Description
Take a walk through the unconventional places and nooks of the capital city. Together with the author, you will explore the faded glory of the Barrandov Terraces or visit the "Golden Lane" in Střešovičky, where you won't encounter crowds of tourists or have to pay an entrance fee. You will be welcomed by the picturesque Nový Svět and the impoverished colony of Na Slatinách. You can relax in the spa resort in Klánovice or in Bohnice, which will surprise you with the variety of monuments and the number of mysterious places. You will visit beautiful nature in Hostavice and also see the luxurious Ořechovka or Old Hostivař. "Walking around the wide outskirts of the city is not just tourism; it is somewhat of an exploration of unknown areas. Many Prague residents know, say, the Tatras like the back of their hand; far fewer have explored Vackov or Butovice... A resident of Letná might only reach Olšany at their own funeral, while a resident of Královské Vinohrady is more likely to visit Algeria than the Petrská district." Karel Čapek, Pictures from Home
