Prague is served by an extensive public transport system, and one ticket covers trains, buses, and trams. You pay by time, whether it's 30 minutes, 90 minutes, a day or three days. There are longer tickets available. We chose the whole day ticket, which costs 200 Crowns or around ten dollars.
Earlier in the day we visited the Farmers Market in Prague 3 (pictured below), which runs from Wednesday to Saturday. The fresh produce is superb, easily surpassing the quality we have seen in the shops. It was very popular with the locals. I recommend that if you have an apartment to stock up on the fresh fruit and vegetables. The sorbet stand is also great.
It seemed all of Prague were out today enjoying the sunshine in the many parks around the city or in the little neighbourhood pubs. Prague is enjoying a baby boom of recent years, which is a good sign, because that often signals faith in the future.
This interesting church (pictured above) is in the park with the Farmers Market. If you need a landmark once again orientate yourself with the telecommunications tower (pictured below), and yes those are giant babies crawling up the tower.
I've seen them before in a park near the Lennon Wall in the Little Quarter (pictured below). I don't know what they mean. Is it something to do with the baby boom or is it just art. I promise to find out before the end of the trip.
In our neighbourhood there are many artists, and I have seen them drawing in the cofffee shops or working on some project on their Appple Macs. There is a thriving art scene in Prague including a film industry with more and more films being made in Prague.
Travel Tips
- purchase tickets to public transport from any tobacconist or the yellow vending machines.
