gbr135 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Here Here Noaksey, we witnessed it for ourselves last time we went to the Prague GP. When the thieves had realised we had clocked what they were up to they were off the train at the next stop and ran like hell. I know you said tram but people, just be warned it happens on the packed trains as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing to alarm anyone but you do need to be very careful on public transport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 To be fair it is rife in most cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Apart from the gp is there much else to do in prague. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's one of the most beautiful cities in the world, full of architectural gems, history and culture.

SCB Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Apart from the gp is there much else to do in prague. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Loads. And there always a bar near by if you need a cheap drink Even things like going up to the castle are interesting (just don't be talked into walking, get the tram ) Can also suggest the Petrin Tower, give a great view of Prague. I also get excited going on the Metro (underground) too You could spend days (and 1000's of Koruna) in the shops too! My plan this year is to take the clothes I'm wearing and an empty suitcase and buy clothes over there There's enough there to keep you entertained/amused for 5+ days.

Mark Evans Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 The Atlas bar is good place to spend a few hours. I even bumped into a few ex riders in there. Not the kind of place you take your missus mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was a van actually and i think he said it took him just shy of 24hrs. I've been there, once by mistake, honestly. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Prague is a beautiful city with loads to do and see. One of the best weekends I spent last year was over there for the Grand Prix even though I got soaked and the Grand Prix meeting was crap. First thing to do is get a daily etc. ticket for the transport system wherever you can (e.g. at the subway stations). Don't think you can just wait for a tram and get on expecting to pay the driver. You can't! If you don't have a ticket you take a big risk getting on because if an inspector happens to get on and asks you to produce a valid ticket you can be hit with a hefty fine if you haven't get one. If you're in two minds whether to go and haven't been before - go! You won't regret it. By the way I can recommend the Diplomat Hotel right next door to the subway and with buses and trams running by outside. Nicky Pedersen and Thomas Gollob were among the riders staying there last year. Edited January 14, 2008 by Merlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusky Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Does anyone ever drive to Prague? we may well be going but I won't be able to book a flight till much nearer the date. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have driven there several times, and its about 900 miles from King's Lynn to Prague, and takes about 16 - 17 hours driving time ( in a van), plus the ferry / shuttle. If you are used to driving it is dooable in one hit as the roads are pretty good on the whole once you get on the continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Have you see the price of flights?! Thats putting me off! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's the problem with budget airlines, you need to get your tickets ASAP as the price increases as time passes. We booked 6 tickets last month and it was roughly £580, on checking last week it was around £730.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbr135 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Must correct you there Spooky mate. Our flights were in fact £519 for 6 of us not £580. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
