Known as "Hollywood East" Prague's dramatic landscape and fairy tale silhouette has, for many years, served as a backdrop for many feature films. Laura will take us on a tour of some of those locations allowing the boldness and the beauty of the buildings to speak for themselves. Once around the Old Town will result in a visit to the majestic Prague Castle and an exclusive backstage tour of the National Puppet Theatre. Later, Laura will hire a rowboat for a fish eye's view of the city from the Vitava River. Capping off our trip to this magical city will be a tribute to the fabulous food, wonderful wine and spectactular street performers that make Praque one of the most popular places to visit. | |
