I would like to share my trip to Prague.
Let's start with the fact that I wanted to give a gift to my husband for his birthday, namely,
show Europe.
Friends advised me to contact the NM-Travel travel agency (www. nmtravel. ru), which has helped them more than once, and I am grateful to them for that. Despite the fact that the tour was a group tour to Prague, the agency helped us organize an individual trip to Berlin as well.
But everything is in order.
The meeting at the airport was organized, they were waiting for us with a sign that was simply impossible not to notice. We were brought to the hotel, where they helped with accommodation.

The Ibis Praha Old Town 3* hotel is conveniently located in the center of Prague. The breakfasts are not bad, very varied: vegetables and fruits, various pates, jams, Olivier salad, omelettes, sausages, of course, cheese and sausage cuts. The rooms are small, no closets, just a couple of narrow shelves. But very bright rooms. And we also had a very quiet one. But we came to admire the beauties of Prague, and the location of the hotel was just wonderful, thanks for the competent help of the agency manager who helped us choose the hotel.
Our tour program already included excursions to Vienna, Dresden and two walking tours in Prague. But I wanted something else, and it turned out to be Berlin! The agency suggested how to get to Berlin by train, explained where you can buy tickets and picked up a convenient schedule. We booked a hotel in Berlin. In Berlin, we booked a hotel on the famous Kurfü rstendamm street, in the western part of the city. We walked along Unter den Linden, admired the main sights: the Brandenburg Gate - a symbol of reunited Berlin, the Reichstag, the Berlin Cathedral, closely associated with the history of Germany, the Red Town Hall, Alexanderplatz Square, the Nicholas Quarter - the oldest settlement in Berlin, the famous island of museums. And the variety show in Friedrichstadpalas, of course, is different from the Moulin Rouge, but it also left an indelible impression. The visit to the sex museum of Beata Uze turned out to be unusual, the exhibits in this museum were collected from all over the world. We took a train to Potsdam, where, in addition to the famous Sanssouci Palace, there are more than a dozen other palaces.
My husband's dream came true, he saw three European capitals and Dresden at once. The trips to Vienna and Dresden were organized by the host in a very interesting way, we traveled on a large comfortable bus. Very good, knowledgeable guides who love their profession and are willing to share this information with us tourists. In Dresden, after a sightseeing tour, we ourselves went to the famous Dresden Gallery, admired the famous Sistine Madonna, but I was no less touched by the painting “Chocolate Girl”. For a long time I could not tear myself away from her. Also we were in the museum "Grunes Gewoelbe" - "Green Vaults" - the richest collection of jewels in Europe. This is the former treasury of the Saxon electors and kings.
In Vienna, among other things, we were very lucky with the weather. After the group tour, we had a very fruitful walk ourselves, were in the Burggarten at the grave of Mozart, it was very interesting for me as a musician... And we even found a minute to lie on the grass in the park.

But in Prague, the walks were not interesting, the next day we joined another excursion and made up for this shortcoming. I don't even know what to write about Prague. She is fabulous! We must go and see! And be sure to drink beer. The beer there is fantastic. I especially liked the dark Maestro. They drank it in the center, in a small bar about 5 minutes from the Charles Bridge. It is called, if I am not mistaken, Konviktska, or “At Konvikt”. And we also ate an amazing knuckle (huge) in the Potrefen Gus restaurant at the Staropramen brewery, Andel metro station. Finding pubs was not a problem, because they told me about all these places and showed me in detail on the map at the NM-Travel agency. Girls, especially Marina! - thank you very much!
The trip was at the end of summer, and we remember it now.
