume jewellery – glass beads, listing all the types, forms and color variations of glass beads which are produced in Jablonec and Zeleny Brod Districts would probably require a lot of work and take many years – hundreds of types of the most common bead – the rokaji – are produced.

PRAGUE RESTAURANTS: Oleo Pazzo Mediterranean Bistro
As points of transit airports are not traditionally seen as places to linger. However, as standards of service and facilities improve, that is changing. This establishment – introduces a 4-star oasis of service and hospitality to the new airport complex – is a case in point. One can easily imagine coming here even if one is not traveling – that way you need not worry about missing the flight!
