wow at the prices now.
Thanks,
mkjr, yes, definitely peak season
. And I'm guessing the prices would be even more of a bargain in the pre-EU era.

Also, thanks for the pictures at the Museum of Communism. I've been twice and wanted to go both times, but it just didn't work out.
I take it y'all didn't go to the seven-story club, Karlovy lázně? Some of my best memories (that I can't remember) are from that place. Good times, good times...
Thank you,
brewdog11. I was thinking of doing a free walking tour (after reading
hauteboy's recent Prague trip) but as we had a guidebook and plenty of time we just wandered about by ourselves. I'll have to add the Karlovy lázně to the (long) list for next time

I guess the folks that complain about it having too many tourists were lucky to discover it in a time when it was off the map, but with the Internet at all, there just aren't too many of those places anymore. Looks great to me though - I'll have to make it over there.
Thanks,
arlflyer. It's been a while since I've been anywhere with an abundance of tourists, so was fine to be amongst the masses again
. A wonderful city with plenty of beauty to share with all the visitors

Thank you,
mattyw. Yes, definitely worth a second, longer visit
